Paybix wins the HRtech Startup of the Year Award

Paybix wins the coveted “Startup of the Year” trophy, a competition organized every year by HRtech.be.  Originally entered in early June, it was a 4-month countdown to the award ceremony last Wednesday, where we received the trophy out of the hands of jury president Jurgen Ingels.  

The jury praised our approach in what they referred to as “the mess of international payroll”.   When a huge amount of time is lost in just getting the data across from the employer to the local payroll provider, you know something is wrong. Paybix has developed an affordable platform (Epix) that digitizes the entire payroll process from data-input to detailed reporting.   Epix can connect with any local payroll system in any country, and is an all-in-one platform for multi-country payroll.  It is standardized, requiring a very low implementation effort, and can be set up in just a few weeks.

The vote was determined 60% by the jury and 40% by the public.  Paybix received a huge number of votes from the public!  We have felt a lot of support from our community throughout the whole voting procedure and we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all those who have voted for us and share our belief in a much more efficient and integrated multi-country payroll processing.  

Special shout out to our first customers who gave us their trust without having any references, all our investors and of course our fabulous team, without whom none of this would have been possible.

It's 2026. It's Time Global Payroll Had a System of Record.
For decades, multinational companies have invested in global payroll providers, HCM platforms and payroll integrations. Yet many still rely on spreadsheets to manage payroll data across countries. Why? Because the payroll industry never built a Global Payroll System of Record. In this article, I explore why this missing layer is preventing true payroll automation and why it's time to rethink global payroll architecture.
