Strada partners with Navro to integrate global payroll payments

Strada has entered into a strategic partnership with London-based payments technology provider Navro to integrate global payroll payments into its workforce management platform.

The agreement will allow organisations to manage payroll calculation, compliance and payments through a single system, covering employee salaries, statutory payments and third-party disbursements across 95 countries.

Strada said the move addresses longstanding operational challenges within global payroll, where payment execution has traditionally remained fragmented across multiple providers and systems. The company processes $1.4 trillion in annual payroll for more than 11 million employees globally.

Under the partnership, Navro’s payments infrastructure will be embedded directly into Strada’s platform, enabling businesses to automate payment workflows while improving visibility, reporting and compliance management across multiple jurisdictions.

The companies said the integration is designed to reduce operational complexity and risk by removing manual intervention, fragmented payment processes and multiple provider relationships.

Colin Brennan, chief executive at Strada, said: “Payroll is not complete until people are paid and taxes are remitted. For many organisations, this final stage remains the most complex and fragmented, involving multiple currencies, payment methods, and local bank accounts.

“By partnering with Navro, we extend our payroll services into payments, acting as a flexible extension of our clients’ payroll, Treasury, and Finance teams by automating the manual work created by country specific files, reporting, and local legislative requirements.

“This enables our customers to manage payroll through a single provider and ensures the process runs end to end, from payroll calculation through to confirmed payment, at global scale.”

Aran Brown, chief executive at Navro, said: “Ensuring that people get paid on the day they expect is arguably one of the most important transactions a business can take care of.

“We take very seriously the great responsibility that comes with working with Strada in ensuring salary payments happen seamlessly for millions of people working for some of the biggest businesses in the world.”
