*If you are not a first time Paypal user and you experience having your salary held, please contact us so we could assist you better.
For international payments or bank/wired transfers:

International remittance takes some days to process. We always send out the salary on the 15th but, sometimes, you have to wait a couple of days for it to get into your local accounts.

*Paypal takes their transfer commission from both the company and the receiver. When we send out your salary, the company already takes responsibility for the sending commission. As for the receiving commission, please check it on your Paypal account (according to their website they usually take 4.4%+$0.3).

NOTE: Please refrain from asking the Teacher Support/Payroll Team regarding the Paypal Commission because it is already out of our jurisdiction.

However, any additional bank transfer fees(receiver’s commission) must be borne by the receiver. It may different depends on the bank. Approximately, it will be US$20-US$30.
