See where contractor payouts are supported around the world

We initiate contractor payments on the same day we receive your funds. For most transactions, contractors receive funds in their bank accounts within 2 days after Remote gets payment of your invoice. You can view the payment timeline for each invoice on your dashboard.

Remote is unable to send payments to your contractors until we have received your payment. Please note some transfers can take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.

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

If you pay contractors in the same local currency (for example, if both parties are in the US and transact in USD), no fees apply.

When currency conversion is required, contractors can invoice in their own currency to secure a fixed amount, which means exchange and payment fees are covered within our Remote conversion rate, or they can bill a fixed amount and cover the fees themselves. Companies and contractors can arrange directly which option works best.

We do not charge for direct debits or bank transfers; however, card payments carry a surcharge to offset card interchange fees.

Yes — a contractor can select the currency for their invoice; this depends on their withdrawal method’s currency or the billing currency you’ve configured for your company on Remote.

Remote must receive payment from your employer before we can process your payout. If your payment has not been started within 7 days of invoice approval, please confirm with your employer whether they have transmitted funds to Remote.

If you do not receive the funds on the estimated date, please allow 1–2 business days before reaching out to Remote at [email protected].

You can choose to set the invoice amount either in your local withdrawal currency or in your employer’s billing currency. Based on that selection, Remote will convert the funds it receives from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments routed through Wise, Remote guarantees that you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and shields you from currency swings.

For payments processed through SWIFT (”wire” payments), our payment partners may deduct a small fee from your payment ($5–$15 USD depending on the bank). Your local bank may also apply additional charges. Please consult your bank for further details.

Remote does not add extra fees for payments in the same currency that are made through local payment networks.
