International payment methods for translators
There are so many options that it’s really hard to know which one is better, particularly because fees are not always so clear.
I had positive experiences with Transferwise, Payoneer, and Xoom and, in terms of fees, they are much better than PayPal.
Thank you for the very interesting discussion!
