Remitly is introducing PayTag, a simpler way to get paid around the world.

When someone asks, “How do I pay you?,” the answer should be simple. But when you need to move that money across borders, the answer can instead mean sharing bank account numbers, routing codes, personal information like address and phone numbers, and a lot of other details someone else has to get right.

With PayTag, you get your own tag, QR code, and pay page. So when someone asks how to pay you the answer is as easy as, “Here’s my PayTag”.

For all the creators, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and tour guides, there’s now a new way to get paid. For example, you could teach Spanish to students in the U.S., edit videos for a creator in London, or take friends on a taco tour in Mexico City. There are all kinds of reasons to get paid by people around the world, and now one global PayTag you can share.

You can text your PayTag to a student or client, or show your QR code to someone standing in front of you, all without having to exchange bank account information. They open your request, review the details, choose how they want to pay and complete the transfer. You choose where you want to receive the money.

Your customers, clients, and students can be anywhere. Getting paid by them should be one seamless experience.
