Toku Stablecoin Payroll lets companies pay employees and contractors in stablecoins: digital dollars that settle the same day across 100+ countries, with no FX markup. Pay arrives intact, and it can opt into earning yield while it sits. It is built for global teams that want dollars, not crypto to manage.

What Is Toku Stablecoin Payroll?

Most global payroll still runs on the slowest part of the financial system: the cross-border wire. The money takes days to arrive, a percentage disappears into currency conversion, and a contractor in a different time zone waits a week to see what they earned.

We built Toku Stablecoin Payroll to replace that. You pay your team in stablecoins, digital dollars that hold a value of one US dollar, and the payment lands the same day. The recipient gets dollars they can spend or convert, without a volatile asset or a new system to learn. For the people you pay, it feels like being paid in dollars, because it is.

That is the whole idea: digital dollars your team can actually use.

How Does the Pay Work?

You fund payroll, and Toku pays your team in any stablecoin across 100+ countries. Payments settle on any network, which means they confirm in seconds to minutes, any day of the week, with no banking-hours constraint.

The cost structure is what makes it land intact. There is no FX markup and no per-seat fee, so the dollar you send is the dollar your worker receives. Compare that to a cross-border wire, where 2% to 4% routinely disappears into the exchange rate before the money arrives. For a distributed team, that gap is the difference between a contractor keeping their full rate and quietly losing a slice of it every month.

The team does not need a crypto wallet to make this work. A recipient can hold their digital dollars or convert to local currency through an off-ramp. Same-day, full amount, anywhere they are.

How Does the Yield Work?

Payroll float usually sits idle. The money you have set aside to pay your team earns nothing while it waits in a corporate account.

With Toku, that float does not have to sit idle. Yield is opt-in: you choose whether your stablecoins earn while they wait, and the feature is powered by Paxos Labs. Your funds never leave your control at any point. If you turn it on, the dollars you are holding for payroll can work until the moment they are disbursed. If you leave it off, nothing changes about how you pay.

It is a setting you turn on or off. You decide.

What About the Rain Card?

Separately, your stablecoin balance powers a Rain Visa card, accepted wherever Visa is accepted. The balance is the funding source for the card; spending works the way any Visa card works, at the point of sale, without a separate top-up step.

Who Is It Built For?

Toku Stablecoin Payroll is built for global teams that want dollars, not crypto to manage: remote-first tech companies, digital agencies, and AI-first startups paying employees and contractors across borders. If you are running payroll into 100+ countries and watching fees and settlement delays eat into what your team actually receives, this is built for you.

It runs on infrastructure with named partners: Polygon for settlement, Paxos Labs for yield, and Rain for the Visa card. Global teams deserve better payroll. This is it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is stablecoin payroll?

Stablecoin payroll is paying your team in stablecoins, digital dollars that hold a value of one US dollar, instead of routing money through cross-border wires. The recipient gets dollars that settle the same day. With Toku, payments run across 100+ countries with no FX markup, so the full amount reaches the worker.

How fast do payments settle?

Same day, usually within seconds to minutes of being sent, any day of the week. Payments settle on any network, so there is no banking-hours constraint and no multi-day correspondent banking cycle. This is the biggest practical difference from a traditional wire.

Which countries does Toku Stablecoin Payroll support?

Toku pays teams across 100+ countries. Because payment is in digital dollars rather than through local banking rails, a recipient can be paid the same way regardless of where they are, then hold their dollars or convert to local currency on their side.

Do my team members need to manage crypto or hold a wallet?

No. The product is built for teams that want digital dollars without crypto to manage. Recipients are paid in digital dollars and can convert to local currency through an off-ramp; they do not need to understand the underlying network to get paid in full, the same day.

Is the yield guaranteed?

No. Yield is opt-in and variable, it is not guaranteed, and it is powered by Paxos Labs. Your funds never leave your control. Yield is a setting you can turn on or off; it does not change how payments themselves work.

What network do payments settle on?

Payments settle on any network, which gives same-day, low-cost settlement without banking-hours limits.
