FAQs for employers
We process payments to contractors on the day we receive funds from you. Most payments reach the contractor’s bank account within 2 days of Remote receiving your invoice payment. You can also view the timeline for each invoice payment on your dashboard.
Remote cannot process payments to your contractors 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 the funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments processed through Wise, Remote provides an FX rate guarantee period to make sure your contractors receive the full invoiced amount in their local currency.
If you pay 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 can invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount — this means exchange and payment fees are included within our Remote conversion rate — or they can bill a fixed amount and pay the fees themselves. Companies and contractors should agree directly which option suits them best.
We do not add charges for direct debits or bank transfers; however, we apply a surcharge to card payments to cover card interchange costs.
Yes — a contractor can choose which currency to invoice in; this depends on their withdrawal method currency or the billing currency you have set for your company on Remote.
FAQs for contractors
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 set your invoice amount in either your local withdrawal currency or 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 through Wise, Remote guarantees that you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and shields you from currency fluctuations.
For payments sent via SWIFT ("wire" payments), our payment partners may deduct a small fee from your payment ($5–$15 depending on the bank). Your local bank may also apply charges; please consult your bank for details.
Remote does not charge extra fees for same-currency payments made via local payment networks.
