What is RemoteGenies?

RemoteGenies is a talent platform that connects businesses with pre-vetted Filipino freelancers (Genies) for on-demand, project-based, or long-term work. Clients post tasks, Genies deliver results, all managed securely through our platform.

Who are the “Genies”?

Who can use RemoteGenies?

Clients — individuals, startups, or companies needing remote help.

Freelancers (Genies) —  Filipino professionals residing in the Philippines. We work exclusively with Filipino talent, so you'll need to be a Filipino citizen currently living in the Philippines to join as a Genie.

Billing & Credits

Payments

What are credits?

Credits are the currency used to pay for work on RemoteGenies. One credit equals one US dollar, so what you see is what you pay.

How does payment work?

1. Clients pre-fund the agreed amount into a secure escrow.
2. The Genie completes the task and submits it for review.
3. The client approves the work, and payment is released to the Genie's wallet.

This ensures both sides are protected.

Are payments secure?

Yes. Your funds remain in escrow until the work is approved, and RemoteGenies never shares payment details with freelancers or third parties.

Do credits expire?

Pay-As-You-Go: credits are valid for 30 days from your most recent purchase. Your balance has a single expiry date, so when you top up, your new credits are added to what's left and the whole balance takes a fresh 30 days.

Monthly plans: unused credits roll over for up to 4 months.
Yearly plans: unused credits roll over for up to 6 months.

Once the rollover window passes, unused credits are removed from your balance.

Platform Security

Safety, Trust
& Support

How does RemoteGenies ensure quality and reliability?

We pre-screen all Genies before onboarding, verifying skills, experience, and communication abilities. Clients can also view Genie profiles and reviews before hiring.

What if something goes wrong?

RemoteGenies has a dispute resolution process. If the work doesn't meet expectations, you can request revisions or open a dispute within 7 days of task completion.

Our support team reviews both sides and helps resolve the issue fairly. If a dispute is valid, escrow funds can be refunded or the task reassigned.

Is my data protected?

Yes. RemoteGenies follows strict data protection practices — see our Privacy Policy for details. Communications and payments happen inside the secure RemoteGenies platform, and both clients and Genies agree to confidentiality and non-disclosure under our platform policies.

Your personal data is never sold or shared without consent.
