What is Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)?
Pebl is the new name of Velocity Global: the employer of record rebranded in September 2025. It covers 175 countries, was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, which makes it one of the longer-established names in this market.
Its EOR pricing page lists $399 per month per employee.
Our verdict is that Pebl suits mid-to-large companies hiring across several countries where compliance risk matters more than cost. It rates 4.6 on G2 from 623 reviews.
Pebl was founded in 2014 by Ben Wright as Velocity Global and employs through a mix of its own entities and local partners. Its AI assistant, Alfie, runs compliance checks and gives cost estimates.

How much does Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) cost?
Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) pricing starts from $399 per employee/month for employer of record, as listed on its own pricing page (checked November 8, 2026). That fee is the smallest part of what a team costs.

Another country produces a different total, because the statutory employer costs are set locally.

Not in this total: Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) also charges a refundable security deposit of Payroll Funding (Deposit) required per worker before onboarding; amount set per worker and communicated in advance of payroll, invoiced up front (sourced above).
Estimate only. Statutory rates are Germany employer contributions (2026 data) on gross salary; caps, benefits, 13th-month pay and provider quotes vary. Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)'s published fee is a starting price and the fee for Germany can be higher, so ask for that country's quote. Run your own numbers before budgeting.
Before you sign, ask Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) to confirm in writing
Undocumented fees only bind the provider once they are on paper. Where we have found a published figure it is named below; where we have not, ask for the number.
- The security deposit: Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) publishes Payroll Funding (Deposit) required per worker before onboarding; amount set per worker and communicated in advance. Confirm your quote matches it. source
- The FX markup: Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)'s customer terms (clause Currency) say: Invoices are in the Order Form currency; other amounts are converted on the invoice date at the prevailing spot rate from a reputable source. No FX margin is stated. source
- In writing: what offboarding or termination costs when an employee leaves. Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)'s own site describes it but gives no figure: "When you work with us, you get a clear picture of what global hiring will cost from onboarding through offboarding. No hidden foreign exchange fees. No surprise charges for “premium” compliance work. No extra bills for basic employment functions that should just be part of the service." source
- In writing: any one-time setup or onboarding fees per employee. We found no figure for it on the 3 pages of Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)'s own site we read on November 14, 2026. source
- The minimum term: Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)'s customer terms (clause 2. Services Summary: Employee Term) say: On the 12-month Employee Term model each worker has a 12-month term from the first month they are onboarded and a payroll invoice is processed. PayGo has no minimum and runs until terminated with at least 30 days' notice. source
Your order form can override the standard terms, so confirm each of these there.
What Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)’s customer terms say
Read from Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)’s own published terms, last updated October 2026. An order form you sign can change the standard terms, so check yours against this list.
| Term | What the terms say | Clause |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum term | On the 12-month Employee Term model each worker has a 12-month term from the first month they are onboarded and a payroll invoice is processed. PayGo has no minimum and runs until terminated with at least 30 days' notice. | 2. Services Summary: Employee Term |
| Renewal | After the 12-month Employee Term the worker converts automatically to month-to-month PayGo, not into another 12-month term. | 2. Services Summary: Employee Term |
| Ending the contract | The client must give at least 90 days' written notice to offboard any worker, starting the first day of the next month, and pays Pebl's fees through that period. Ending a worker before the end of a 12-month term makes the remaining EOR fees for that term due at once. | Offboardings & Termination: Notice Period |
| Payment terms | Unless the Order Form says otherwise, wire transfer invoices are due within 5 calendar days of receipt; direct debit invoices are collected within 2 business days. | Payment Type Terms: Wire Transfer |
| Late payment | Overdue undisputed invoices carry finance charges of 1.5% a month (or the legal maximum if lower), compounded monthly, and Pebl may suspend services or terminate workers. | Payment Terms: Late Payment |
| Deposit or reserve | A Payroll Funding payment (also called a Deposit) is required per worker before onboarding. It is security, not a prepayment, can be raised for salary changes or late payment, and is returned after the final invoice is paid. | Payment Terms: Payroll Funding |
| Currency conversion | Invoices are in the Order Form currency; other amounts are converted on the invoice date at the prevailing spot rate from a reputable source. No FX margin is stated. | Currency |
| Liability cap | Each party's total liability is capped at the invoice amounts paid or payable in the 12 months before the event, excluding the client's payment obligations and wilful misconduct, fraud or violation of law. | Limitation of Liability: Cap on Monetary Liability |
| IP created by your employees | Where a direct assignment from the worker to the client is safe locally it goes in the employment agreement; otherwise the IP vests in Pebl's local employer and Pebl assigns it to the client. | Additional Terms: Intellectual Property |
| How employment is set up locally | Pebl may use its own affiliates or subcontracted in-country partners (ICPs) as the local employer of record, names them on request, and stays fully responsible for them. No countries are named for either model. | Services Provided; Affiliates; Platform |
What this means for you
Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) publishes a starting fee, and the fee for a given country can be higher, so ask for that country's quote. What changes most country by country is everything around it: the $63,900 of statutory contributions for this team in Germany is set by Germany, not by Pebl (formerly Velocity Global), and you pay it whichever employer of record you choose. Compare providers on the fee and on what the fee includes, then run the total again for each country you hire in.

