Filipino Businesses and Remote Teams: Accepting Payments From Clients Abroad

The Philippines is a global hub for virtual assistance, customer support, design and development. Agencies and freelancers bill clients in the US, Australia and Europe every month — and pay fees at every step: platform commissions, transfer fees and exchange-rate spreads. Stripe doesn't onboard businesses based in the Philippines.

A direct alternative

Send your client a payment link or a recurring invoice. They pay by card through a provider available in their country, or directly in USDC/USDT. You receive stablecoins in your wallet within minutes and convert to pesos when it suits you, through exchanges or e-wallets that support stablecoins.

Built for agencies

• Recurring invoices (Pro) for monthly retainers, with reminder emails.
• Wallet groups (Pro) to route different clients or teams to different wallets.
• CSV export (Pro) for bookkeeping.

Getting started

1. Create a free Vulta account — email only, no company documents.
2. Add a USDC (Polygon) wallet for card payments, plus any crypto wallets you want (USDT on TRON is popular and cheap).
3. Create a payment link: Card only for mainstream buyers, Card + Crypto for everyone.
4. For retainers, set up recurring invoices so clients are billed automatically each month.

Vulta takes 0% of payments; plans are Free, Pro ($20/month) and Max ($49/month). Always check how your local rules treat income received in digital assets and declare it for tax as required.

Frequently asked questions

Can Australian clients pay by card?

Yes, if card providers serve Australia for that amount — Vulta shows only those that do. They can also pay in stablecoins.

How fast do I get paid?

Within minutes of the client completing the payment.

Can I bill hourly work?

Use an open-amount link where the client enters the agreed total, or create a link per invoice.

Which wallet should I use?

Any wallet or exchange address that supports USDC on Polygon for card payments; see our wallet setup guide.
