Remote.com determines the payment route from the bank details you provide. Adding your Elevate Pay account as a US bank deposit method allows eligible payments to be sent in USD through ACH instead of an international wire.

How Do Remote.com Payments Work?

Remote.com uses the payment details saved in your profile to determine how a payment is sent. When the platform accepts US bank details, your account can be used for an ACH payment.

Remote.com Payment Methods for Contractors and Employees

• US bank deposit: Provide the ACH routing number and account number shown in the app so USD payments can arrive through ACH.

• Local bank payout: Receive the payment in your home currency after conversion.

• International USD wire: Receive dollars in a foreign-currency account at a local bank, with possible SWIFT and correspondent-bank fees.

• The options available in your profile can depend on your contract type, employer setup, and country.

Using Elevate Pay as a US Bank Account

When Remote.com asks for the bank country, select United States because we provide US bank details. This allows payments to be sent through ACH.

A domestic ACH transfer avoids the intermediary-bank deductions that can reduce an international wire by $15 to $50 before it reaches you.

ACH Versus International Wire on Remote.com

ACH uses an ACH routing number and account number and is designed for domestic US payments. It is generally lower cost and simpler for the sender.

An international wire uses SWIFT and may pass through one or more correspondent banks. Additional deductions can apply before the money reaches your account.
