Modulr, the payments automation platform built to scale, today announces a new partnership with AI powered HR, Finance and Payroll platform, HiBob. The partnership will see HiBob deploy Modulr’s payments automation directly into its payroll workflow, reducing the administrative burden and improving the pay day experience for customers.

Pay day is one of the most critical and high-pressure moments for payroll and finance teams, yet payroll payments remain fragmented and manually intensive. Teams are forced to spend time exporting files, navigating bank portals, and reconciling payment outcomes across disconnected systems.

These outdated, manual processes have contributed to a payments landscape where up to one quarter (25%) of UK employees experience payroll errors. This can undermine trust between employees and their employers.

Having reliable, automated payroll payments in place is critical. By deploying Modulr’s payments automation directly into HiBob’s payroll workflow, HiBob customers will now gain access to a single, reliable process that improves operational efficiency, accuracy, and control from approval through to pay day.

Once payroll has been approved in HiBob, salary and HMRC payments are executed through Modulr’s payments automation platform, giving companies confidence that their payments will be sent correctly and ensuring that employees get paid on time.

Speaking on today’s announcement, Melek Pirgon, Chief Product Officer at Modulr, said: “Partnering with HiBob allows us to bring payments automation into a critical workflow for finance and payroll teams, reducing friction and increasing accuracy and reliability. This partnership reflects our focus on solving high-impact payment challenges for scaling businesses”.

Bobby Chadha, Senior Product Director at HiBob stated “Pay day is one of those make-or-break moments for employer-employee trust, so having the right payments infrastructure in place that ensures seamless payroll experiences should be non-negotiable.

Our partnership with Modulr brings a true end-to-end HR, payroll and finance experience to our customers, that is easy to use and build on as they scale. Customers shared that they are spending significantly less time on pay day tasks, while more employees are paid accurately and on time.”
