Discover contractor payout coverage across every country

We process payments to contractors on the same day we receive the funds from you. Most payments arrive at the contractor’s bank accounts within 2 days of Remote receiving your invoice payment. You can also access each invoice payment timeline on your dashboard.

Remote cannot process payments to your contractors until we have received your payment. Please be aware that some transfers may take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.

After we receive your payment, we coordinate with our payments partners to convert the funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For transfers routed through Wise, Remote provides an FX rate guarantee period so your contractors receive the full invoiced amount in their local currency.

If you pay contractors in the same local currency (for example, if you are both in the US and transact in USD), there are no fees.

If currency conversion is necessary, contractors can invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount, in which case the exchange and payment fees are included within Remote’s conversion rate. Alternatively, they may invoice a fixed billed amount and absorb the fees. Companies and contractors can agree directly which method suits them best.

We don’t add charges 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 invoice in. This depends on their withdrawal method’s currency or the billing currency set for your company on Remote.

Remote must receive funds from your employer before processing your payment. If your payout has not begun within 7 days of invoice approval, please confirm with your employer whether they have remitted the funds to Remote.

If the funds do not arrive on the estimated date, please allow 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 that selection, Remote will convert the funds it receives from your employer into your local withdrawal currency. For payments handled via Wise, Remote guarantees you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency, protecting you against exchange rate 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). Your local bank may also apply additional fees — please check with them for details.

Remote does not charge extra fees for same-currency payments sent through local payment networks.
