About Polar

Polar helps remote workers, freelancers, and online sellers outside the U.S. who get paid in dollars get better exchange rates when moving earnings to their local bank. We give them a U.S. dollar account in their name to receive USD earnings and let them withdraw through local bank transfers or stablecoins instead of the expensive options they use today.
