Discover contractor payout coverage in every country

Once we receive your funds from you, we process contractor payments the same day. Most 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 payments to contractors until we have received your payment. Please note that some payments may 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. For payments made via Wise, Remote provides an FX rate guarantee period to make sure contractors receive the full invoiced amount in their local currency.

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

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

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

Yes – a contractor can choose the currency for their invoice; this depends on the currency of their withdrawal method or on 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 has not been initiated within 7 days of invoice approval, please confirm with your employer whether they have remitted the 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 set your invoice amount either in your local withdrawal currency or in 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 via Wise, Remote guarantees that you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and shields you from currency fluctuations.

For payments made via SWIFT ("wire" payments), our payment partners may deduct a small fee from your payment ($5–$15 depending on the bank). Additionally, your local bank may apply further charges. Please consult your bank for details.

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