Today marks the biggest product launch in Rise history.

We've spent the past several months rebuilding the platform from the ground up to create a faster, more flexible, and more powerful experience for businesses managing global teams.

The result is Rise V2.

This release expands Rise beyond contractor payments and introduces new ways for companies to hire, pay, and manage talent across the world—all from a single platform.

Whether you're paying contractors, onboarding full-time employees, managing payroll across multiple countries, or moving funds internationally, Rise V2 gives you more flexibility and control than ever before.

What's New in Rise V2

Employer of Record (EOR)

Companies can now hire full-time employees internationally without establishing local legal entities.

Rise Employer of Record handles employment compliance, payroll administration, benefits, and local labor requirements, allowing businesses to onboard talent in supported countries quickly and compliantly.

Direct Payroll

Run payroll directly from your Rise balance.

With Direct Payroll, companies can manage employee payroll without relying on multiple systems or external providers, creating a more streamlined payroll experience from funding to payment.

Daily Payroll

Payroll no longer has to be limited to traditional monthly or bi-weekly schedules.

Rise V2 introduces Daily Payroll, giving businesses greater flexibility in how and when they compensate their workforce while helping employees access earnings more frequently.

Expanded USDT Withdrawal Options

Rise now supports USDT withdrawals across significantly more blockchain networks.

Payees can withdraw funds using Solana, Tron, TON, and more than 10 additional supported networks, providing greater flexibility, lower fees, and more choice in how funds are received.

Rise Earn

Idle balances shouldn't sit unused.

Rise Earn allows eligible users to put funds to work and generate passive yield directly from their Rise account, helping businesses make better use of capital while maintaining operational flexibility.

Fiat-to-Fiat Swaps

Businesses operating globally often need to move between currencies quickly.

Rise V2 introduces fiat-to-fiat swaps, allowing users to convert between supported fiat balances directly within the platform at transparent quoted rates.
