About Rise

Rise is a global payroll and compliance platform built for companies hiring and paying distributed teams across borders. Whether you're paying independent contractors, full-time employees, or Web3 contributors, Rise consolidates every step such as onboarding, compliance, payments, and reporting into a single platform. Rise supports payments in 90+ local currencies, USDC, USDT, and 100+ cryptocurrencies, making it one of the most flexible global payroll solutions available for both traditional businesses and crypto-native companies. Teams can fund payroll from a bank account or an on-chain treasury, and workers choose how and when to withdraw in fiat or crypto. For companies that need to hire without setting up a local entity, Rise offers Employer of Record (EOR) services across 190+ countries and an Agent of Record (AOR) model that protects businesses from contractor misclassification risk. Both services handle local labor law compliance, tax documentation, and benefits, automatically. Rise ID provides portable, reusable digital identity verification with built-in KYC, KYB, and AML checks, eliminating repetitive onboarding for workers across multiple engagements. Rise Earn lets companies and contractors put idle USDC balances to work, earning yield directly inside the platform, powered by Aave on Arbitrum without any DeFi complexity. Rise is SOC 2 Type II certified, registered as a Money Service Business, and has processed over $1.5 billion in total payroll volume. It integrates with Gnosis Safe, Coinbase, MetaMask, and more. Built for CFOs, HR teams, legal and compliance leaders, and Web3 organizations scaling globally.
