Online platform Remotask discontinues operations in Kenya

Remotask will no longer be accessible to Kenyans.

Remotasks is known for offering opportunities in data entry tasks, copywriting, AI development, and various evaluation-related endeavours.

The website is operated by Scale AI, Inc., a major player in the global e-commerce solutions industry.

Once trained, users can undertake tasks to earn money, but they must pass a test before accessing these tasks.

Newcomers are encouraged to begin with lower-paying tasks, which are less demanding and require minimal expertise.

As users progress through training, they gain access to more advanced levels and higher-paying opportunities.

According to screenshots shared on social media platforms, Remotasks reportedly notified affected users via email, stating that the platform would no longer be accessible in Kenya as of March 8, 2024.

“We are reaching out with an important announcement regarding Remotasks operations in your location. We are discontinuing operations in your current location effective March 8, 2024,” the email read in part.

“As part of this change, you have been off-boarded from your current project. You will receive payments associated with your work completed via the payment account set up on your profile,” the email stated further.

Remotask management has promised to pay Kenyans monies owed to them.
