Papaya Global and Tasq.ai Partner to Bring Neobanking to the Global Workforce Powering Physical AI

Oct 15, 2026

Banco, Papaya Global’s payment solution for global workers, will give Tasq.ai’s distributed network of contributors financial tools designed for work across borders.

New York, United States, October 15, 2026 -- Papaya Global and Tasq.ai today announced a strategic partnership to support the growing global workforce behind Physical AI. Through the partnership, Tasq.ai will use Banco to strengthen the financial infrastructure available to its distributed network of experts and contributors.

As demand for Physical AI grows, companies need people around the world to collect, annotate, process and validate real-world data. Tasq.ai connects this work with a global network of contributors and experts. Banco adds a financial layer designed to make it easier for workers to receive and manage their earnings across borders.

With Banco, eligible Tasq.ai contributors can receive earnings, hold funds in U.S. dollars, use a payment card and withdraw funds to a bank account. The offering supports distributed work through real-time payments, mobile wallets for receiving funds, invoice and collection workflows, cards, and an AI concierge for invoice submission and validation.

As Tasq.ai expands its global expert network, Banco will provide an additional financial solution for contributors working across markets.

Under the partnership, Tasq.ai provides the data processing and management layer, while Banco helps contributors access and manage the money they earn. The companies share the view that as global work becomes more distributed and specialized, the people powering it need infrastructure built for cross-border participation.

“Behind every breakthrough in AI are people collecting data, applying expertise, validating results and making the technology better,” said Eynat Guez, CEO and co-founder of Papaya Global. “We saw early that this new generation of global work would need new financial infrastructure. Banco was built around that shift, giving people a better way to receive and manage what they earn globally. Together with Tasq.ai, we can support this workforce from the work itself all the way to getting paid.”

“The race in Physical AI will be won on data, and on the people who make that data reliable,” said Erez Moscovich, founder and president of Tasq.ai. “Demand is enormous and the bar keeps rising: data must be processed quickly, managed well and increasingly validated. Tasq.ai was built for that from day one. With Papaya Global, we can offer the Physical AI market and our customers an end-to-end solution, helping them deliver higher-quality data faster, while giving our expert network broader financial infrastructure and global reach.”

Why AI Confidence Is Not Validation

AI is already part of digital forensics and incident response work, with or without a policy in place to govern it. The issue is that these tools are growing more confident in their own output faster than practitioners are developing reliable ways to verify it. Without governance models and validation standards in place, that gap compounds and rarely stays contained to a workstation: an
