See contractor payout coverage across every country

Once we have received your funds, we process contractor payments the same day. In most cases, contractors' bank accounts receive funds within 2 days of Remote getting your invoice payment. You can view the timeline for every invoice payment on your dashboard.

Remote cannot process payments to your contractors before we receive your payment. Please note that some payments take 2–5 days to arrive at Remote’s bank accounts.

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

If you pay your contractors locally (for example, both parties are 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 bill a fixed amount and accept responsibility for the fees. Companies and contractors can agree directly which option suits them best.

We don’t add any costs for direct debits or bank transfers, however we do add a surcharge for card payments to cover card interchange costs.

Yes - a contractor can choose which currency to issue invoices in; this depends 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 confirm with your employer whether they have remitted funds to Remote.

If you do not receive the funds by the estimated date, please allow 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. Based on that selection, Remote will convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments handled by Wise, Remote guarantees you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and shields you from exchange rate 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.
