FAQs for employers
Upon receiving your funds, we process payments to contractors on the same day. In most cases, funds reach the contractor’s bank account within 2 days after Remote receives your invoice payment. For your convenience, each invoice payment timeline is also available on your dashboard.
Remote cannot initiate payments to your contractors until we have received your funds. Please note that certain payment methods may require 2-5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.
Once we receive your payment, we work with our payments partners to convert funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments processed via Wise, Remote offers an FX rate guarantee period, to ensure your contractors receive the full invoiced amount in their local currency.
If you pay your contractors locally (for example, if you are both located in the US and transact in USD), there are no fees.
When currency conversion applies, contractors may invoice in their local currency to receive a fixed amount — in which case exchange and payment fees are included within our Remote conversion rate — or they may invoice in a fixed billed amount and thereby bear the fees. Companies and contractors can agree directly on which option suits them best.
We do not add fees for direct debits or bank transfers; however, we apply a surcharge for card payments to cover card interchange costs.
Yes - a contractor can choose which currency to bill 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 allow 1-2 business days before contacting Remote at [email protected].
You have the option to set your desired invoice amount in your local withdrawal currency, or your employer’s billing currency. Depending on your choice, Remote will automatically convert the funds received from your employer to your local withdrawal currency. For payments processed via Wise, Remote will guarantee that you receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency and protect 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 extra fees for same-currency payments processed via local payment networks.
