Faqs for employers
We send payments to contractors on the same day we receive your funds. Most 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 on your dashboard.
Remote cannot process payments to your contractors until we have received your payment. Please note some transfers may take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.
After receiving your payment, we collaborate with our payments partners to 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 and your contractor are in the same country and transact in the same currency (for example, both in the US using USD), there are no fees.
When currency conversion is needed, contractors can invoice in their own currency to receive a fixed amount—meaning exchange and payment fees are absorbed in Remote’s conversion rate—or they can invoice a fixed billed amount and cover the fees themselves. Companies and contractors should agree directly on which option suits them best.
We do not add charges for direct debits or bank transfers; however, we apply a surcharge 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 processing your payment. If your payout hasn’t started within 7 days of invoice approval, please check with your employer to confirm they have sent the funds to Remote.
If the funds do not arrive 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 this choice, Remote will convert the funds received 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 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–$15 depending on the bank). In addition, your local bank may impose extra charges. Please check with your bank for further details.
Remote does not apply extra fees for same-currency payments processed through local payment networks.
