WorkPay, a Kenyan startup that provides a cloud-based workforce management system with human resource (HR) and payroll management for small businesses in Africa, has expanded to Nigeria which will act as the company’s hub for the West Africa region.
Prior to its entry into Nigeria, the firm was already serving Lagos-based FinTechs such as Flutterwave and Paystack with their Kenyan operations.
Using the Workpay platform, companies can now hire, run local payrolls, file taxes, manage compliance and pay salaries in more than 15 currencies across Africa.
In September last year, the company raised $2.1 Million from investors including Kepple Africa and Y Combinator. The company had previously secured $50,000 funding from Norwegian accelerator, Pangea Funds (2018), and $100,000 from Japanese-based VC firm, Kepple Africa (2019).
Further, Workpay is a graduate of Y Combinator and Google for Startups Africa and recently was selected among other 50 companies in Africa to receive equity-free funding and support from Google’s Black Founders Fund Africa.
Its partners include Equity, Safaricom, Y Combinator, Kepple Africa Ventures, Pangea, and Crediation.
