Getting paid from Panama
Panama's currency is the Panamanian balboa (used alongside the US dollar) (PAB). Salaries here are listed in USD, so your take-home depends on the exchange rate and the fee charged to convert it.
Foreign employers usually pay people in Panama by bank transfer or through a payments platform. As a contractor you invoice them yourself; through an employer of record you're on a local payroll in Panamanian balboa (used alongside the US dollar).
