Proudly developed in Panama City.
nominaHQ is Panama's payroll platform — not adapted foreign software. It's built by P4 Software, a Panamanian company that's been making business software for over 15 years from Latin America's financial center.
The bridge of the world — and the ideal home for your payroll.
Panama is Latin America's financial and logistics hub: a stable dollar economy, connected to the planet. Building here means understanding Panama payroll from the ground up.
LATAM financial center
120+ international banks and regional HQ to hundreds of multinationals.
Stable, dollar economy
nominaHQ always computes and pays in USD — no conversions, no surprises.
Local tax expertise
CSS, SIPE, ISR, education tax and Ley 462 — we know the DGI and CSS first-hand.
Local team & timezone

We know payroll because we live it.
Pay payroll by ACH, with Panama's banks.
nominaHQ generates the ACH disbursement file ready to upload to your online banking — with formats prepared for the country's leading banks:
