Discover contractor payout coverage across every country

We process contractor payments on the same day we receive your funds. In most cases, contractors see the money in their bank accounts within 2 days after Remote receives your invoice payment. You can also view each invoice’s payment timeline on your dashboard.

Remote can’t send payments to your contractors until we’ve received your funds. Please be aware that some payments may take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.

After receiving your payment, we work with our payments partners to convert the funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments handled through Wise, Remote provides an FX rate guarantee period to ensure your contractors receive the full invoiced amount in their local currency.

If you pay your contractors locally (for example, you’re both located in the US and transact in USD), there are no fees.

When currency conversion is needed, contractors can invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount — in that case the exchange and payment fees are included in Remote’s conversion rate — or they can invoice for a fixed billed amount, which means they cover the fees. Companies and contractors can agree directly on which option suits them best.

We don’t charge extra for direct debits or bank transfers; however, a surcharge applies to card payments to cover card interchange fees.

Yes — a contractor can choose which currency to bill in; this depends on their withdrawal method’s currency or the billing currency you have set for your company on Remote.

Remote must receive funds from your employer before we can process your payment. If your payout hasn’t started within 7 days of invoice approval, please check with your employer to confirm they’ve sent funds to Remote.

If you don’t receive the funds by 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. Based on that choice, Remote will convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments routed through Wise, Remote guarantees you’ll receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and protects you from currency fluctuations.

For payments processed 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 your bank for details.

Remote doesn’t charge extra for same-currency payments made through local payment networks.
