Execute & Settle
Bitwage locks the FX rate, converts, and routes via SEPA Instant. You get a settlement confirmation for every payment.
Compliance Notes
Spanish autónomos (self-employed) must register with the RETA (Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers) and issue invoices. Bitwage screens all payments against OFAC and EU sanctions lists.
FX Considerations
Spain uses the Euro, eliminating FX risk for EUR-denominated contracts. For USD-funded payments, Bitwage locks the USD/EUR rate at execution.
