FAQs for employers
We process contractor payments on the same day the funds reach us from you. In most cases, payments appear in the contractor’s bank account within 2 days of Remote receiving your invoice payment. You can also view the timeline for every invoice payment on your dashboard.
Remote cannot process payments to your contractors until we have received your payment. Please note that some transfers can take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.
After we receive your payment, our payments partners convert the funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments processed through Wise, Remote provides an FX rate guarantee period to ensure 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 conversion is necessary, contractors can invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount — this includes exchange and payment fees within Remote’s conversion rate — or they can invoice a fixed billed amount and cover 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, a surcharge is applied to card payments to cover card interchange costs.
Yes — a contractor can choose the currency to invoice in, depending on the currency of their withdrawal method or the billing currency you have set for your company in 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 your 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 which you choose, Remote will automatically convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments processed through Wise, Remote guarantees you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and protects you from currency fluctuations.
For payments processed via SWIFT (wire payments), our payment partners may charge a small fee that will be deducted from your payment ($5–$15 depending on the bank). Additionally, your local bank may levy further charges. Please check with your bank for more details.
Remote does not charge extra fees for same-currency payments processed through local payment networks.
