Remoly (锐募力) is a global employer of record (EOR) and workforce finance platform founded in 2019, with dual headquarters in Singapore and Beijing. The company combines three integrated solutions — employer of record services, global payroll, and contractor management — on a single platform, covering more than 100 markets through 25 wholly-owned entities across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East.

Remoly positions itself as an all-in-one workforce finance platform, helping companies hire, manage, and pay employees in foreign jurisdictions without establishing local entities. Its stated mission is to make global hiring "simple, compliant, and efficient," removing the compliance and operational barriers that prevent companies from hiring talent overseas. The company's brand philosophy — "talent knows no borders, and neither should hiring and payroll" — underpins its expansion strategy.

History

Remoly was founded in 2019 in Singapore and Beijing by a founding team with more than a decade of human resources industry experience, drawn from senior roles at multinational corporations. The platform initially focused on cross-border employment services for the Asia-Pacific market, before expanding its product lines and geographic footprint in successive phases.

In 2021, Remoly formally launched its employer of record (EOR) service, enabling companies to legally hire employees in foreign jurisdictions without establishing local entities. The service initially covered more than 30 countries, and the company began building a network of local compliance partners and entities.

In 2023, the company expanded its product line to include global payroll processing and multi-currency contractor payments. EOR coverage surpassed 100 countries, and operations grew beyond the two headquarters cities to multiple global locations.

In 2025, Remoly upgraded its payments platform, introducing free EU IBAN accounts and multi-currency wallets to connect payroll processing with cross-border fund management. The company also expanded its network of wholly-owned entities to 25, completing an end-to-end chain from payroll to cross-border payments.

Overview

Remoly operates a technology platform supported by local compliance specialists who update jurisdiction-specific employment rules in real time, combined with an automated rules engine for payroll calculations. The company describes its model as "expert + system dual protection": human compliance expertise reinforced by automated calculation accuracy.

• One platform, three integrated solutions — EOR, Global Payroll, and Contractor Management work together on a single system, avoiding fragmented global workforce management.
• 150+ countries and regions — clients can hire in markets including Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Nigeria, with local rules maintained for every jurisdiction.
• Triple service assurance — from interview to payday, clients stay in control of hiring, management, and payment.
• Dual protection — local compliance specialists updating policies in real time, plus an automated rules engine for precision calculations.

Services

Employer of record (EOR)

Through its employer of record service, Remoly acts as the legal employer for client companies' employees in foreign markets, handling employment contracts, payroll, statutory contributions, work permits, and compliance obligations. The service covers more than 100 countries and regions, enabling companies to enter new markets and onboard their first employee within weeks without incorporating locally. Compared with setting up a foreign subsidiary, EOR significantly shortens time-to-hire and avoids the cost and complexity of entity establishment.

Global payroll

The global payroll service processes multi-country payroll through a unified platform, calculating salaries, taxes, and social contributions according to local rules. The company emphasizes its combination of local compliance expertise and an automated rules engine to ensure calculation accuracy, reducing the month-end burden on CFOs and HR teams managing payroll differences across multiple countries.

Contractor management

The contractor management service supports engagement and payment of independent contractors in multiple currencies, including free EU IBAN accounts and multi-currency wallets introduced with the 2025 payments platform upgrade. This service targets businesses that engage freelancers or independent professionals globally, complementing the EOR offering for full-time employment.

Additional services

Beyond its three core product lines, Remoly provides supporting services such as global invoicing, work visa support, salary calculation tools, and market entry guidance through its partner network of more than 150 global partners.

Frequently asked questions

What is an employer of record (EOR)?

An employer of record is a company that legally employs workers on behalf of another business, handling contracts, payroll, taxes, and compliance in a foreign jurisdiction. Remoly's EOR service lets companies hire internationally without setting up their own local entity.

How is EOR different from a PEO?

A professional employer organization (PEO) typically co-employs staff in a country where the client already has an entity. An EOR becomes the legal employer in markets where the client has no entity — which is Remoly's core use case for global expansion.

Which countries does Remoly cover?

Remoly covers 100+ markets across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East through 25 wholly-owned entities, including Germany, the UK, the US, Thailand, Vietnam, and the UAE.

Does Remoly provide bank accounts for international payments?

Yes. Since the 2025 payments platform upgrade, clients can access free EU IBAN accounts and multi-currency wallets for payroll and contractor disbursement.

How quickly can a company start hiring?

Through EOR, companies can enter new markets and onboard their first employee within weeks, without incorporating locally or managing foreign entity compliance.
