How Bitwage Works in Ireland
Bitwage connects your USD balance to Ireland's local payment infrastructure. You fund once, we route to each contractor via their preferred rail.
Fund Your Balance
Deposit USD into your Bitwage Balance. No need to pre-convert to EUR.
Add Contractors
Enter each contractor's payment details — CLABE, IBAN, wallet address, or local account number. Or upload a CSV.
Execute & Settle
Bitwage locks the FX rate, converts, and routes via SEPA Instant. You get a settlement confirmation for every payment.
Compliance Notes
Irish contractors must register with Revenue Ireland and issue invoices for self-employed income. Many US tech companies have Irish subsidiaries; Bitwage handles both US-parent and EU-entity payroll flows.
FX Considerations
Ireland uses the Euro. For USD-funded payments, Bitwage locks USD/EUR at execution. Ireland is a major EU tech hub, and many companies pay Irish contractors from USD treasury.
