“Can a global orchestration layer on top of local payroll providers become the standard connective tissue for multinational payroll operations?”
Paybix was founded in 2021 by three ex-SD Worx / Coca-Cola / KPMG payroll veterans as a Belgian orchestration layer for multi-country payroll. Rather than replacing local in-country payroll providers (ICPs), Epix sits on top of them — standardizing input, automating data exchange with HCM/WFM systems, and unifying reporting. Positioned explicitly as the 'Swift of payroll,' Paybix is a payroll-tech connectivity play — NOT an embedded finance / money-movement platform. It does not run pay disbursement, hold funds, or issue cards; local ICPs continue to perform gross-to-net and payment execution.
PayBix integrates with ADP, Hibob, HCM systems (via Apideck), WFM systems and T&A systems.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in PayBix's stack: Unified APIs (Apideck); Accounting (ADP, Hibob, HCM systems (via Apideck), WFM systems and 1 other).
PayBix was founded by Bart Slaets, Rudi De Roeck and Hans Joris and is founded in 2021, headquartered in Kapelle-op-den-Bos, Belgium.
PayBix has raised $2.8M (~€2.95M) in total (latest round: Seed, 2023 (€1.75M)).
