Funding your Microworkers’ Employer account just got easier. Microworkers has rolled out new deposit options to give Employers more flexibility and convenience. These options are ideal for users who prefer modern payment methods and enhanced privacy.

Alongside the existing options, employers can now choose between One-Time Payments and Airtm to fund their Microworkers balance.

Minimum Deposit Requirement

Regardless of the deposit method used, please note that the minimum deposit amount on Microworkers is $10.00. This applies to all available payment options, both new and existing.

New Deposit Options

1. One-Time Payment

The One-Time Payment option is a flexible and privacy-focused way to add funds to your Microworkers account. As the name suggests, this method allows you to make a single deposit without saving your payment details for future use.

When you open the deposit page and click the Pay button in the One-Time Payment section, you’ll be redirected to a new payment page.

The payment options displayed may vary depending on your browser, country, and device. For example, iPhone users with Apple Pay configured may see Apple Pay as an available option when accessing Microworkers from their device.

One-Time Payments are perfect if:

• You want to use a credit card for a single deposit without saving it for future use.
• You want to use a digital wallet like Google Pay, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, WeChat Pay, or Pix (Brazil only). These methods are always one-time and not stored by Microworkers.

Google Pay

Ideal for Android users, Google Pay lets you fund your Microworkers account quickly and securely. Each transaction is processed as a one-time payment, and your credentials are not saved.

Apple Pay

For iOS users with Apple Pay configured, this option makes deposits seamless from your Apple account. Payment information is not retained after the transaction.

WeChat Pay

Available for users in China, WeChat Pay allows deposits directly from your WeChat account. Each deposit requires re-authentication, as credentials are not stored.

Key Advantage:

• No payment details are saved after the transaction
• Ideal for occasional Employers or first-time users
• Supports modern and globally used payment methods

2. Airtm Deposit Option

Microworkers now supports Airtm as a deposit method. This option offers greater flexibility for users who already use Airtm as a digital financial platform.

How It Works – Steps on How to Use Airtm Deposit:

1. Before making a deposit, you must link your Airtm account to your Microworkers account. Simply go to the “Account” page and click on “Verify Airtm” from the list of “Account verification methods”.

2. Enter your verified Airtm email which must match your Microworkers email address. Then click “Connect”.
3. Once linked, you will receive a confirmation message and you are all set to make a deposit.

4. Now access the “Deposit“ page. Input the amount under the “Airtm” section (the minimum is $10.00) or choose from the amounts already listed. After that, click on “Deposit”.

5. You will be taken to the “Pay with Airtm” page, where you can provide the billing information you want to appear on the invoice. Then, click “Make Payment”.

6. If you are not yet logged in, you will be redirected to the Airtm login page. Tap “Confirm” to complete the deposit approval.

7. Finally, you will be taken back to the Microworkers page, where your deposit confirmation will be displayed. And the process is complete.
