Bank transfer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A bank transfer is simply the direct transfer of funds from one bank account to another. Bank transfers are a low-cost option for larger transactions or recurring payments and are typically done online, over the phone, or by physically visiting a bank branch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of a bank transfer generally includes you sending over your bank account details to the client.The client then transfers the relevant amount to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/business-bank-accounts-for-small-businesses-and-freelancers\/\">business\u2019 bank account<\/a>, along with a unique reference code to note the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and cons of a bank transfer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest advantage of bank transfers is the security. By nature, banks use <strong>high-levels of security layers and measures for their processes. <\/strong>Banking information is also encrypted and there are steps taken by the bank to verify identity and banking details to prevent fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of bank transfers is the fact that they are a <strong>common practice <\/strong>and the process is familiar to almost everyone. This is especially helpful if you\u2019re a freelancer with multiple clients. For example, if you only work with a specific type of payment method, it can prove challenging if your client or clients aren\u2019t familiar with that type of payment method.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, bank transfers ensure that your <strong>funds go directly into your bank account.<\/strong> This means that there\u2019s no added step of having to move your funds from another platform to your account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the cons of a bank transfer, one of the biggest disadvantages is the<strong> potential fees that come with transfering funds from one account to another. <\/strong>The exact amount, however, depends on the bank and whether it\u2019s an international transfer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of international transfer, this is another con when it comes to bank transfers. <strong>Transfers can take several days<\/strong> which can cause cash flow problems for freelancers. Additionally, banks may offer less competitive exchange rates when sending money to a recipient in a different currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"checks\">2. Checks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting paid by a check is another traditional freelancer payment method. We would suggest reserving this method only for clients that you trust, and if you can, wait for the check to be processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and cons of checks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While checks are virtually free and highly convenient, they do take a bit longer to process than most other payment methods. So if you find you need to be paid as soon as possible, this is probably not the method for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"debit\">3. Debit\/credit cards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While not conventionally used for overseas payment, some clients prefer to pay their freelancers with plastic. Even though card processing equipment may be required to accept payments through this method, freelancers usually make use of apps or other service providers to receive payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and cons of getting paid with debit or credit cards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although cards allow your clients to pay you in just a few clicks, they may be expensive for large payments. To be able to accept payments by credit card you will probably also need to pay for another service provider, such as PayPal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"online-payment-methods\">Online Freelancer Payment Methods &amp; Platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"paypal\"><strong>1. PayPal<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the <strong>most popular freelancer payment methods amongst freelancers<\/strong>, <strong>PayPal<\/strong> is a <strong>fast, easy<\/strong> and extremely <strong>reliable<\/strong> method to receive payments. A nominal fee per transaction is charged from the seller, which may be higher or lower based on the account type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best PayPal account for freelancers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can start with <strong>a personal account<\/strong> that can later be <strong>upgraded to a business<\/strong> one. <strong>Transaction fees vary<\/strong> depending on where you are based and might also be higher for cross-border transactions (currency conversion fee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><thead><tr><th>Country<\/th><th>% Transaction<\/th><th>Fix fee<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>U.S<\/td><td>2,9%<\/td><td>USD 0,30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spain<\/td><td>3,4%<\/td><td>EUR 0,39<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The Philippines<\/td><td>3,2%<\/td><td>PHP 25<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and Cons of PayPal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>biggest advantage<\/strong> of PayPal is its <strong>popularity<\/strong> as well as the fact that customers are much less likely to hesitate when using it. Additionally, <strong>PayPal<\/strong> allows customers to <strong>make purchases directly<\/strong> through your website and accept credit card payments by phone, fax, or mail, as long as you have a business account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside? High transaction <strong>fees <\/strong>and sometimes<strong> unsatisfactory customer service. <\/strong>Additionally, <strong>Paypal is not available in all countries<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Afghanistan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bangladesh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cameroon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Central