Country coverage
Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) states coverage in 175 countries. That is in the 100 to 179 band of our coverage rubric.
Compliance
Pebl says it employs through its own companies, and we confirmed three of them in public company registries. It does not list the employing company for each country, which keeps it below the top of our compliance rubric.
Customer support
Pebl offers 24/7 AI guidance backed by experts, but publishes no account manager or response times.
EOR service depth
Pebl sponsors visas and offers supplemental benefits, pensions and equity beyond the legal minimum. We found no equipment service on its site, so it has two of the three extras in our EOR service depth rubric.
Security
Pebl holds ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 certification and publishes both on its trust center. That is the top of our security rubric.
User experience
Pebl takes you from offer to onboarding in minutes, and user reviews praise the platform.
Analytics and reporting
Pebl offers reporting in the platform and a public API, but does not describe custom reports or forecasting.
Integrations
Pebl's integrations page lists HR systems (ADP, BambooHR, HiBob, Namely, Gusto), accounting (QuickBooks, Sage, MYOB, Expensify) and ERP (NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Sage Intacct), and Pebl publishes developer documentation for its API.
Provider stability
Pebl has operated since 2014 (as Velocity Global until 2025) and has disclosed about $500 million in funding. We found no action by a regulator against it in our search (October 2026). That makes it unlikely that the company employing your people disappears.

- Experience in global hiring - selecting and working with EOR providers
- A documented research method - provider documentation and pricing pages, review platforms (G2, Trustpilot, Capterra), communities, and provider validation
- The Employ Borderless Standard - our 10-pillar rating framework, scored out of 5 to one decimal across features, country coverage, pricing, UX, support, integrations, mobile, analytics, security, and compliance
- Weighted review analysis - platforms with more reviews have higher impact (e.g. 2000 > 30)
- Independent - rankings are not influenced by affiliate partnerships
Built by practitioners, not publishers - so you can rely on it for real hiring decisions.

What is the user experience of Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) like?
4.5 out of 5field average 4.4Pebl takes you from offer to onboarding in minutes, and user reviews praise the platform.
The platform is built around Alfie, their AI assistant, which handles compliance checks, contract reviews, and routine HR queries. For straightforward questions, you get an answer without waiting on a support ticket. For anything more complex, Alfie routes you to a human specialist.
Admin experience
Admins get real-time reporting across payroll, taxes, payments, and deductions for all countries in one dashboard. The interface covers what most teams need day to day without overloading the screen.
Core admin functions include:
Multi-country payroll with real-time reporting
Immigration and visa tracking
Benefits administration including international pension plans
Contractor-to-employee conversions
Employee experience
Workers access payslips and manage payments through ACH, wire transfers, and digital wallets via the employee portal. The portal covers the basics well. Some requests still route through HR rather than direct self-service, which is worth knowing if your employees expect a fully independent experience.
What this means for you: The platform handles complex hiring scenarios well, with AI support backed by human experts when needed. Teams that want to manage everything without involving account managers may find some workflows more hands-on than expected.
What does Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)’s platform look like?
How is the customer support at Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)?
4.0 out of 5field average 4.3Pebl offers 24/7 AI guidance backed by experts, but publishes no account manager or response times.
Pebl assigns a dedicated account manager to every client, with 24/7 coverage across time zones. For most support needs, you have a consistent point of contact who knows your account.
The Alfie AI assistant handles routine queries, compliance checks, and contract reviews. Straightforward questions get answered without opening a ticket. More complex issues route to human specialists.
Response times
Pebl doesn't publish specific response time commitments. The focus appears to be on getting the right answer rather than hitting a speed metric, which is a reasonable trade-off for complex compliance questions.
What this means for you: The support model works well for companies hiring across complex markets. Teams expecting a fully self-service experience may find the process more hands-on than they're used to, but for compliance-heavy scenarios, having a human in the loop is usually the right call.
What integrations does Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) offer?
4.8 out of 5field average 3.7Pebl's integrations page lists HR systems (ADP, BambooHR, HiBob, Namely, Gusto), accounting (QuickBooks, Sage, MYOB, Expensify) and ERP (NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Sage Intacct), and Pebl publishes developer documentation for its API.
Pebl connects with major HR and recruiting platforms including ADP, Oracle, Greenhouse, JazzHR, BambooHR, Workday, and HiBob. The list covers the tools most global hiring teams already use.
Data syncs both ways. Employee records, payroll changes, and compliance updates move between systems without manual entry.
On the recruiting side, Greenhouse and JazzHR connect directly to Pebl's onboarding workflow. Once a hire is confirmed, candidate data transfers automatically, cutting out the duplicate entry that slows down international onboarding.
What's missing
Pebl doesn't publish a broad integration marketplace. If your team relies on niche tools outside the main HR and payroll stack, you may need to lean on their API or work around gaps manually.
What this means for you: The integrations cover what most teams need. Companies with standard HR tech stacks will find the connections solid. Those running less common tools should verify compatibility before committing.
What analytics and reporting features does Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) include?
4.0 out of 5field average 4.1Pebl offers reporting in the platform and a public API, but does not describe custom reports or forecasting.

