Convera Convera

Convera is a global fintech leader in commercial and cross-& border payments, helping organisations of all sizes move money securely, efficiently, and with confidence. Trusted by over 30,000 customers worldwide, Convera’s platform is designed to simplify the complexities of international financial operations - especially global payroll payments - so businesses can pay employees, contractors, and partners accurately, on time, and in local currency no matter where they are located. At the core of Convera’s value is a technology-led payments infrastructure that supports more than 140 currencies across 200+ countries and territories. This broad currency and geographic coverage enables payroll and finance teams to streamline multi-currency disbursements, reduce foreign exchange (FX) risk, and consolidate payroll execution in a single, intuitive platform. With real-time global payments, bulk payment capabilities, automated validation, and integrated compliance tools, Convera helps organisations reduce errors, shorten payment lead times, and minimise administrative burden.

Convera’s global network comprises 50+ local and regional banking partners and 500+ bank accounts around the world, allowing customers to choose the most efficient payment rails - such as local transfers (e.g., ACH, SEPA, BACS), wire transfers, or other settlement options - optimised for speed, cost, and certainty. This network advantage enables payroll payments to be executed in local regulatory and banking environments, helping companies ensure that their global workforce is paid correctly and on schedule.

Payroll teams operating across borders face unique challenges. From navigating diverse regulatory landscapes to managing FX volatility and maintaining data privacy, global payroll requires specialised expertise. Convera’s platform is built with these challenges in mind: offering competitive FX rates, secure file uploads for multi-payment runs, integration with existing ERP and payroll systems, and straight-through processing that reduces manual effort and risk. This focus on payroll-centric precision sets Convera apart from many traditional payment providers.

Convera also places a strong emphasis on security and compliance. With robust compliance screening, regulatory coverage in multiple jurisdictions, and enterprise-grade data protection standards, the platform gives payroll and finance teams peace of mind that sensitive employee and payment data are protected and processed in accordance with local and international requirements.

Founded as a spin-out from the former Western Union Business Solutions, Convera has rapidly evolved into a stand-alone leader in global B2B payments with a clear focus on innovation and customer experience. Convera maintains a strong international footprint with over 30 worldwide offices ensuring that local market insights inform global operations.

Partnerships also strengthen Convera’s ability to serve payroll teams more effectively. Strategic collaborations with payroll and HCM leaders - such as integrated payroll and payments solutions - enable companies to manage payroll execution and payment disbursements through unified workflows, reducing complexity and enhancing accuracy.

Convera’s mission is to make moving money so easy that companies around the world can grow with confidence. By combining extensive global reach, deep FX expertise, robust compliance, and payroll-focused innovation, Convera helps organisations transform their payroll payments from a source of risk and friction into a competitive advantage.
