The problem
Distributed teams now span 30+ countries for many companies. Each new country adds payroll vendors, FX conversion overhead, local compliance considerations, and reconciliation work. Workers want fast, predictable payment in their preferred currency — including stablecoins, in some regions. Finance teams want one source of truth for what was paid, when, to whom.
The AXON approach
AXON Transfer is designed to support cross-border payroll with documented settlement and per-worker compliance evidence. AXON Pay is designed to handle the payout side, including stablecoin payouts where local rules allow. (Subject to applicable licensing and partner arrangements.)
Example workflow
- Workers complete KYC during onboarding; payment preferences captured.
- Payroll batch prepared in the company's home currency.
- Per-worker routing: bank transfer in local currency, stablecoin, or other rails as appropriate.
- Compliance checks (sanctions, KYT) applied per payment.
- Settlement records captured per worker and per pay period.

Which countries?
Coverage depends on partner arrangements; AXON's team can confirm specific markets.
How are taxes handled?
