Deel has acquired Safeguard Global’s payroll division, strengthening its global payroll capabilities by integrating Safeguard’s enterprise expertise with Deel’s tech-driven HR infrastructure. This acquisition enhances Deel’s ability to manage large-scale payroll projects, deepens its partnership with Workday, and expands service offerings for enterprise clients. Safeguard’s payroll customers will benefit from Deel’s global presence, advanced payroll engines, and extended HR solutions, ensuring greater efficiency and seamless payroll processing. This move positions Deel as the strongest global payroll provider in the market.



Acquisition combines Deel’s tech and infrastructure with Safeguard’s enterprise global payroll knowledge and delivery expertise.

Safeguard Global’s payroll team joining Deel’s team of experts

Today Safeguard Global is one of the key providers of global payroll solutions. The company serves 140+ markets, processes more than 2.4M+ payslips per year, and boasts an 80+% first-time approval in each payroll cycle. They specialize in serving global customers including FICO, Hypertherm, and Jacobs.

Safeguard Global’s payroll team has hundreds of experts with decades of global payroll and compliance knowledge, particularly when working with enterprise businesses. The entire Safeguard Global payroll team will be joining Deel, combining their know-how and dedicated tools with Deel’s in-house HR, immigration and legal experts.

In-house experts are critical, particularly during complex projects where experience and knowledge of data migrations, integrations, upstream ERP solutions, and intricate payroll requirements can significantly cut down on wasted time and resources.

What this means for Deel customers

We’ll be bringing the team’s expertise in-house and combining it with Deel’s own expertise in payroll. This will significantly reinforce Deel’s ability to execute large global payroll projects seamlessly and effectively, an area where we are seeing huge growth and opportunity.

And since Safeguard is an innovation and service partner of Workday, this will deepen our existing partnership with Workday, allowing joint customers access to Workday’s functionalities alongside Deel’s streamlined payroll and HR offerings.

This acquisition means that no other provider will be able to offer a more robust global payroll solution.

What this means for Safeguard Global payroll customers

We’re excited to welcome Safeguard’s payroll customers to Deel. They’ll be able to benefit from Deel’s extensive direct global presence, owned infrastructure and native engines for greater efficiency, control, flexibility and faster payroll cycles.

These customers will also be able to add services from Deel’s product suite including immigration, contractor management, benefits, performance and equipment management and AI driven labor law insights. Plus they’ll get access to our renowned customer service, which offers an industry-leading response time available 24/7 365 days a year, and our customer success team.

Under an agreement with Safeguard Global, we’ll continue to support their existing and future international payroll customers with Deel’s technology and expertise.

The world of work, underpinned by global hiring, is changing quickly. We’re excited that this acquisition bolsters our in-house expertise while continuing to provide the best payroll and HR technology on the market.
