Pebl Expert EOR Review [2026]
Pebl, formerly know as Velocity Global, is one of the legacy global EORs and has been around since 2017.
Overview: Pebl at a Glance
Velocity Global is now called Pebl and one of the veterans of the Employer of Record (EOR) industry. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the company became known for its global compliance network, strong HR support, and wide international coverage. Nowadays, Pebl supports hiring in over 100 countries (though the advertise 185 countries), offering EOR, global contractor management, and payroll solutions for distributed teams.
The platform is primarily used by mid-market and enterprise clients that need a risk-averse, service-heavy global hiring partner rather than a tech-first automation platform.
We also went through their entire sales cycle and saw that their supposed US$ 399 per month per employee on their website was not accurate for most countries and additional fees beyond apply. They are eager to close though, and are offering great migration credits. During our experience, response times were slow, and when communication did happen, the sales focus leaned heavily on criticising competitors rather than presenting their own strengths.

EOR Pricing Overview of Pebl
While Pebl does not publicly list all prices, our Employsome EOR experts at have reached out to Pebl and have been able to obtain their pricing:
Security Deposit. 10%-30% of the gross annual salary as fully-refundable deposit at the beginning of the contract based on the credit score.
Setup fee. US$0
Monthly EOR base fee. US$660 per employee per month.
Pebl offers a reduced fee of US$599 if one commits for one year. If the employee leaves the company for any reason, as long as the company replaces this role, there is no additional payment on top of that. If the employee leaves after 8 months with the annual subscription model, the monthly fee for the remaining months has to be paid (US$599) unless the company replaces this role with another candidate.
Transfer credits when moving from another EOR. It’s worth noting that Pebl offers 3 months free EOR when moving over from another EOR. That’s a pretty good deal and aimed at taking market share.
Foreign transaction and processing fee. 3% to the previous dayโs spot rate as provided by Xignite.
Pebl stated that “this fee accounts for administrative and processing costs, exchange fees charged to Pebl, and currency risk carried by Pebl between the date funds are paid by the Company and the date those funds are paid to the Employee”.
Info: Pebl is not going to charge the FX fee where the invoice currency and the salary currency are the same. As such, we advice you to make sure you wire the funds to Pebl in the employee’s currency and use a more competitive banking service such as Wise for to manage the conversion rate.
Late payment fee. 1.5% interest p.a. on the unpaid amount.
Off-cycle payment fee. Subject to change according to the country, but usually at US$199.
Payroll cut-off date. 10th of each month. Pebl allows you to make any changes until the 10th and then they generate the invoice on the 20th of each month payable within 7 days.
Overall, it’s fair to say that Pebl/Velocity Global generally sits in the higher pricing tier compared to Deel, Oyster HR, or Remote because they provide more manual HR support.

Pebl Country Coverage: Owned Entities vs Partner Network
Pebl’s Strength & Weaknesses
Pebl is built around strict legal and regulatory standards, making it a safe choice for companies hiring in countries with complex labor laws. Their internal processes and automatically generated contracts all prioritise staying fully compliant, which reduces misclassification and payroll errors.
With a decade in the global employment market, the provider has seen most edge cases and built processes around real-world scenarios. Their experience translates into stronger local expertise, more stable operations and better support for complex hiring situations.
Beyond core EOR services, they offer visa, mobility, and recruitment assistance. This is valuable for companies looking to relocate talent, hire internationally at speed, or source candidates in new regions all through one centralised provider.
Companies switching from another EOR or payroll provider to Pebl receive financial incentives to help cover the costs of transition. This lowers barriers for teams considering migration and encourages a smooth onboarding onto the platform.
While some countries onboard quickly, others can take significantly longer due to strict local regulations or administrative bottlenecks. This inconsistency means timelines can vary widely depending on where you hire. When we requested onboarding times for some France and Italy, we were told a 14 days onboarding period.
The FX markup used for payroll, payments, or reimbursements can be noticeably higher than market mid-rate. Most other EOR providers add a 2% FX rates markup and Pebl actually 4%. If your employee or contractor gets a US$ 10,000 monthly salary this will result in US$ 400 of monthly costs a lot. This adds up – especially for larger teams that operate in multiple currencies.
Pricing is not fully broken down publicly, and many costs such as add-ons, taxes, benefits, and FX fees become clear only after a contract or sales call. This makes it difficult to forecast the true total cost compared to providers with more open pricing structures.