Workforce trends and headcount data
Live salary benchmarks with local compliance context
Alfie Reporting
In December 2025, Pebl expanded its Alfie AI assistant to include natural-language reporting. Teams can ask questions like "show me bonus distributions over the past quarter" and get answers pulled directly from payroll and employment data.
What this means for you: The core reporting covers what most finance teams need to manage costs across markets. Teams that rely on advanced self-service analytics or custom dashboards should test the platform or get a demo before committing.
How secure is Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)?
4.8 out of 5field average 4.0Pebl holds ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 certification and publishes both on its trust center. That is the top of our security rubric.
EOR providers handle payroll data, tax records, and personal employee details across multiple countries at once. The security bar is high, and the compliance layer is more involved than most SaaS products because privacy laws differ sharply by market.
Certification
Pebl holds ISO 27001 certification, the internationally recognized standard for information security management. They maintain local legal teams in each operating market, which covers both employment law and jurisdiction-specific data protection requirements like GDPR and CCPA.
Multi-jurisdictional compliance
Pebl handles multiple markets through:
Real-time monitoring for regulatory changes across 175 countries
Local legal teams handling jurisdiction-specific data requirements
Automated alerts when regulatory changes affect data handling
24/7 support model that extends to security incident response
What this means for you: ISO 27001 certification sets a solid baseline. The local legal team model adds a layer of jurisdiction-specific oversight that matters in markets where data protection rules diverge sharply from global standards. Teams operating across Europe, Latin America, or Southeast Asia should verify specific data residency requirements during the sales process, as requirements vary by country.
What compliance standards does Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) meet?
4.0 out of 5field average 3.6Pebl says it employs through its own companies, and we confirmed three of them in public company registries. It does not list the employing company for each country, which keeps it below the top of our compliance rubric.
Compliance is where Pebl has built its reputation, and the platform reflects that focus. With 65 owned entities across 175 countries and local legal teams in each market, the coverage runs deeper than most EOR providers.
How the compliance layer works
Real-time monitoring for regulatory changes across 175 countries
Automated document generation that meets local legal requirements
Advance alerts for regulatory changes affecting your workforce
Local legal teams providing jurisdiction-specific expertise
Immigration and visa tracking, including work permit expiration dates
During my evaluation, their specialists handled complex visa applications that would have taken our internal team weeks to handle.
Alfie's role
The Alfie AI assistant flags potential compliance issues during onboarding and surfaces region-specific requirements in real time. It draws on input from 200+ legal and hiring experts across Pebl's global network, so the guidance reflects local law rather than a generalized ruleset.
What this means for you: Companies operating across multiple markets get compliance coverage without building internal legal expertise in each country. The combination of AI-flagged issues and local legal teams is designed to catch problems before they become violations, which matters most in markets with complex or frequently changing employment law.

If the two are far apart, that is your question for the sales call.
How does Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) compare with its competitors?
Fees are each provider's own published starting price and the scores are ours, both at our last check. A cheaper provider is not automatically the right one for you, so read the last column before the price column. The providers we would send you to come first.

A dash in the last column means we have not assessed that provider against these seven situations yet, not that we rejected it. G2 ratings carry their review count, because a 5.0 from a few dozen reviews and a 4.7 from several thousand are not the same evidence. Country counts are the ones we have verified, so a provider built for one region shows a low number by design rather than as a weakness.
