About us
Simplifying payroll,
empowering your business
At Paybar, we believe payroll should be seamless, secure and stress-free. Since 2014 we've been transforming payroll management for businesses across Africa.
Our story
Founded on precision
Paybar was founded in 2014 by Pieter Barnard, a leading payroll expert with more than 10,000 hours of consulting experience — managing payrolls for organizations ranging from startups to large, multi-country enterprises.
After witnessing countless businesses struggle with inefficient payroll systems, compliance risk and administrative overload, he built a service designed to absorb that burden completely.
