Velocity Global is now Pebl

Velocity Global renamed itself Pebl. The old velocityglobal.com address now redirects to hellopebl.com, which says "Velocity Global is now Pebl", and the site footer reads Pebl (Velocity Global, LLC). The legal entity named there is still Velocity Global, LLC, so the company behind the brand appears unchanged. Check the entity name on your order form and invoices. Review profiles have not all caught up: G2 lists "Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)", while Trustpilot still files reviews under velocityglobal.com.

Pebl and Velocity Global pricing

At $399 per employee per month, Pebl lists $200 less than Deel or Remote and $300 less than Oyster. HR Stacks (updated Oct 1, 2026) describes the $399 figure as a promotional price; Pebl's pricing page, as read on October 16, 2026, shows it without an end date. Some countries are priced by quote, so confirm your country is at $399.

Pebl does not list prices for contractor payments or global payroll. For those, compare contractor payment platforms and global payroll providers that publish rates.

What Pebl costs for a real team

On 25 employees, Pebl's list price saves $60,000 a year against Deel ($179,700 minus $119,700). Here is one hire in Mexico, the same example we use in our Deel review, with official employer costs from our Mexico cost page:

That is $2,400 a year less than the same hire through Deel ($59,908 vs $57,508). The saving only holds if the hire lasts: see the 12-month term below. Compare more countries in the employer cost index.

Hidden costs and contract terms

A 12-month term for each worker

Pebl's EOR supplemental order terms give each worker on the Employee Term model a "Service Model Term" of twelve months. After that the worker converts to PayGo, which you can end on at least 30 days' notice. The page carries no date. If an employee quits or you let them go in month four, ask what you owe for the remaining eight months.

Deposit: "Initial Payroll Funding"

Pebl collects "Initial Payroll Funding" before each worker is onboarded, and its terms say "Payroll Funding may also be referred to as Deposit". No amount is stated. HR Stacks reports Pebl deposits of 10% to 30% of annual salary, a third-party figure we could not confirm. Pebl's help center says "The deposit refund process typically takes 45 days" (updated Jan 30, 2026). Pebl also asks for extra funding when a worker's variable pay tops $50,000 in a month.

FX

For contractors, Pebl applies "a currency conversion fee of 3%" when a contractor takes payment in a currency other than the contract currency. We found no FX terms for EOR.

Setup and offboarding

Pebl's pricing page FAQ lists the question about setup and offboarding fees, but our research could not open the answer. Ask for it in writing.

Entity model: about 90% owned

Pebl's homepage says: "With 90% of employees supported through Pebl-owned entities". That implies about 10% of employees sit with partner firms. Pebl does not say which countries those are. It is a useful number to have, as it is more specific than Oyster's "owned entities" and partners line, and less sweeping than Remote's or Multiplier's claims to own every entity. Ask whether your country is in the 90%. For the difference this makes, see how an employer of record works.

Countries and support

Pebl claims 185+ countries. For support, Pebl offers "Ask Pebl" guidance around the clock, which it says in-house staff back up, and support "from onboarding through offboarding". We found no promise of a dedicated account manager, which Multiplier and G-P make (Deel promises a dedicated onboarding manager for each new hire).

Reviews and complaints

Pebl holds 4.6 out of 5 from 608 reviews on G2. On Trustpilot, the merged Velocity Global profile has 3.2 from just 6 reviews, 67% of them one-star (both seen Oct 16, 2026). Six reviews is too few to judge. The ones there describe:

• High fees and currency loss: "The fees are very high" (Sep 17, 2025).
• Onboarding delays (Jul 8, 2025).
• Contract and leave disputes, including sick time not approved (Apr 8, 2025 and Dec 10, 2025).

Who Pebl fits, and the alternatives

Pebl fits a company making a few long-term hires abroad that wants the lowest list price from an established EOR and can live with a year's commitment per worker.

Look elsewhere for short or uncertain hires, or if you want a published deposit:

• Multiplier: $459 annual or $499 monthly, no minimum term, owned entities claimed.
• Oyster: $699, but no minimum term and a published one-month deposit.
• Deel: $599, month-to-month outside promo order forms.
• G-P: from $599, one rate in 180+ countries.
