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
