"Seamless migration and great support"

What do you like best about Oyster? The support team has been very good so far. The online platform is easy to use - even our Finance team likes it. What do you dislike about Oyster?

Great service from Oyster team

I find Oyster service simply great. All requests are managed in short time. Specific country taxes payment details were sorted out shortly and in a positive way.

Useful service, quality can improve

The service itself is very useful for hiring talent abroad. The organizational structure and attention to detail can improve.

We are not using Oyster currently, because ...

Oyster is a great platform which takes care of employees

Oyster is a great platform which takes care of the employees. They take initiatives to provide best service to both employee and employer. They went one step ahead and offered me the Tax reduction as per schemes provided by the govt.

"Easy to refund, easy to get paid"

What do you like best about Oyster? I like Oyster because I can get paid quickly once the invoices are approved. There are other intermediaries that can delay the payment for a couple of days for an international transfer.
