Step-by-step
- Wise: free local receiving details in USD, EUR, GBP and more (USD wire/SWIFT about $6 per payment) and conversion near the mid-market rate with a visible fee (often well under 1% for major currencies). Best for direct client bank transfers.
- Payoneer: free when paid by marketplaces and in your local-currency receiving account, about 1% for non-local receiving accounts and roughly 1.2β4% when converting on withdrawal; an annual fee may apply to low-volume accounts. Best for Amazon, Upwork and marketplace payouts.
