Case Study: Rise accelerates global payroll with Circle USDC

Rise cuts cross-border payment speed delays by 95% with Circle

Circle helps Rise, a hybrid payroll platform, accelerate onchain payments for a global workforce. Rise faced challenges with traditional international payroll systems, which were slow, opaque, and costly due to wire transfer delays and high foreign exchange fees. To scale faster and improve transparency, Rise needed trusted digital dollar infrastructure and chose to integrate Circle's USDC.

By implementing Circle's USDC, Rise enabled near-instant settlement, significant cost efficiency, and greater global accessibility for payroll. This solution resulted in a 95% improvement in cross-border payment speed and a 40% reduction in processing costs. Over 53% of Rise's users now opt for stablecoin withdrawals, with USDC representing the majority of these crypto payments, helping Rise process over $800 million in total payroll volume.
