Papaya Global, the SaaS FinTech powerhouse offering a unified global Payroll & Payments, is one of TIME100 Most Influential Companies in the World for 2023, joining trailblazing brands previously listed, like OpenAI, Grammarly, and Zoom.

Papaya Global is recognized for its innovation which fundamentally changes payroll, with the understanding that payroll has a significant impact on individuals and on the global economy. Papaya’s technology enables an automated and unified Payroll & Payments process, seamless AI-powered integrations across critical tools for enterprises, and direct payments to global workers.

Papaya was built with the mission to move payroll to the forefront of the employer-employee relationship, and to democratize payroll by elevating it from a mere “technical process” to a process that enables financial-first thinking for individuals. This innovative approach provides better access to funds and supports bigger and better financial decisions (such as savings and loans) through payroll.

“Payroll is the most important process in any organization, and it deserves the best technology and attention,” said Eynat Guez, CEO and Co-Founder of Papaya Global. “TIME100’s recognition is a validation of our vision to provide our customers with control, compliance, and transparency of their workforce worldwide.”
