In what countries are non-local currency salary payments offered?

In some countries, it's possible for a team member’s salary to be denominated in a non-local currency, such as USD or EUR — and in some cases, also paid in that currency.

This setup gives you more flexibility in managing compensation across markets with unstable local currencies or where employees request alignment with global benchmarks.

About the Foreign Currency Salary Fee

As of June 1, 2025, Remote will introduce a $50/month fee per employee for non-local or linked currency salary arrangements. This cost reflects the operational complexity and additional compliance work required to support non-standard payroll setups.

You’ll only be charged if you actively request this option for a specific team member in the allowed countries. It will be clearly itemised on your Reconciliation invoice.

Countries where this setup is available

Important to Note

• Denominated means the employee’s salary and agreement are in that currency.
• Paid in refers to the actual disbursement currency.
• Some countries require specific circumstances to be met in order to action the currency change.
• Additional requirements may apply based on the country and your employee’s specific case.

How to request this setup

If you want to set up a non-local currency salary for a new hire or existing team member, you can do this on the Remote platform (for a new team member) or through your Customer Success Manager.
