Stape is now Kleos. Same team, same prices, same platform you already rely on — a new name and a sharper promise. If you're an existing client, nothing changes in how you work with us: your contracts, your payouts and your point of contact all stay exactly where they are.
So why change at all? When we started, we thought we were selling payroll. Our clients kept telling us otherwise — that what we really do is take the back office off their plate so they can focus on the work that actually moves their business, and log off on a Friday knowing everyone got paid. "Stape" said payroll tool. That's not the whole story anymore, and we wanted a name that matches the job we actually do. To be clear: this isn't an acquisition, a pivot, or a sign that something went wrong — it's a deliberate step we've been building toward.
Kleos is a Greek word for the recognition you earn by doing great work — which is exactly what we want to free you up to do, while the payroll, contracts and compliance quietly disappear into the background. Everything you trust stays the same; what changes is a brand that finally says what we're for.
