FAQs for employers
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 each invoice’s payment timeline on your dashboard.
Remote cannot process contractor payments until we have received your funds. Please note that some transfers can take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.
After we receive your payment, our payments partners convert the funds into your contractor’s withdrawal currency. For payments handled via Wise, Remote provides an FX rate guarantee period to ensure contractors receive the full invoiced amount in their local currency.
If you pay contractors locally (for example, both parties are 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 — this includes exchange and payment fees in Remote’s conversion rate — or they can invoice a fixed billed amount, which means they cover the fees. Companies and contractors should agree which option suits them.
We do not charge for direct debits or bank transfers; however, a surcharge applies to card payments to cover card interchange costs.
Yes – a contractor can choose the currency to invoice in; this depends on their withdrawal 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 payment. If your payout has not started within 7 days of invoice approval, please confirm with your employer that they have remitted 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 your local withdrawal currency or in your employer’s billing currency. Depending on that selection, 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 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 levy further fees. Please check with your bank for details.
Remote does not apply extra fees for same-currency payments processed through local payment networks.
