Overview

If your employer offers stablecoin payroll, you can choose to receive part or all of your pay in stablecoins instead of traditional bank deposits.

Your Options

Traditional (Bank Deposit)

Receive 100% of your pay via direct deposit to your bank account.

Stablecoin

Receive part or all of your pay in stablecoins (like USDC) to your crypto wallet.

Hybrid

Split your pay between bank deposit and stablecoin — for example, 70% to your bank and 30% in USDC.
