If you need to pay contractors in Nigeria, Hanko lets you send money in stablecoins or fiat and track every payout in one place. Contractors can receive USDC on networks like Base or Polygon, and each recipient gets an email receipt with a block explorer link. For those who prefer traditional rails, fiat payment methods are available too.
Choose stablecoins or fiat
You decide how each contractor in Nigeria gets paid. Stablecoins like USDC settle on-chain and can be sent across several networks, while fiat options cover card, ACH, and SEPA wire. Contractors don't have to use crypto to work with you, and you don't have to run two separate systems.
- Send USDC, USDT, or DAI on Base, Polygon, and other supported chains
- Or pay in fiat by card, ACH, or SEPA bank wire
- One dashboard reconciles both rails
Batch payouts in a single transaction
When you're paying a group of contractors at once, Hanko can send a batch payout in a single transaction. That is more gas-efficient than sending each payment separately. You can clone a previous payroll run or template so recurring monthly payments take minutes.
- Mass payouts go out in one transaction
- Clone past runs and templates for recurring payroll
- Every recipient receives an email receipt with an explorer link
On-chain proof, not screenshots
Stablecoin payments to Nigerian contractors are confirmed on the blockchain, so there is a verifiable record of each transfer. Contractors can open the explorer link in their receipt to see the exact amount and time they were paid. This removes the back-and-forth of proving a payment was actually sent.
- On-chain verification for every stablecoin payout
- Explorer link included in each contractor's receipt
- Clear audit trail for your own records
Off-ramp to a bank when needed
Stablecoins can be off-ramped to a bank account from the same screen, which is useful when a contractor or your business wants funds in local currency. You can keep part of a balance in USDC and convert the rest. This gives Nigerian contractors flexibility in how they ultimately hold what they earn.
- Off-ramp USDC to a bank account without leaving Hanko
- Keep some funds in stablecoins, convert the rest
- Give contractors a private portal to see their invoices and payments
