New York, May 14, 2026 – Papaya Global, the company reshaping workforce payments, today announced a new strategic partnership with Fragomen, the world’s leading immigration services provider. The collaboration brings together Papaya’s advanced global workforce and payments technology with Fragomen’s unparalleled immigration knowledge and capabilities, creating a unified, tech-powered experience for organizations managing talent across borders, including enterprises, expatriate programs, and multinational companies managing large-scale global mobility needs.

“At Papaya, we’re building the technology layer for managing global workforce - one platform to hire, manage, and pay anyone, anywhere,” said Eynat Guez, CEO and Co-founder at Papaya Global. “Partnering with Fragomen allows us to integrate the most trusted name in immigration directly into our ecosystem. Together, we’re giving companies the visibility, intelligence, and automation they need to confidently move talent across borders and stay compliant at every step.”

Transforming Global Mobility Through Technology and Expertise

As companies expand globally, the complexity around immigration, compliance, and movement of international talent continues to grow. This partnership supports organizations in managing these responsibilities by combining Papaya’s technology with Fragomen’s deep understanding of global immigration frameworks.

Papaya clients now have direct access to Fragomen’s immigration intelligence within Papaya’s Country Knowledge Base, providing a centralized, country-specific resource that includes immigration requirements alongside labor laws, compliance rules, payroll standards, and other essential regulatory information.

“As global mobility becomes more dynamic, organizations need solutions that connect immigration requirements with broader workforce systems. Our collaboration with Papaya Global strengthens how immigration services function within the wider mobility ecosystem and reflects Fragomen’s commitment to advancing how these services are delivered. This alignment allows employers to manage talent across borders with greater cohesion, transparency and scalability,” said Brendan Ryan, Growth & Markets Partner at Fragomen.


A Partnership Built for the Future of Borderless Work

With global mobility accelerating and distributed work becoming the norm, Papaya and Fragomen’s combined strengths provide companies with a strategic advantage: a single, integrated environment to manage immigration, workforce data, payroll, and compliance with confidence.
