Before linking an account, make sure that your account is verified and tax information is added. Freelancer's personal data is a mandatory requirement for transfers to a Panamanian bank account.

  • To check the verification status or start account verification, go to Profile page by clicking to your name in the Menu.

  • To enter tax information use the instructions below.

Linking a national currency account

To link a Panamanian bank account, go to Finances, select Payment methods, and click Bank account.

Important! The freelancer's name, taxpayer ID, and residential address must match those of the account's beneficiary. The bank account must be denominated in the national currency. Bank Accounts in other currencies cannot be used for payments.

An SMS with a confirmation code will be sent to your phone. After you enter the code, select your bank and provide the bank account details:

  • Choose your bank in the Bank drop-down menu. The list of supported banks see in the table below.

  • Select the Account Type: Checking or Savings account

  • Fill in the Bank account number.

  • Click the check box to agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.

  • Save your account details by clicking Link.

Depending on the freelancer’s tax status, transfers to a Panamanian bank account can be a subject to tax withholding. That means making payments to a Panamanian bank account requires tax information.

Adding Tax Information

  • In your account, go to Finances and select the tab Tax information

  • Click Document type and select your document type. If you have passed verification with one of these documents, then choose that one:

    • RUC - Registro Único de Contribuyentes. Please note that a legal entity's (company's ) RN number cannot be used for payouts in Solar Staff.

    • CE - Cédula de extranjería

    • PASS - Passport

  • Enter the document number of the chosen document under the Document number or code:

    • RUC: between 7 - 15 characters. Please note that a legal entity's (company's ) RN number cannot be used for payouts in Solar Staff.

    • CE, PASS: between 7 - 12 characters.

  • Carefully review the data and press Enter tax information.
