How Payments Work

OceanBridge will always tell you directly — in writing — exactly where to pay, how much, and who to pay it to. Our agents collect fees only as instructed by OceanBridge for specific services (e.g. documentation processing). That instruction always comes from us first.

  • If an agent requests payment for something OceanBridge has not communicated to you — do not pay, contact us first
  • If the amount or channel an agent requests differs from what OceanBridge told you — report it immediately
  • Official receipts and written breakdowns are mandatory for every payment
  • No agent is authorised to guarantee a job offer in exchange for any fee
  • Always verify the agent code on this page before any engagement
