Explore contractor payout coverage across every country

We process contractor payments 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 payment timeline for each invoice in your dashboard.

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

Once we receive your payment, we use our payments partners to convert the funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments handled 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, you and the contractor are both in the US and transact in USD), there are no fees.

If currency conversion is needed, contractors can invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount — meaning the exchange and payment fees are included in Remote’s conversion rate — or they can bill a fixed amount and pay the fees themselves. Companies and contractors can agree directly which option suits them best.

We don’t charge extra for direct debits or bank transfers; however, we add a surcharge to card payments to cover card interchange costs.

Yes — a contractor can choose the currency they are paid in. This depends on their withdrawal method’s currency or the billing currency you have set for your company on Remote.

Remote needs to receive funds from your employer before we can process your payment. If your payout hasn’t been initiated within 7 days of invoice approval, check with your employer to confirm they’ve sent the funds to Remote.

If you don’t receive the funds on the estimated date, please wait 1–2 business days before contacting Remote at [email protected].

You can choose to set the invoice amount in your local withdrawal currency or in your employer’s billing currency. Based 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 you’ll 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 USD depending on the bank). Additionally, your local bank may add further charges. Please check with your bank for details.

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