Getting Started

How can I create an account?

We don't support self-sign-up for contractors or employees at the moment. You will need to be invited by the company to create an account with Plane.

Why is my email invalid during sign-up?

Our sign-up option is only available for organizations. We don't currently support self sign-up for contractors or employees. To create an account with Plane, you must be invited by your organization.

I haven’t received an invitation email. What should I do?

Please reach out to your organization to follow up on the invitation email.

I received an invitation. Now what?

Please sign up for your Plane account using the link included in the invitation email. Please find more details here.

What KYC documentation do I need to prepare before sign-up on Plane?

We don't require KYC documents for contractor onboardings.

How do I set up the payment method for the first time?

Check out this article to get more information about setting up your payment method for the first time.

Is my account set-up correctly?

If you’ve completed all onboarding tasks and added a payment method correctly, you’re all set. If you're unsure, please contact Support for assistance.

How do I switch between my contractor and admin/manager profiles?

If you have the same login details for multiple profiles:

  1. Click on the company name on the upper-left corner.

  2. Click the profile you'd like to switch to from the list that appears.

Payments & Reimbursements

When will I receive my first payment?

If your payment has not been scheduled, please contact your admin/manager from your organization for an update.

Once your organization schedules your payment, you will receive an email notification with the details of your payment. You will be able to review and track your payment from the Payments > History tab to see the pay date.

Can I use a bank account under another person's name?

To avoid possible compliance issues, we recommend using bank accounts in your name.

Can I split my payments between multiple bank accounts?

Yes, you can split your payment between bank accounts that have been added to your Plane profile. Please contact Support with this request.

What does each payment status mean?

Please find details on payment statuses here.

What is the conversion rate for my payment?

The conversion rate will be available once your payment is paid. Please find more details here.

Why did I receive a smaller amount than my scheduled payment?

If you received a smaller amount than what was scheduled by your organization, it is typically due to a fee charged by one or more of the intermediary banks involved in processing your payment between our bank and your bank. You can find more information here.

Can I keep my balance on my Plane account?

Regrettably, we don’t offer the option to keep a balance on Plane. Payments are sent directly to the default bank account on the scheduled pay date.

Can I partially withdraw a payment?

Unfortunately, you can’t partially withdraw payments. As Plane is not a digital wallet, payments are sent directly to your default bank account in full.

How can I request payment?

If enabled by your organization, please go to Payments > Requests and then click the Request payment link on the top right. Enter the details of your payment request then submit. You can find a step-by-step guide here.

Do you support cryptocurrency?

Currently, we don’t support payments in cryptocurrency. You can find more information about our supported payment methods here.

Wise rejected my payment, what should I do?

If you did not receive an email from Plane on how to proceed with your payment, please contact Support for assistance.

Can you contact my client/company and ask them to schedule payment for me?

Please contact your manager/admin at your organization directly, as we don’t handle payment scheduling.

Can you send a reminder to my client to send my payment soon?

Please contact your manager/admin at your organization directly, as we don’t handle payment scheduling.

My payment is showing as Approved in our trading platform, but there is no payment on my Plane account. What should I do?

Please contact your manager/admin at your trading organization for details on your payment.
Please note that Plane is a separate platform, so, while the payment is showing as Approved or Paid in your trading dashboard, that does not mean it has been scheduled on Plane.

My company said my payment has been sent. When will I receive it?

Once your organization schedules your payment, you will receive an email notification with the details of your payment. You will be able to review and track your payment from the Payments > History tab to see the Pay date.

There isn't a payment in my Payments tab. What now?

First, check to see if you have multiple profiles. If you have a second profile connected to your account, you will see an arrow beside the company name on the top left of your profile beside the company name.

If you don't have multiple profiles, please contact your manager/admin at your organization for details about your next pay date. Unfortunately, we don't have control over when payments will be scheduled by your organization.

What should I do if my payment is delayed?

Please check out this article for guidance on what to do if you have not received your payment by your pay date.

Can I change my bank account for a payment that has already been scheduled?

Yes, as long as the payment has not been processed yet. Check out this article for more information.

How can I submit a reimbursement request?

Contractors can submit expenses for reimbursement by creating an expense report. Check out this article for more information.

How do I edit my bank account details?

  2. Click "Unlock" and confirm your account password.

Contract & Compliance

Do I need to complete a W-8/W-9 form?

If your company has enabled the Compliance tab on your Plane account, they require that you complete your W-8/W-9 compliance form. Check out this article on how to fill out your form.

What tax form should I fill out if I'm a non-US contractor?

If you’re not a US citizen, you’ll need to complete the W8 form (see this article).

What is a Foreign Tax ID?

Your foreign tax ID is any government-issued ID that is used to file your taxes. e.g. SSN, TIN, SIN, etc. If you don't have that specific number, please use your driver's license, or passport number.

Where can I find and download my contract?

You will be able to download your contract after you and your organization sign it, by going to Documents > Contracts & Legal on their Plane account. Please note that not all organizations require a contract.

Taxes

How should I pay my taxes when getting paid through Plane?

When you’re working as a contractor or vendor, you’ll be responsible for paying your taxes. Plane does not withhold taxes or provide tax/legal advice for contractors.

For assistance with this, please contact your local tax advisor or authority.

Vendors

Where can I find my contract?

Plane generated contracts are not available for vendors. However, your organization may have created one for you on its end. Please reach out to your admin/manager at your organization for details on this.

Why can’t I request an expense?

Vendors don’t have the option to submit expense reports, only payment requests.

Others

How can I apply for open positions at Plane?

You can see our open roles and how to apply here. If you think any of the open roles might be a good fit for you, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!
