Creating a bank account on Wise (formerly Transferwise)

At Remote, we currently support contractor payouts in multiple currencies and countries. We understand it can be frustrating if your preferred currency is not on this list, but there is a temporary solution as we work towards supporting more currencies around the world.

This article will address how to create a bank account on Wise for a Remote supported country. It is not mandatory to use Wise but it can help when your bank account country isn’t supported.
