If you need to pay contractors in India, Hanko lets you settle in fiat or crypto stablecoins from a single dashboard — no juggling separate tools for invoices, payments, and reconciliation. Your Indian contractors can accept a card or bank payment, or receive USDC and USDT on chains like Base, Polygon, and Solana. Whichever route they choose, the payment is verified before it's marked paid, and it lands in the same books.
Two ways to pay: fiat rails or stablecoins
Every contractor is different, so Hanko supports both worlds. You can pay through traditional fiat rails or send stablecoins directly to a wallet — the contractor picks what works for them without you managing two systems.
- Fiat: card, ACH, and SEPA bank wire for contractors who prefer money in a local bank account
- Stablecoins: USDC, USDT, and DAI on Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, or Optimism
- A contractor never needs a crypto wallet — the card and bank options are always available
- Native tokens like ETH, SOL, or BTC are supported where they make sense for the payment
Send one contractor or your whole India team
For a single freelancer, create a branded invoice and share the link — they choose how to pay. For a group of contractors, build a batch payout instead. Hanko sends everyone in one on-chain transaction rather than a separate transfer per person, which keeps gas costs down and the run easy to track.
- Add recipients manually, from your contacts, or by importing a CSV
- Save the recipient list as a template and clone it for the next monthly cycle
- Every recipient receives an email receipt with a blockchain explorer link
Paid means confirmed on-chain
For crypto payments, Hanko marks an invoice paid only when the blockchain confirms the transaction — not when someone says they sent it or forwards a screenshot. That removes the back-and-forth over whether a payment actually cleared and gives both sides a verifiable record on the public ledger.
Off-ramp stablecoins to a bank account
Receiving USDC doesn't mean a contractor is stuck holding crypto. From the same screen, stablecoins can be off-ramped to a bank account, so a contractor who wants rupees in the bank can convert without leaving Hanko or opening a separate exchange.
One dashboard reconciles everything
Proposals, e-signed agreements, invoices, a private client portal, and payouts all live in the same workspace. Instead of matching bank statements against a spreadsheet at month-end, every payment to your Indian contractors is already recorded and reconciled where you sent it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pay contractors in India without them using crypto?
Yes. Contractors can always pay or be paid by card or bank transfer. Stablecoins are an option, not a requirement, so a contractor who wants nothing to do with crypto can still work with you normally.
Which stablecoins and chains can I use to pay Indian contractors?
You can send USDC, USDT, and DAI on Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Polygon, Base, and Solana are common choices when you want low transaction fees.
How does a contractor turn stablecoins into money in their bank account?
From the same screen where the payment arrives, received stablecoins can be off-ramped to a bank account. There's no need to move funds to a separate exchange first.
How do I know a contractor actually got paid?
For crypto payments, Hanko marks the invoice paid only after the blockchain confirms the transaction, and every recipient gets an email receipt with an explorer link. You get on-chain proof rather than a claim.
Can I pay a whole team of contractors in India at once?
Yes. Build a batch payout, add or import all your recipients, and Hanko sends them in a single on-chain transaction. You can save the run as a template and clone it next cycle.
Do I need separate software for invoices and payments?
No. Hanko handles proposals, agreements, invoices, a client portal, and payroll in one dashboard, so payments to your India contractors are reconciled in the same place you created them.
