  • Remote won't be making payments on behalf of the customers. Currently, we can only support customers who are willing to use our platform and who will allow their employees to do so, since the product is not ready for any other option. As we currently do not support integrations, the employees need to activate their profiles, enter incentives, and more on Remote.
