ABU DHABI, UAE, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RemotePass, an HR and fintech platform that helps companies onboard, manage, pay, and retain remote workers, has secured $5.5 million in Series A funding.

The round was led by 212 VC with participation from investors in the US, Europe, and the Middle East, including Endeavor Catalyst, Khwarizmi Ventures, Oraseya Capital, Flyer One Ventures, Access Bridge Ventures, A15, and Swiss Founders Fund.

"By addressing today's workforce challenges like talent mobility and remote work, RemotePass stands out as a key enabler," he says. "It connects companies seeking a broader talent pool with emerging market talents who previously lacked access to global financial solutions and processes."

It helps them onboard, manage, and pay their talent base in countries where they don't have a local legal presence.

"Our platform helps democratize access to global opportunities, leveling the playing field for skilled individuals and enabling them to compete in a global job marketplace," says Kamal Reggad, CEO and co-founder at RemotePass. "This funding fuels our mission to empower countless lives and help global teams succeed."

The RemotePass app offers access to a range of financial services and benefits tailored to the needs of remote workers, including multiple payout options, a USD debit card, as well as perks like health insurance. Apart from an end-to-end contractor management platform, RemotePass provides businesses with EoR services and relocation support.

"This oversubscribed funding round is a testament to the company's robust financials, strong team, and high growth potential," says Wamda Capital founder Fadi Ghandour. "What impressed us most at Wamda, and what confirmed our decision to back Reggad and his team since inception, is his entrepreneurial capability, which he demonstrated during the difficult days of the pandemic when he pivoted the company and subsequently built a great startup."
