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.

This article provides detailed information about withdrawal methods for each country.

Withdrawal methods by country

To make finding the information on your specific country easier, countries and territories are grouped into separate articles by continent. The choice of withdrawal methods depends on the country and – for contractors in Russia – on the tax status.

Payout success by country

Payouts to bank cards

Whether a payout goes through or not is determined based on the target card's bank identification number (BIN), which is the first 6 digits of the card. BIN identifies the payment system, card type, and issuing bank. If a BIN is not listed in either Table 1 or Table 2, there is no guarantee of a successful payout to the respective card – you'll only know for sure when you try to withdraw there. If a transaction fails, the funds are returned to your balance. Table 3 lists countries where payment networks ban payouts to cards.

  1. Successful payouts by country

For more information about cards' BINs, see Withdrawal methods by country. Green means two or more BINs have had successful payouts, while yellow is for countries where only one BIN worked.
