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.
