FAQs for employers
We send payments to contractors on the same day we receive your funds. Most payments reach the contractor’s bank account within 2 days of Remote receiving your invoice payment. You can view each invoice’s payment timeline on your dashboard.
Remote can’t process contractor payments until we receive your payment. Some payments may take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.
After we get your payment, we work with our payments partners to convert the funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments handled via Wise, Remote provides an FX rate guarantee period so your contractors receive the full invoiced amount in their local currency.
If you pay contractors locally (for example, if you are both in the US and transact in USD), there are no fees.
If currency conversion is necessary, contractors can invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount — meaning exchange and payment fees are covered by Remote’s conversion rate — or they can bill in a fixed charged amount and cover the fees themselves. Companies and contractors can decide which setup suits them.
We don’t charge for direct debits or bank transfers, but we do apply a surcharge to card payments to cover card interchange fees.
Yes — a contractor can choose which currency to invoice in; this depends on their withdrawal method’s currency or the billing currency you’ve set for your company on Remote.
FAQs for contractors
Remote must receive funds from your employer before processing your payment. If your payout hasn’t started within 7 days of the invoice being approved, please check with your employer to confirm they’ve sent the funds to Remote.
If the funds don’t arrive on the estimated date, wait 1–2 business days before contacting Remote at [email protected].
You can set your invoice amount in either your local withdrawal currency or your employer’s billing currency. Depending on your selection, Remote will convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments processed via Wise, Remote guarantees you’ll receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and shields you from currency fluctuations.
For payments sent via SWIFT ("wire" payments), our payment partners may charge a small fee that will be deducted from your payment ($5–$15 USD depending on the bank). Your local bank may also apply additional charges—check with them for details.
Remote doesn’t charge extra fees for same-currency payments made through local payment networks.