African Republic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cote D&#8217;Ivoire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paraguay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saint Lucia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Sudan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sudan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Syria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>North Korea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Equatorial Guinea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gabon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ghana,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Haiti<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Iran<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Iraq<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lebanon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liberia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Libya<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monaco<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moldova<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Montenegro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Myanmar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pakistan&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Timor-Leste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uzbekistan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zimbabwe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, note that <strong>PayPal has the right to lock your account<\/strong> if they notice any \u201csuspicious\u201d activity. This means your transfers can be frozen or your funds may not be available for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"skrill\"><strong>2. Skrill<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Formerly known as Moneybookers (2001), Skrill focuses on <strong>worldwide transfers<\/strong> in <strong>different<\/strong> <strong>currencies<\/strong>. It is a worthwhile option for those who tend to work with international clients regularly. In terms of fees and charges, it is quite <strong>similar to PayPal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and Cons of Skrill <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skrill is an <strong>easy to use<\/strong> payment gateway which is pretty <strong>secure<\/strong> and gives <strong>fast access <\/strong>to its users. <strong>On the<\/strong> <strong>flipside<\/strong>, Skrill is still <strong>not widely accepted<\/strong> as a freelancer <strong>payment method <\/strong>in many countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"google\"><strong>3. Google Pay <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, Android Pay and Google Wallet unified to become <strong>Google Pay<\/strong>. It is <strong>one of the simplest ways<\/strong> for freelancers to receive and send money online. The best part? There are <strong>no transfer fees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Google Pay Pros and Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Pay offers a multitude of <strong>benefits<\/strong> such as <strong>zero fees<\/strong>, the <strong>convenience<\/strong> of transfering money from your bank account to any account, and <strong>rewards<\/strong> that go directly into your bank account. The only <strong>negative<\/strong> thing about this method is that it has <strong>limited online payment partners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"escrow\"><strong>4. Escrow<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to <strong>security of online payments<\/strong>, <strong>Escrow<\/strong> is perhaps the best option for freelancers. To safeguard the interests of both parties, this method first requires the client to deposit the payment before the seller begins working on a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seller gets confirmation and is assured of <strong>secured<\/strong> <strong>funding<\/strong>. Once the client confirms that they have received the service, the seller receives the payment. There is a <strong>transaction fee of 3.25%<\/strong> which <strong>can be split<\/strong> between the two parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and Cons of Escrow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Escrow is an <strong>ideal freelancer payment method <\/strong>for those who work with <strong>new clients<\/strong> regularly. However, the <strong>service fee is on the higher side<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"eft\"><strong>5. EFT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)<\/strong> is a way of <strong>transferring funds from one account to another<\/strong> with or without a nominal fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and cons of EFT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is <strong>quick, easy, <\/strong>and you <strong>receive payment directly into your bank account<\/strong>. On the flipside, the <strong>disadvantages<\/strong> of EFT are the <strong>various limits on the maximum amount<\/strong> and the <strong>number of transactions<\/strong> that can be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wire\"><strong>6. Wire transfer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A type of EFT,<strong> wire transfer<\/strong> is a bit <strong>faster<\/strong> and costs a bit <strong>more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wire transfers are undoubtedly <strong>safe, fast <\/strong>and<strong> globally accepted; <\/strong>these transfers are <strong>irrevocable <\/strong>too. Wire transfers regularly take between 2 to 5 business days to be completed. Another added benefit is that the freelancer can have the money deposited directly into their account. A major negative, however, is that wire transfers do tend to be rather expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"checks\"><strong>7. Wise <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/transferwise.prf.hn\/l\/6Z8vwq9\" target=\"_blank\">Wise<\/a>, previously known as TransferWise, is an <strong>ideal choice<\/strong> for freelancers who often <strong>request large payments <\/strong>and work with overseas clients.

