FAQs for employers
We process payments to contractors on the same day we receive your funds. 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 before 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, we use our payments partners to convert funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments processed via Wise, Remote provides an FX rate guarantee period so your contractors receive the full invoiced amount in their local currency.
If you pay your contractors locally (for example, you and the contractor are both in the US and transact in USD), there are no fees.
When currency conversion is required, contractors can invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount — meaning exchange and payment fees are included within our Remote conversion rate — or they can invoice a fixed billed amount and cover the fees themselves. Companies and contractors can agree directly on which setup 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 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 hasn’t been started within 7 days of invoice approval, please check with your employer to confirm they have sent 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. Based on your choice, Remote will convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments processed via Wise, Remote guarantees 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 USD–$15 USD depending on the bank). Additionally, your local bank may charge fees. Please check with your bank for details.
Remote does not charge any extra fees for same-currency payments made through local payment networks.
