Freelancers and contractors working with international clients often face a fragmented and unpredictable payment experience. You might invoice through one tool, receive money through another, and manage withdrawals through a third – with no control over when funds will be paid, or at what exchange rate.
Today, Remitly introduces a new way for global workers to get paid — faster, more transparently, and on your terms. This means global workers can:
- Request payment from international clients in the Remitly app
- Get paid instantly¹ in USD and securely hold funds in a Remitly Wallet
- Withdraw funds to a local bank, mobile wallet, or cash pickup anytime, or when the exchange rate’s right for you
- Track payment status in real time – from requested to pending to complete
- Access 24/7 customer support in Spanish, Tagalog, and 16 more languages
- All with the same speed, transparency, and trust you expect from Remitly.
This experience is designed with global workers in mind, but it also simplifies the process for the clients who pay them. Businesses can:
- Pay international freelancers quickly and securely using a link – no banking details needed
- See exactly what they’re paying – no hidden fees, competitive rates, and no additional costs
- Get automatic receipts and real-time payment updates
Starting this month, global workers in select countries will be able to open a secure Remitly Wallet and start requesting payments. Payments can be received from clients in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., with more countries and currencies coming soon. To learn more, visit Remitly.com
¹Transfer speed is dependent on payment method, delivery method, transaction review and system availability of Remitly and our partners.
