Info

This page concerns direct deposit for international staff. If you're on a U.S program Team, see Direct Deposit.

Note

When you launch overseas, we will no longer withhold state taxes from your paycheck. There are a few states that may still require you to report income and pay taxes. Please consult with a local tax professional.


We have a variety of ways that International workers receive their paycheck, depending on security, banking, and visa needs.

To access funds from your US bank overseas, you can either wire it to a foreign bank account or withdraw cash from ATMs. ATM fees are reimbursable for international workers.

Reliant does not have the ability to direct deposit into an International bank account.  However, you can request a monthly wire.

ATM Reimbursements

Before leaving for your international ministry location, contact the Finance department to discuss your banking plans and whether ATM reimbursements may make sense for you.  Typically, missionaries are not eligible for reimbursing ATM fees, but as an international missionary, if it is necessary for safety or other reasons for you to withdraw funds using an ATM, you may be able to reimburse the associated fees.

Salary Advances

See Salary Advances for more information. 

NOTE: Some countries are on a no-banking list and will not be able to receive a wire.


UI Step

Foreign Entity

Sometimes, international workers need to be employed by an in-country organization to meet their visa requirements. In this case, Reliant is able to send your salary to a foreign non-profit in the form of a grant. In this scenario, you will be considered a part-time employee of Reliant and required to have a small salary deposited in a US bank account as well, allowing for 403b9 contributions and reimbursements. Please reach out to international@reliant.org if you are interested in this option and we will work through the details with you.


UI Step

Salary Advance

Sometimes International workers need to put up a large amount of money at once. For instance, a landlord may require several months to a year of rent up front. You are able to request a payroll advance for these situations. See Payroll Advances for more information and for the google doc form.  If you are having issues with the google doc, you can email payroll@reliant.org.
