To bridge the gap between blockchain-based payroll and mainstream financial experiences, Zebec is integrating embedded wallet technology from Privy (a Stripe company) into its payroll SuperApp. The integration provides users with a frictionless, secure wallet experience within the Zebec app, using familiar login methods like email or SMS, while connecting Zebec's stablecoin payroll rails to broader payment networks.

A major hurdle for crypto-based financial apps is user onboarding and key management. By integrating Privy, Zebec allows users to create and manage wallets using a unified identity layer with familiar methods like email or SMS—eliminating the complexity of seed phrases. This aligns the crypto-native payroll experience with the compliance, authentication, and ease-of-use standards expected in traditional fintech, making it accessible to a broader audience.
The integration serves as a strategic bridge. Zebec's core offering is real-time, programmable payroll and disbursements using stablecoins. Privy's infrastructure, now part of Stripe, provides a secure pathway to connect these blockchain-based value flows with mainstream financial networks. This enhances the utility of funds received, allowing users to easily hold, convert, or spend via Zebec's Mastercard-powered cards for real-world purchases.
The upgraded SuperApp, currently in testing, aims to simplify global payroll operations. It automates recurring payroll, contractor payments, and cross-border vendor payouts. The programmable engine allows for streaming payments or scheduled disbursements. With Privy handling secure wallet infrastructure, businesses can adopt stablecoin-based payroll and faster cross-border payouts without overhauling their existing operations.
This partnership represents a significant step toward the practical integration of blockchain technology into everyday business finance. By combining Zebec's real-time settlement capabilities with Privy's user-friendly, compliant wallet infrastructure and its connection to the Stripe ecosystem, the solution lowers the barrier for enterprises to leverage the benefits of stablecoins—such as speed and cost reduction—for global payroll and disbursements, moving them closer to mainstream adoption.
