Solar Staff gives freelancers a variety of ways to withdraw funds.

The service relies on several international and regional financial institutions, banks, and other payment service providers to remit money to contractors' wallets, cards, and bank accounts.

You can withdraw funds from Solar Staff balances in three currencies: EUR, USD, and RUB. Funds can be remitted in currencies other than the withdrawal one, in which case they are converted at Solar Staff's internal rate and/or by the processing bank.


Below is a table featuring the available withdrawal methods for each country, as well as additional instructions on linking these methods and withdrawing funds.

Africa: Fund withdrawal methods

To quickly find a country, press Ctrl+F or Сommand+F and enter its name in the search bar. Please see the meaning of the colour formatting:

  • Green means that two or more *BINs have had successful payouts;

  • Yellow is for countries where only one BIN worked;

  • Red - failed payouts recorded to cards or payouts are unavailable.

*BIN - bank identification number (BIN), which is the first 6 digits of the card. BIN identifies the payment system, card type, and issuing bank.
