Testlio Payment Tester - Remote Gig Faroe Islands — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This is a highly location-specific gig — you must be physically based in the Faroe Islands and hold a local Faroe Islands bank account in local currency (DKK). It is not a role for a passing traveler or digital nomad visiting on a tourist visa, as opening a local bank account typically requires residency status.
That said, if you are already living in the Faroe Islands — whether as a resident, expat, or long-term remote worker — this is an extremely low-effort, one-time engagement. The active work is just ~1 hour, with a 2-business-day wait for the transfer to arrive.
- Total earnings: ~$118 USD ($18 for the hour + $100 completion bonus) — roughly equivalent to 1–2 nights in a Tórshavn guesthouse.
- Schedule flexibility: Fully async outside of the bank transfer window; no fixed hours required.
- Timezone: No timezone constraints mentioned, so you work on your own schedule.
The account you create on Testlio's platform can be used for future freelance testing gigs, which is the real long-term value for nomads — Testlio offers ongoing paid testing work globally, making it worth signing up regardless of your base location.
We're Testlio, a global software testing company that helps businesses make sure their apps, websites, and digital services work correctly for real people around the world. We're currently looking for someone based in the Faroe Islands to help us test an international payment service.
What are we testing?
When companies send money internationally, they need to make sure the payment reaches the right type of local bank account and that important information, such as the amount, date, and payment reference, appears correctly.
That's where you come in.
Our client will send a small test payment to your local Faroe Islands bank account. Your role is simply to:
- Receive the international transfer.
- Check the amount, date, and payment reference.
- Take screenshots and/or a short video confirming the payment arrived.
- Share the requested evidence with our testing team.
You will not send money, make a purchase, transfer money back, or use your own funds. The purpose is simply to confirm that an international payment reaches a real Faroe Islands bank account correctly.
Requirements
- Currently based in the Faroe Islands.
- Have a local Faroe Islands bank account in local currency.
- Comfortable providing the banking details needed to receive the transfer.
- Comfortable providing screenshots/video as evidence.
- Willing to sign a consent form before your information is shared with the payment provider.
No specific device is required, and we'll provide instructions for the task.
Time & Payment
The active testing takes approximately 1 hour total. The bank transfer itself may take up to 2 business days to arrive.
- $18 USD/hour
- $100 USD completion bonus after successfully completing the testing requirements
How To Apply
You will be asked to create an account on our website in order to access the testing materials and track any issues with the app/payment transfer. This stage takes approximately 30 minutes, and can later be used to find additional freelancer work on our website.
