Case Study: Rippling achieves real-time compliance control and audit readiness with Unit21

Rippling scales global compliance for 20,000+ customers with Unit21

Rippling, a global fintech company providing payroll and HR tech, faced significant compliance challenges as it expanded its product offerings and geographic footprint. Its legacy, SQL-based system was inflexible and required engineering support for simple changes, creating fragmented workflows and increasing regulatory risk. The company needed a unified solution to manage its multi-entity, global operation, especially with the launch of new banking products that required real-time transaction monitoring capabilities from Unit21.

Unit21 implemented a unified platform featuring real-time monitoring to block suspicious transactions within seconds, dynamic customer risk scoring to prioritize investigations, and tailored multi-entity workspaces for different regions. This solution consolidated Rippling's alerts, investigations, and filings into a single system, eliminating duplicate work and providing full visibility. The results included successfully passing a multi-state regulatory exam with strong feedback and establishing a scalable, audit-ready compliance foundation to support global growth.