Stripe<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another payment method that\u2019s gaining traction amongst freelancers, Stripe charges a <strong>standard fee<\/strong> <strong>of 2.9%, plus a $0.30 per transaction fee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and cons of Stripe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stripe is <strong>quick to set up<\/strong> and <strong>highly secure<\/strong>, its <strong>high transaction costs<\/strong>, being maybe a freelancers\u2019 only gripe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"paymo\"><strong>9. Paymo<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides helping you <strong>receive payments without a fuss<\/strong>, Paymo does a great job of helping you <strong>keep track of multiple<\/strong> <strong>projects<\/strong>. <strong>Freelancers<\/strong> also get to enjoy a <strong>free plan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and cons of Paymo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This payment platform comes with a <strong>fairly intuitive dashboard<\/strong> and helps with <strong>scheduling and reporting<\/strong> too. On the other hand, the <strong>built-in invoicing feature is a bit difficult to customize<\/strong> and can prove to be a hindrance to some freelancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"western\"><strong>10. Western Union and MoneyGram <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these methods are <strong>quick, convenient and globally accepted.<\/strong> While <strong>Western Union<\/strong> has over <strong>500,000 locations worldwide<\/strong>, <strong>MoneyGram<\/strong> has around <strong>350,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of fees, <strong>Western Union rates start at $5<\/strong> and can <strong>go up to $45<\/strong> when paying by credit or debit card for cash pickup in some of the supported countries. <strong>Fees charged<\/strong> <strong>by<\/strong> <strong>MoneyGram, <\/strong>on the other hand <strong>vary<\/strong> depending on how much money is being transferred, and how and where it is being sent to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These freelancer payment methods are <strong>reliable<\/strong>, <strong>secure<\/strong> and have <strong>a wide reach<\/strong>. But <strong>MoneyGram\u2019s exchange rates and transaction limits <\/strong>make it a bit <strong>less favorable <\/strong>than other payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1c3b7\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1c3b7;font-size:18px\">Browse the latest projects and work without commission fees.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/it-projects.html\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#222222;background-color:#FCF2DB;border-color:#cac2b0;border-radius:20px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#222222;padding:0px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:32px;border-color:#fdf6e6;border-radius:20px;text-shadow:none\"> <strong>Start on a project now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"payoneer\"><strong>11. Payoneer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Payoneer is quickly gaining international popularity for being an easy-to-use payment method. This platform lets you <strong>withdraw funds and deposit in your local bank account<\/strong>, and is available in over 200 countries and rising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros and cons of Payoneer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Payoneer is incredibly <strong>easy to use <\/strong>and is <strong>supported by several global companies <\/strong>as a payment method. It is important to note, however, that this method comes with a <strong>hefty card renewal fee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accounting\"><strong>12. Accounting software<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may not technically be a payment method, using <strong>accounting software<\/strong> is a great way to <strong>automate and keep track of your incoming payments<\/strong> for clients, especially if you\u2019re working on multiple projects at once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These programs keep track of invoices issued, payments to be made, and even notify clients about overdue payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accounting software collecting payment for freelancers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find <strong>several accounting software options<\/strong> to use. These range from global accounting software packages to smaller software companies operating locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of the <strong>best accounting programs<\/strong> created especially with freelancers in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellobonsai.com\/?fp_ref=freelancermap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bonsai<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=56787&amp;awinaffid=2418225&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.freshbooks.com%2Fen-eu%2Ffor-freelancers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Freshbooks<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/zipbooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zipbooks<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Any of these platforms can be useful when trying to organize payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cryptocurrency\">13. Cryptocurrency<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of digital currencies has boomed in the past few years, with more and more industries and businesses embracing them. As a freelancer, you can ask clients to pay you in the cryptocurrency of your choosing. The pros here are that cryptocurrencies have <strong>lower fees than other platforms.<\/strong> In fact, some bitcoin exchanges offer fees under 1%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of cryptocurrency payments is that they are <strong>decentralised<\/strong>, meaning they aren\u2019t tied to any specific institution or country. This eradicates the monopoly of a currency and keeps it more secure and safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The major downside of using cryptocurrencies as payment is that they are <strong>extremely volatile.<\/strong> Huge fluctuations in the value of cryptocurrencies is a regular occurrence meaning your profits could be up one day and down the next. And because these currencies are so volatile, <strong>lots of people and businesses haven\u2019t come to accept them as a payment method yet.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"consider\"><strong>What should you consider when choosing how to get paid?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fees: <\/strong>As a freelancer, pay due diligence to your chosen gateway\u2019s fee structure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Convenience: <\/strong>In order to avoid delayed payments, ensure that your chosen payment method is easy for your client to use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support: <\/strong>Look for a payment service provider that offers live technical support to take care of any issues that may arise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security:<\/strong> For absolute peace of mind, always choose a secure and established channel to receive payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brand: <\/strong>Popular payment service providers have a known presence across the world.
