Pento

Pento was a European (UK/Danish) automated payroll platform that let companies run payroll, sync with accounting and HR tools, and pay employees in a few clicks; it was backed by Point Nine and Seedcamp. As of this enrichment pass the pento.io domain (HTTP 301) redirects to HiBob (www.hibob.com) and serves HiBob's HR-software marketing site with no remaining Pento branding, indicating Pento's payroll product has been folded into HiBob. There is no independent Pento developer program, API, or documentation surface to enrich; any live payroll API now lives under HiBob. This profile is retained as a network lead with its acquisition/redirect status recorded.

Pento is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Payroll, Human Resources, HR, and Fintech.
