Pay contractors and staff abroad from your company account
If your company needs to pay individuals abroad, we set up the payout through an agent from our pool. This is a special case: we discuss countries, currency, documents and terms for your specific task before any documents are signed. We work only with companies and sole proprietors.
Where to start with payouts
Two questions, an answer right away
Contract and certificate
You need a service or work contract, a certificate of completed work and the recipient's details. We'll agree the country, currency and route before anything is signed.

One agency agreement and a payment order for each payout. If there is no lawful route to the country, we'll say so before anything is signed.
Discuss payoutsWho this is for
Russian companies and sole proprietors with contractors and employees abroad. The company pays, and an individual receives the money.
Contractors under an agreement
Developers, designers, translators and consultants who work with the company under a work contract or a service agreement.
Freelancers
One-off and regular payouts to contractors for work done, if there is an agreement and a completion certificate with them.
Employees abroad
People who work for the company from another country. Which payouts can be made and under which agreements, we work out before we start.
How a payout works
The process is the same as for company payments: an agent from our pool and terms fixed before your roubles are debited. The details depend on the task.
Review of the task
Whom you pay, to which countries and in which currencies, under which agreements, how many recipients and how often. This determines whether we take it on and through which agent.
Agent selection
We look in our pool for an agent with a lawful route for payouts to individuals in the country you need. If there is none, we say so before any documents are signed.
Agreement and payment order
Your company signs an agency agreement with a network company. The amount, currency, recipients, rate and fee are fixed in the payment order before your roubles are debited.
Payout and documents
The agent sends the payout to the recipient. You receive the confirmation, the agent's report and completion certificate for your accountants.
What we discuss case by case
Payouts to individuals have no single tariff and no single route. The terms follow from the task.
Countries and currencies
Where you need to pay and in which currency the recipients expect the money. Destinations for individuals and for companies do not always match.
Basis for payouts
What agreements the company has with the recipients and what evidences the work: completion certificates, invoices, reports.
Volume and frequency
A one-off payout or monthly ones, one recipient or many. This determines which agent will take it on and on what terms.
Cost
We fix the fee and rate in the payment order before your roubles are debited. We don't state them on the website: they depend on the country, currency and volume.
Taxes and accounting
Tax obligations for payouts to individuals remain with the company. We prepare the payment documents, and how to record them is up to your accountants.

Questions about payouts to individuals
Can I send money myself, as an individual?
No. We do not work with individuals as clients. The payer is a company or sole proprietor under an agreement with the recipient, and the recipient may be an individual abroad.
How much does a payout cost?
It depends on the country, currency, volume and route. We discuss the terms for your task and fix the fee and rate in the payment order before your roubles are debited.
Is there a minimum amount?
The 10,000 USD threshold for supplier payments does not apply here: payouts to individuals can be smaller. We discuss the amount and frequency for your case.
In which countries can individuals be paid?
It depends on the routes our pool agents have at the time of the payout. Name the recipients' countries, and we'll tell you whether we can take it on.
Can we pay salaries to employees?
We review this separately: under what agreement the person works, where they live, and what taxes and documents the company needs. After that, we'll tell you whether we can take such payouts on.
Does the company need an account abroad?
No. The company pays in roubles from its account at a Russian bank under an agency agreement.
Why don't you state the terms right away?
Payouts to individuals have no single route for all countries and amounts. First we review the task and select an agent, then we state the terms. If we can't take it on, we tell you before any documents are signed.
