Your global payroll, run by a team of expert agents.

Tools like Gusto charge per payment because they're moving money domestically over ACH, a near-zero-cost rail with no compliance overhead. VoltPay is doing something fundamentally different. When you sign up, we run KYB on your business, provision a dedicated tenant for your company, and set up compliance monitoring across every country you operate in. Your per-contractor fee covers identity and tax document collection, contract management, document vault, multi-country compliance, and AI-powered operations. Not just the payment. You're paying for a managed global payroll service.

Because onboarding you costs us real money before you ever send a payment. We verify your business (KYB), provision your tenant, and activate compliance monitoring. For COR and EOR placements we also collect each contractor's government ID, tax ID, and tax form: W-9 for US contractors, W-8BEN or the local equivalent elsewhere, and we can run an optional background check through Checkr when you want one. That work runs from day one. A free trial would mean we absorb those costs for people who aren't serious. Your first paid seat is the commitment gate. We don't do tire-kickers. We do customers whose payroll we handle.

Each contractor seat includes: identity and tax document collection (government ID, tax ID, W-9 or W-8BEN depending on where the contractor pays tax), an optional background check through Checkr, country-specific contract management, a secure document vault, compliance monitoring for their jurisdiction, AI agent credits for payroll operations and support, and access to every payout rail we support. It's a contractor compliance and management fee. Payments are included, but they're one part of the value. There's no platform fee on top: you pay per seat, nothing else.

It comes down to who is the responsible party. With Contractor Payments ($15/contractor/month) you're still the contracting party, and we run the payroll, contracts, and compliance for you. With Contractor of Record ($300/contractor/month) VoltPay is the contractor of record: we are the contracting party and the responsible party for the engagement. With Employer of Record (from $500/employee/month) we actually employ the person in-country, handling local payroll, statutory benefits, and taxes. If a contractor has worked exclusively for you for 12+ months and looks like an employee, you want COR or EOR, not payments.

The work on your account is done by a team of expert AI agents: they prepare pay runs, check compliance, draft contracts, and answer your questions. That agent usage is metered in AI credits. Every seat includes a base allocation each month, which covers normal activity. If you run a heavy month (bulk onboarding, complex multi-country workflows), you top up with pay-as-you-go refill packs. So your bill is the per-seat fee plus usage, and proactive compliance alerts never cost credits. You only pay for the agents when you put them to work beyond the base allocation.

Because the real cost of employing someone varies roughly threefold by country. Employing in Brazil or Vietnam costs us far less than employing in the UK or Germany, where statutory benefits and compliance overhead are heavier. Anyone quoting a single flat worldwide EOR rate is either overcharging you in cheap countries or losing money in expensive ones. We price cost-plus from a $500 floor and quote your actual corridors up front. No surprises on the invoice.

USDC is a regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to USD. It's a routing optimization. Your money moves through stablecoin rails for speed and cost, but your contractors receive local fiat in their bank account. Nobody needs a crypto wallet.
