Payments automation platform Modulr has announced a partnership with HR technology provider HiBob, aimed at improving payroll reliability and reducing administrative workload for payroll and finance teams.
The integration will allow HiBob customers to execute payroll payments directly within their existing workflow by deploying Modulr’s payments automation technology into the platform.
Payroll payments often require teams to export files, navigate multiple banking portals and reconcile payment outcomes across different systems. These manual processes can increase the risk of errors and delays.
Automation aims to reduce payroll errors
By embedding Modulr’s technology into HiBob’s payroll workflow, the partnership aims to create a single process from payroll approval through to salary and tax payments.
The companies say this approach can reduce administrative effort while improving accuracy and oversight during the payroll cycle.
Melek Pirgon, chief product officer at Modulr, said the partnership focuses on improving accuracy and reducing operational friction for payroll teams. “Partnering with HiBob allows us to bring payments automation into a critical workflow for finance and payroll teams, reducing friction and increasing accuracy and reliability,” she said.
“This partnership reflects our focus on solving high-impact payment challenges for scaling businesses,” she said.
Focus on improving the pay day experience
HiBob said the integration was designed to strengthen trust around payroll processes, which are often one of the most sensitive operational moments for organisations.
Bobby Chadha, senior product director at HiBob, said reliable payroll payments are central to the employer-employee relationship. “Pay day is one of those make-or-break moments for employer-employee trust, so having the right payments infrastructure in place that ensures seamless payroll experiences should be non-negotiable,” he said.
“Our partnership with Modulr brings a true end-to-end HR, payroll and finance experience to our customers, that is easy to use and build on as they scale,” he said.
The companies said customers using the integrated system were reporting less time spent on payroll administration and improved accuracy in employee payments.
