Pay your global team in real time
While Oyster supports global payroll, it can take days to initiate and fund transfers. Borderless AI processes payroll in under 5 days with no wallet pre-funding and pays employees in 100+ currencies using real-time payment rails. That means faster payouts for your team and more liquidity for your business.

More coverage, more control
Oyster operates in ~120 countries, primarily through local partners. Borderless AI covers 170+ countries and owns its legal entities. That gives you direct control over onboarding, faster time to hire, and confidence that compliance is never dependent on third parties.

Human support meets AI speed
Oyster offers quality support, but often routes questions through documentation or delayed tickets. With Borderless AI, every customer gets white-glove onboarding, 24/7 live support, and access to HRGPT, our proprietary AI agent that delivers real-time answers on compliance, tax, classification, and more.
