Kadmos is revolutionizing salary payments for migrant workers. Kadmos has developed a payroll platform for companies that employ migrant workers which allows them to distribute pay to e-wallet accounts controlled by the worker.

Kadmos uses cutting-edge financial technology to make the salary journey of millions of migrant workers more transparent, convenient, and cheaper for both employers and employees. Kadmos’ mission is to bring the latest financial technology to these underserved communities of workers to help them protect and secure their salaries so they are safely able to remit their pay home to their families.

Kadmos was founded in February 2021 by Justus Schmueser and Sasha Makarovych. The pair created Kadmos after a relative of Makarovych’s, who worked as a seafarer, told him of the complexity and hardship involved in getting paid.
