Banks really aren't that much better. My employer is based in the US, and it took around 3 weeks for their bank to setup the wire transfer to pay me here in Europe. As such they sent my first pay cheque via Paypal. As it was a large amount my account was limited, but after uploading the documents and a quick phone call (their phone support are a lot better than their email and chat support), my funds were unfrozen.
