What Our Clients Say
Trusted by teams across the globe. Explore firsthand accounts of our customers’ experiences with our products and services.
Borderless is Affiniti's 24/7 back-office for our fast growing venture-backed FinTech business. The key differentiator with this platform is really around the "24/7 back-office" in my first sentence. When I need help with something, whether it's 6 AM or 11 PM, I can expect a response in less than 30 minutes. There isn't another HR platform that is as customer centric as Borderless. It feels as if Affiniti hired an HR representative in-house!
Borderless' user-friendly platform simplifies and streamlines the onboarding process for our company, accommodating up to ten new hires each month. This means that as our business expands and we bring on new team members, we can rely on Borderless to ensure a smooth onboarding experience for both our HR department and our newly hired employees. This not only saves us time but also sets a positive tone for our new team members' introduction to our organization.
Honestly, where do I start? Borderless is one of those companies that no matter how fast they've grown they've maintained that startup customer care. What really blew me away though is how hands on their CEO is. From intro calls, to employee onboarding check ins, Wilson made us feel like they were an extension of our team. I couldn't recommend them enough. If you're hiring employees and need EOR services, use Borderless, period.
When we were considering building out our global team, we had trouble navigating all the variables. How do we find talent and where? Once we find the talent, where do we go from there? It was clear from the start that Borderless was the right EOR platform to partner with but they also went above and beyond in guiding us on how to best build our global team. It's clear they have a culture of going the extra mile for their clients.
The product is not only user-friendly but constantly adapting to our needs, which is a rarity in the industry. When we asked for updates, they delivered within 24 hours, demonstrating their exceptional commitment to customer satisfaction. What truly sets them apart is their responsiveness to our requests for more care options, reflecting their unwavering dedication to client success. Borderless is not just a vendor; they're an essential extension of our HR team, and we value their service immensely.
Unlike many other solutions in the market, Borderless doesn’t ask for large deposit requirements when it comes to running payroll for our contractors and employees. This financial flexibility allows us to allocate resources where they are needed most without tying up capital unnecessarily. With Borderless, we can confidently manage our payroll while ensuring our workforce is compensated promptly and without financial strain on our organization.

Let's get down to business
Our Employer of Record solution starts at $579 per employee per month while our Contractor Management solution starts at $49 per contractor per month.
You’re right – many platforms claim to have unrivaled service. Here’s a scenario to pose to a potential partner: “If my contractor is on-the-go and has a question about their recently received payment and local taxes. What do they do?” A Borderless contractor can jump on their mobile, open their in-app chat and have their questions answered promptly by an agent in their time zone. At Borderless, we prioritize the customer - both business and talent.
Because ‘Your Business is Our Business’, and we understand that growing companies need to spend their money when and where they want. While others hold onto your deposits earning interest and fees, we rely on only the platform fee to sustain our business.
Like others, we’ve entered this space within the last 5 years, however we’ve struck a balance with innovative tech, compliance and best-in-class customer service. We’ve had no compliance investigations or labor law claims which gives our customers peace of mind.
