Make compliance a core concern, not an afterthought
Deel has faced mounting public controversy, further calling its employment and compliance practices into question.
Most recently, Deel was accused in a lawsuit of violating anti-money laundering and international sanction regulations—a serious risk for any company relying on them as a global employment partner. This follows previous scrutiny in 2023 when U.S. lawmakers called for a federal investigation into their alleged misclassification of employees as independent contractors.
Would you trust a global partner whose compliance track record raises so many red flags?
At Remote, compliance is at the heart of everything we do. We operate fully in-house from day one, ensuring enterprise-grade data protection and robust compliance controls. Unlike Deel, we never rely on third parties to manage entities, and all security and compliance are handled 100% by our expert team.
Remote is also the only global HR platform to offer unlimited EOR indemnity coverage, providing complete peace of mind as you scale.
