The project is the financial unit. Petl treats it that way.
Most payment tools are built around individuals or invoices. Petl is built around the project, so every hour logged, every contributor involved, and every payment made is connected in one place. No spreadsheets reconciling what went where. No chasing who's been paid.

PAYMENT ORCHESTRATION FOR PROJECT TEAMS
We killed the admin between finishing the work and getting paid.
Most tools stop at the invoice or the transaction. Petl connects both - so when the work is done and the client pays, every contractor, subcontractor, and freelancer involved gets settled automatically. No manual splits. No payment runs. No reconciliation headache at the end of the month.
Pay anyone, anywhere, however works for them.
Bank transfer, open banking, or stablecoin wallet - Petl routes the payment the right way automatically. Instant bank-to-bank across the UK and EU. Local rails into South Africa and LatAm. USDC for cross-border settlement without the SWIFT delays and fees. Your contractors get paid fast. You don't have to think about how.
Compliance built in. Not bolted on.
Every payment through Petl runs on regulated infrastructure - KYC and KYB verified, with a full audit trail at the project level. CIS deduction, MTD-ready reporting, and cross-border compliance handled automatically (coming soon). You stay clean without having to think about it.
Work changed. Payments should too.
Projects are won and lost, teams spin up and wrap up, and no two jobs involve the same people. Petl is built for exactly that - a payment workflow that flexes with your team, not one that assumes everyone's on the same payroll.
Know exactly where every project stands, financially.
Every invoice raised, every payment received, every contractor settled - tracked at the project level in one place. No end-of-month reconciliation. No digging through bank statements. Just a clean record of what happened, ready when you need it.
