How to Pay Remote Employees with Crypto (Easy, Fast & Borderless)
Hiring remote workers is easier than ever.
Paying them? Not so much.
If you’ve ever tried sending international payments, you’ve probably dealt with:
- High transfer fees
- Long delays
- Currency issues
- “Bank closed” problems
- Confused employees asking, “Did it arrive yet?”
But there’s a better way now: crypto.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to pay remote employees with crypto, even if you’re not a crypto expert.
Why More Companies Are Paying in Crypto
Because it solves real problems.
Crypto lets you:
- Pay anyone, anywhere — instantly
- Skip banks and third parties
- Avoid exchange rates and high fees
- Pay in dollars (using stablecoins like USDT or USDC)
- Send payments 24/7 — weekends, holidays, doesn’t matter
It’s not just fast. It’s smart.
What You Need to Get Started
To start paying your remote team in crypto, you only need:
1. A Crypto Wallet
This is your business wallet where you’ll send the payments from.
Try:
- Binance (with P2P and funding options)
- Trust Wallet
- OurTeamClub Wallet (coming soon — designed for global businesses and teams)
2. Stablecoins
Use USDT or USDC — they stay equal to $1 and are perfect for salary payments.
Use these networks for low fees:
- TRC20 (for USDT)
- BEP20 or Polygon (for USDC)
3. Your Employees’ Wallet Addresses
Each team member will send you their public wallet address and preferred network.
Step-by-Step: How to Pay Remote Employees with Crypto
Step 1: Fund Your Wallet
Buy USDT or USDC using your card or crypto exchange. Choose a low-fee network (TRC20 recommended).
Step 2: Collect Wallet Info
Ask each employee to give you:
- Their wallet address
- The coin and network they prefer (e.g., “USDT TRC20”)
Create a spreadsheet so you don’t mix up payments.
Step 3: Send Payments
Open your wallet → Select the coin → Tap “Send” → Paste the address → Enter the amount → Confirm.
Repeat for each team member.
Step 4: Notify Them
They’ll usually get the payment in 1–5 minutes.
No banks. No clearinghouses. No delays.
How Much Does It Cost?
Almost nothing.
For example:
- Paying 10 remote workers via USDT TRC20 = under $1 total in fees
Compare that to $25+ per person with international bank wires? No contest.
What If an Employee Is New to Crypto?
That’s okay! Send them this checklist:
- Download Trust Wallet (or OurTeamClub Wallet, when available)
- Set up their account and save their backup phrase
- Choose USDT (TRC20) as their payment coin
- Copy their wallet address and send it to you
You can even send them a small test payment first. It’s fast and builds confidence.
Safety Tips for Business Owners
- Always double-check wallet addresses
- Label your wallet transfers for tracking (if the wallet allows)
- Use stablecoins to avoid price volatility
- Start with small batches while getting used to the flow
- Use 2FA and cold storage for unused funds
Why Crypto Makes Hiring Globally Easier
When you pay with crypto, you’re not stuck with:
- Country-specific rules
- Limited payment platforms
- Delayed or blocked wires
- Middlemen and hidden conversion fees
Instead, your payments are:
- Direct
- Transparent
- Instant
- Available globally
It’s like giving your team access to global payroll without the infrastructure.
