Discover contractor payout coverage in every country

We process contractor payments on the same day we receive your funds. In most cases, payments reach the contractor’s bank account within 2 days of Remote receiving your invoice payment. You can also view the timeline for each invoice payment on your dashboard.

Remote cannot process payments to contractors until we have received your funds. Bear in mind that some payments can take 2–5 days to reach Remote’s bank accounts.

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

If you pay contractors locally (for example, if both you and the contractor are located in the US and transact in USD), there are no fees.

When conversion is needed, contractors can invoice in their own currency to secure a fixed amount — in which case exchange and payment fees are covered by Remote’s conversion rate — or they can invoice a fixed billed amount and therefore bear the fees. Companies and contractors should agree directly which option suits them best.

We do not charge for direct debits or bank transfers; however, we add a surcharge for card payments to cover card interchange costs.

Yes — a contractor can choose which currency to receive funds in; this depends on their withdrawal method currency or the billing currency you have set for your company on Remote.

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

If you do not receive the funds by the estimated date, please allow 1–2 business days before contacting Remote at [email protected].

You can choose to set your invoice amount in your local withdrawal currency or in your employer’s billing currency. Remote will then convert the funds received from your employer into your local withdrawal currency as required. For payments processed via Wise, Remote guarantees that you will receive the full invoiced amount in your local currency, protecting 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 depending on the bank). Additionally, your local bank may levy further charges. Please check with your bank for details.

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