New partnership provides customers with autonomy; enabling payments in the most countries and currencies at the time, frequency and currency of their choice
BOSTON, Feb. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- G-P (Globalization Partners), the leading Global Employment Platform™, and Wise, the global technology company building the best way to move money around the world, today announced a partnership that will power the future of how businesses pay international freelancers and contractors.
Through the integration with G-P and Wise, companies will have direct access within the G-P platform to an efficient payment system that ensures fairness and pay transparency for all talent. Traditionally, cross-border transactions have been limited to time-consuming and manually intensive bank transfers for payment processing, providing no choice to customers or professionals. G-P Contractor will now deliver flexible payment options and a straightforward view into the entire payments process — including the mid-market exchange rate.
"Together with Wise we are creating a world that is unhindered by traditional financial systems, providing customers and contractors an ethical and transparent employment and payment process for all talent through our Global Employment Platform," said Nat Rajesh Natarajan, chief product and strategy officer, G-P. "At G-P, our mission is to create a borderless and equitable world of work. Delivering flexible payment options is critical to delivering on that mission and meeting the needs of today's professionals."
Unlike other solutions, there are no hidden transaction fees — giving businesses more control and autonomy over their international payments. They can choose the time, frequency and currency of payments, and will see a full breakdown of transaction details and real-time payment status. These payments will save time and labor on individual invoices, ensure timely delivery of funds, provide the current FX rate, avoid inefficiencies and create a more transparent process for all involved. It also provides a significant benefit for those that don't have access to stable currencies or are experiencing rapid inflation around the globe.
"We're excited to work with G-P to provide an easy and transparent way for companies to bring on global contractors and better manage these relationships," said Steve Naudé, Head of Wise Platform. "We've seen a growing need from companies to have more control over their international payments, especially to contractors, and are proud to see G-P trusting Wise to manage and power their cross-border capabilities. We look forward to working with G-P as they break down the barriers to global business."
