Discover contractor payout coverage across every country

We process contractor payments on the same day we receive funds from you. In most cases, payments reach the contractor’s bank account within 2 days of Remote receiving your invoice payment. You can also view each invoice payment timeline on your dashboard.

Remote cannot process contractor payments until we have received your payment. Please note that some payments take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.

After we receive your payment, we coordinate with our payments partners to convert funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments processed via Wise, Remote offers 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, if you are both in the US and transact in USD) there are no fees.

If currency conversion is necessary, contractors may invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount — meaning exchange and payment fees are covered within Remote’s conversion rate — or they can issue an invoice for a fixed billed amount and bear the fees themselves. Companies and contractors can agree directly which option suits them best.

We do not apply charges for direct debits or bank transfers; however, we add a surcharge for card payments to cover card interchange costs.

Yes - a contractor can choose which currency to invoice in; this is dependent on their withdrawal method currency or the billing currency that you have set for your company on Remote.

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

If you do not receive the funds on the estimated date, please wait for 1–2 business days before contacting Remote at [email protected].

You can choose to set your invoice amount in your local withdrawal currency or in your employer’s billing currency. Depending on that choice, Remote will automatically convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments processed via Wise, Remote will guarantee that you receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and protect you from currency fluctuations.

For payments processed via SWIFT (”wire” payments), our payment partners may charge a small amount that will be deducted from your payment ($5-$15 depending on the bank). Additionally, your local bank may charge additional fees. Please check with your bank for additional details.

Remote does not charge any additional fees for same currency payments facilitated via local payment networks.
