Distro
Contractor Payments

Pay your global team. Without the complexity.

Distro's payment infrastructure handles multi-currency contractor payments in 100+ countries — automated, tracked, and delivered on time, every time.

Paying global contractors is harder than it should be.

Manual payment processes don't scale

Tracking invoices, processing wires, and managing exchange rates manually is error-prone and time-consuming — especially as your contractor count grows.

Compliance risk is real

Misclassifying contractors or missing local tax and reporting requirements can create significant legal and financial exposure — particularly across international jurisdictions.

Contractors expect to be paid on time

Late or inconsistent payments damage contractor relationships and your reputation as an employer. The best talent moves on when payments aren't reliable.

How It Works

Automated payments from onboarding to payout

01

Onboard your contractor

Add your contractor to Distro — they complete their profile, select their preferred payment method, and provide any required tax documentation. Onboarding takes minutes.

02

Set your payment schedule

Configure payment amounts, frequency, and currency. Distro handles exchange rates, international transfer fees, and local payment routing automatically.

03

Payments go out — automatically

On your schedule, payments are processed and delivered. Contractors receive funds via Payoneer, Wise, Stripe, or direct deposit in their local currency. You get full transaction records.

Built for every stage of growth

Startups

Pay your global freelancers and contractors without a finance team.

When you're small, you can't afford payment errors or compliance surprises. Distro handles the complexity so you can hire globally from day one.

Remote Companies

Consistent, on-time payments across every time zone.

Your contractors in Lagos, Warsaw, and Bogotá all get paid reliably — in their currency, on your schedule.

Finance Teams

Audit-ready records, zero manual reconciliation.

Full transaction history, documentation, and reporting built in — so your finance team isn't chasing down contractor invoices at close.

"

We have contractors in 14 countries. Before Distro, our finance team spent two days a month just processing payments. Now it's automated — and we haven't had a single late payment in 8 months.
