Dextra's Global Invoicing is a service that helps freelancers, remote workers, and digital nomads collect payments from corporate clients worldwide without registering a company. It primarily addresses common obstacles in cross-border payment collection, such as blocked payments, the need for foreign currency cards, restricted accounts, or being forced to research cryptocurrency in order to get paid.
Purpose
Global Invoicing is suitable for people who work directly with clients in different countries, work for global companies as contractors, frequently move between countries, and work remotely. It also targets startups and agencies, supporting teams in taking on projects and splitting payments. Through this platform, users can present themselves to clients as professional contractors with a legal entity and a foreign bank account, even without having one. The platform selects the appropriate entity and bank for each transaction based on the client's country.
Main capabilities
The platform offers two payment collection methods. The first is invoice collection, suitable for completed work: the user creates an invoice and sends it to the client, and the client does not need to register or learn a new tool—they simply open the link and complete payment in a few clicks. The second is escrow collection, suitable for work not yet completed: the client prepays the full amount without registering, requiring only quick verification; the platform holds the funds and releases them after the user marks the work as complete and the client confirms on the designated page. If a dispute arises, the platform intervenes as a mediator.
Other capabilities include: flexible withdrawals, allowing a single withdrawal to be split across different cards and accounts; a free advisory service from the platform's in-house tax team to help users pay taxes correctly in their home country; payment documents that can be used to support digital nomad visa applications; and a fee calculator that lets users know in advance the actual amount they will receive.
How to use
The process is: register on the website or app; create an invoice denominated in USD or EUR and send it to the client; the client enters their company information, completes verification, and pays the invoice by bank transfer; the funds enter the user's Mellow balance; the user can withdraw the funds to a bank card, bank account, e-wallet, or cryptocurrency wallet. The platform emphasizes that the client must be a legal entity. The platform acts as a legal intermediary between the user and the client; the client pays the invoice issued to the platform company, and the platform then transfers the funds to the user.
Withdrawal methods vary by country, and the specific available list can be viewed in the dashboard after registration. Clients pay in USD or EUR, and users can withdraw USD, EUR, or local currency. Where permitted by local law, USDT can be withdrawn to a cryptocurrency wallet. 90% of payments arrive within a few minutes; if additional checks are required or technical issues occur, it may take up to 6 business days.
Fees
The platform onlyA fee is charged. According to the information, Mellow's fees are: 5% for bank transfers, 8% for credit card payments; the withdrawal fee is 0%. Users pay only after receiving funds from clients, with no subscription fees or hidden fees. In the invoice collection model, the platform charges 5% of the transaction amount, with no withdrawal fee.
Limitations and Notes
Clients must be legal entities. The availability of withdrawal methods depends on the user's country, and the specific list must be viewed in the dashboard after registration. Payment arrival time is usually a few minutes, but may be extended to 6 business days when additional checks are required or due to technical issues. Information such as the specific countries or regions supported by the platform, the specific verification materials required for registration, the specific dispute handling process details for escrow collection, and the specific scope of tax advice coverage is not currently provided in the information.
