In an era defined by unprecedented global connectivity, the traditional boundaries of employment are dissolving, creating a new landscape of opportunities that extend far beyond the Caribbean’s shores. The shift towards digital nomadism and geo-arbitrage—explored in previous blogs—underscores a transformative moment: Caribbean professionals are not confined by geography but are part of a dynamic global workforce. However, to truly capitalize on this shift, there’s an urgent need to reimagine the world of work (Check out the New World of Work Article).

While entry-level remote roles in customer service and data entry provide salaries that surpass local standards, these positions represent just the beginning of what’s possible. To move forward in their careers, Caribbean professionals must embrace continuous upskilling, preparing themselves for the growing demand in specialized skillsets that the new global job market prizes. By broadening their perspectives and skill bases, they can unlock doors to advanced roles that not only offer better compensation but also greater job satisfaction and professional growth.

How To Get Paid As a Remote Worker

First, you should ask a potential employer, “How do they handle payments to their remote workers?”

The company dictates how they handle their payouts and that will be your guide for what systems you need to put in place. There are usually 3 ways companies or clients pay people across the world:

1. PayPal – This is usually the #1 option that companies use to pay out workers, as they are able to connect their bank accounts to PayPal and transfer money using the platform. You can check out my guide on setting up a PayPal account here –> Getting Started with PayPal.
2. Payoneer – Setting this up is pretty straightforward, just follow the setup guides and you can add any of the local banks in the Caribbean to your Payoneer account to receive the payouts. You can also apply for the Payoneer Card after you have earned $100usd on the platform, this will give you access to your funds in USD. You can then decide whether to transfer the money to your local bank to access local currency or keep the funds in the card to have full access to USD.
3. Wise – This will give you a digital bank account allowing you to accept wire transfers, ACH payments and Swift network payments. You can open up over 64+ currency accounts inside Wise and give your employers your Wise bank account details to receive payments from anywhere in the world. You can check out the full article on setting up a Wise account here –> Wise Bank Account.
