View contractor payout coverage across every country

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

Remote cannot disburse payments to your contractors until we have received your payment. Please note that certain payments may take 2 – 5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.

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

If you pay your contractors in the same local currency (for example, both parties are in the US transacting in USD), no fees apply.

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 additional fees 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 for their invoice; this depends 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 confirm with your employer whether they have remitted funds to Remote.

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

You may set your invoice amount either in your local withdrawal currency or in your employer’s billing currency. Depending on this selection, Remote will automatically convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments processed via Wise, Remote guarantees that you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and shields you from currency 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.
