Deel is the global HR and payroll platform that lets companies hire, pay, and manage employees and contractors in 150+ countries. For African founders, Deel solves two critical problems: (1) paying international contractors or employees without a US/EU entity, and (2) getting paid as a contractor in Africa by international clients. Supports local bank transfers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa.
