<p>In today's world, more of what we produce is done virtually - and having the entire team in one city or even country is no longer necessary. I have people scattered across several countries, and almost every month I need to send them money.</p>
<p>And this is where it gets interesting. Virtual reality is evolving quickly, while the real world is slow. Paying from New York to somewhere else is a constant operational quest: each contractor has their own contract, each country has its own taxes and closing documents, and everyone has their own convenient way to receive money. One uses crypto, another SEPA, and a third a local bank card. And on large platforms like Deel or Remote, they take a percentage for all this, which on serious amounts turns into an unpleasant expense.</p>
<p>One option I'm currently trying out is a project by my friends at Stape. Essentially, it’s an infrastructure layer between the business and the distributed team: one B2B contract covers payments in 242 countries, Stape takes on the legal risk, and instead of a percentage fee, they have a fixed $50 per transaction.</p>
<p>One nice feature is the “Pay Everyone” button, which allows you to close payments for the entire team in one go. You can top up your balance via SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, or USDT, and the contractor receives money on their card, bank account, or USDT wallet. ISO 27001 compliance, with integrations like Sumsub and DocuSign - they haven’t skimped on compliance.</p>
<p>The guys offer <a href="https://thestape.com/ru/cost_reduction?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=rvnikita_blog&utm_campaign=18052026">free 30-minute consultations</a> where they calculate how much you are really losing on international payments. No sales - just numbers. If there’s nothing to optimize, they’ll honestly tell you.</p>
