White-Label

Contractors See
Your Brand.

The onboarding portal, payment confirmation emails, and contractor dashboard all carry your brand — custom domain, logo, and colors. Recipients interact with your company, not Bitwage. This is especially valuable for staffing agencies, consulting firms, and outsourcing businesses that want a seamless partner experience.

For deeper integration, the REST API exposes all onboarding endpoints — embed the flow directly into your own contractor management system or ERP integration.

Contractor Onboarding FAQ

How self-service onboarding, white-labeling, and vendor flows work.

The onboarding portal collects: government ID for KYC / AML compliance verification, W-8BEN foreign contractor form or W-9 tax form (auto-selected based on residency), bank account or wallet details for their chosen payment method, and payment split preferences (e.g., 60% USDC stablecoin, 40% local bank). The entire flow takes under 5 minutes for most recipients. Finance teams see a real-time completion dashboard — no manual chasing.

Yes. The onboarding portal supports full white-labeling: custom domain, logo, brand colors, and email communications. Recipients see your company name, not Bitwage. This is particularly valuable for staffing agencies, outsourcing firms, and enterprises that want the payment infrastructure to be invisible. The {{link:products/api}} also exposes onboarding endpoints for deeper integration into your own contractor management systems.

Each contractor completes the same onboarding portal, but the platform automatically adjusts the tax form, KYC requirements, and available payment methods based on their country of residence. A contractor in pay contractors in Germany sees SEPA as their primary option; one in pay contractors in the Philippines sees PESONet and InstaPay; one in pay contractors in Argentina sees USDC as the recommended option. Country-specific compliance rules are applied automatically.

Contractors can update payment preferences (bank account, wallet address, split percentages) at any time through their self-service portal. Changes take effect on the next scheduled payroll run. Finance teams receive notifications when recipient banking details change — a key fraud prevention control. All preference change events are logged with timestamps and IP addresses for the audit trail.

Yes. The onboarding flow adapts for vendor (accounts payable) use cases as well as contractor payroll. Vendors provide business entity details, beneficial ownership information (for KYC / AML compliance compliance), bank account details, and invoice preferences. The platform supports both individual contractors covered by {{link:products/contractor-payments}} and business vendors covered by {{link:products/vendor-payments}}.
