In today’s interconnected world, businesses are increasingly aiming for a global scale. As companies expand their operations across borders, paying salaries to employees in different countries can become complex. This is particularly true regarding paying remote employees based in Africa. Companies face challenges around restrictions, compliance, currency conversion complexities, fluctuating exchange rates, and the high cost of remittances.

African-based remote employees are also experiencing challenges around salary delays, deduction on earnings, and county work restrictions. According to a 2021 report by Google, 38% of African Software Engineers work for at least one company based outside of the continent. These are some of the challenges cited by remote employees/freelancers working across country with employers in Africa or across the continent with employers overseas.

Our CEO, Elohor Thomas announced the launch of CodeLn Pay on stage at the recently concluded Collision Conference in Canada. This new product was built to mitigate the challenges and friction experienced by both employers and employees/freelancers. CodeLn Pay streamlines the salary payment process, making it efficient, secure, and hassle-free.

At the time of this launch, CodeLnPay is available for employers based in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe to process salary payments seamlessly and compliantly to their remote employees/contractors in Africa. And employees based anywhere in Africa can invoice their employers abroad and receive payments from any of the specified regions.
