Check contractor payout coverage across every country

We process payments to contractors on the same day we receive your funds. The majority of payments reach the contractor’s bank account within 2 days of Remote receiving your invoice payment. You can also view the payment timeline for each invoice on your dashboard.

Remote cannot process contractor payments before we have received your funds. Please be aware that some transfers can take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.

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

If currency conversion is necessary, contractors may invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount, in which case exchange and payment fees are included in Remote’s conversion rate, or they can invoice a fixed billed amount and absorb the fees themselves. Companies and contractors can agree directly which option suits them best.

If currency conversion is required, contractors have the choice to invoice in their currency to get a fixed amount, which means the exchange and payment fees are included within our Remote conversion rate, or they can opt to invoice in a fixed billed amount meaning they pay the fees. This can be arranged directly between companies and contractors on which arrangement is best for them.

We do not charge for direct debits or bank transfers, but we do levy a surcharge on card payments to cover card interchange costs.

Yes — a contractor can choose the currency in which they bill, depending on their withdrawal method’s currency or the billing currency you have configured 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 whether they have remitted funds to Remote.

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

You can choose to set your invoice amount in either your local withdrawal currency or your employer’s billing currency. Depending on that selection, Remote will automatically convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments handled through Wise, Remote guarantees that you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency, protecting you from exchange rate fluctuations.

For payments processed via SWIFT ("wire" payments), our payment partners may deduct a small amount from your payment ($5–$15 depending on the bank). Additionally, your local bank may charge further fees. Please check with your bank for details.

Remote does not charge extra fees for same-currency payments made through local payment networks.
