Is now a good time for businesses to integrate third-party payment services into HR workflows?
JustLogin and Convera have launched an integrated platform that connects human resource cloud management with cross-border payment execution. The service simplifies payroll for companies hiring across Southeast Asian markets by enabling direct payments in 16 currencies.
Why it matters
This integration reduces the administrative complexity of managing disparate payroll systems and fluctuating currencies for businesses operating in Southeast Asia. It addresses the growing need for unified payment workflows in a regional B2B market that continues to expand.
The regional B2B payments market reached USD 44.5 billion in 2024, with projections expecting growth to exceed USD 105 billion by 2033. The new integration supports payments across 16 currencies using government-backed rails like FAST, DuitNow, and InstaPay.
The players
Convera
A global business-to-business payments provider that manages cross-border transactions under the oversight of 60 international regulators.
JustLogin
A Singapore-based cloud platform that provides human resource management software for employers.
The details
The platform allows HR managers to initiate cross-border transactions directly from the JustLogin dashboard. Upon initiation, transaction data is transmitted to Convera for payment execution, which is overseen by 60 regulators worldwide. The system leverages local real-time payment rails including Singapore's FAST, Malaysia's DuitNow, and the Philippines' InstaPay to ensure funds are processed across borders.
Timeline
The regional B2B payments market size is recorded as of 2024.
The partnership was formally announced on September 21, 2026.
The regional B2B payments market is projected to reach its milestone in 2033.
Market Landscape
This integration follows a pattern set by the regional Southeast Asian B2B payments market expansion, which is seeing rapid digitalization of financial back-office operations. As payroll becomes increasingly cross-border, businesses are prioritizing platforms that consolidate HR data with localized payment infrastructure.
Businesses hiring across Southeast Asia should evaluate whether their current payroll systems handle currency conversion and local settlement rails natively to reduce transaction fees. Operators should compare this integrated approach against existing manual treasury processes to determine potential time and cost savings in international payroll administration.
The takeaway
The move signals a shift toward embedding financial infrastructure directly into HR workflows to eliminate friction in international hiring. Companies should monitor their current payroll overhead costs to identify if such integrated platforms offer more competitive execution than their existing banking partners.
