The story

Multiplier was founded as an Employer of Record platform to help companies hire in 150+ countries without needing local legal entities. It expanded into full-stack global payroll, contractor management, and benefits administration. Its embedded finance angle is primarily in cross-border payroll disbursements (powered by Nium for FX/payouts), employer payment collection (Plaid for ACH, SEPA, eGIRO), and identity verification (Credas) during contractor onboarding. The company competes in the EOR/global payroll space against Deel, Remote, and Rippling.
