IRIS Software Group and Western Union Partner to serve Global Payroll & Payments Worldwide

IRIS Software Group, one of the UK's largest software companies, and Western Union Business Solutions, the payments arm of the Western Union Company (NYSE:WU), a global leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement and payments, today announced a five-year international partnership to offer simplified payroll and payments solutions worldwide.

This partnership will serve the growing demand for world class, cross-border payroll and currency payments for organizations with a global workforce. It allows in-house teams and specialist providers to deliver payrolls in large volumes, furthering employee peace of mind and happiness, wherever they are based.

Over the past year, the location of employees has become less important, but the complexity of different cultures and regulatory environments continues to limit access to global talent pools. Working together, Western Union and IRIS Software Group are seeking to eliminate these barriers for the benefit of all customer stakeholders, with payroll, finance, HR and operational teams now viewing payroll as the hidden gem to employee security and peace of mind, freeing them to focus on their own business.

IRIS FMP is a trusted partner in international payroll, benefits, payments and HR solutions; approximately 20% of the UK's workforce is paid by IRIS payroll offerings and 90% of the global workforce is covered by IRIS HR and payroll solutions. Western Union Business Solutions equips organisations with the solutions they need to send, receive and manage international payments across an extensive global network spanning 200 countries and territories.
