TransferMate has partnered with Cadana to add statutory compliance infrastructure to its global payroll platform. The integration covers salary disbursements and statutory remittances in more than 70 countries.
The arrangement targets payroll providers that manage cross-border payments and tax obligations through multiple suppliers. Through the Cadana integration, those firms can handle both processes through a single application programming interface.
Global payroll providers have faced rising complexity as they expand into more jurisdictions, particularly where local tax filing and remittance rules differ sharply from market to market. The new setup brings statutory filing and remittance tools into the same workflow used for salary payments.
Cadana's statutory filing and remittance infrastructure covers more than 40 countries, with a focus on Latin America, Africa and Asia-Pacific. The partnership extends TransferMate's existing payments network into statutory compliance, an area that often requires separate local partners and systems.
Payroll providers using TransferMate's platform will be able to automate statutory filings and remittances alongside salary disbursements, reduce the need to manage separate compliance and payments vendors, and draw on in-country statutory expertise across multiple jurisdictions.
TransferMate serves customers in more than 200 countries and territories and operates under 100 licences. It describes its network as the largest regulated fintech payments infrastructure by licence footprint.
Compliance push
The partnership is likely to be particularly relevant in markets where payroll compliance has been harder to manage, including parts of Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America. In those regions, payroll providers often need local licensing arrangements, specialist tax knowledge and direct access to domestic payment infrastructure.
Cadana said its network is built on locally licensed partners and direct integrations with local infrastructure. According to the companies, this gives payroll providers access to markets that might otherwise require local investment and separate compliance relationships.
For payroll technology providers, the move reflects broader demand from clients seeking fewer handoffs between salary distribution and statutory payments. Instead of managing wages through one provider and tax remittances through another, employers and payroll firms have been looking for more consolidated operating models.
Gary Conroy, Chief Executive Officer of TransferMate, said the company sees payroll as increasingly tied to regulation as well as payments execution.
"Payroll is no longer just about moving salaries - it's about delivering certainty in increasingly complex regulatory environments," Conroy said.
"By integrating statutory remittance capabilities directly into our infrastructure, we're helping payroll providers remove friction from one of the most operationally demanding parts of global expansion. Partnering with Cadana is an important step in making global payroll payments and compliance feel local, simple, and seamless."
Single workflow
Cadana framed the partnership as a response to fragmented payroll operations in international markets. Many providers still rely on several external partners to handle payments, filings and remittances, adding cost and operational risk as they enter new countries.
Cadana's platform combines payout infrastructure with a statutory filing and remittance module. The company said the module covers more than 90 countries, while the TransferMate integration currently enables payroll providers to manage salary disbursements and statutory remittances across more than 70 countries through a single platform.
Albert Owusu-Asare, Chief Executive Officer of Cadana, said the existing model often forces providers to assemble multiple cross-border services.
"Too many payroll providers are forced to stitch together multiple partners to manage payments and statutory obligations across borders, and that complexity compounds as they expand," Owusu-Asare said.
"Together with TransferMate, we're replacing that model with something fundamentally better: a single, resilient foundation that combines deep local statutory expertise with global payments reach. Providers get the infrastructure they need to scale internationally without the operational overhead."
The deal highlights how payments firms and payroll infrastructure providers are moving closer together as multinational employers seek more unified systems for workforce payments, tax remittance and local compliance in hard-to-serve markets.
