> But as a fee relative to the amounts I'd expect someone to pay a software developer... it shouldn't be too much. That depends. I should've clarified that the remote workers are Contractors, not Employees, and the hiring period and costs vary. For example, I'd hired a contractor in India to write a small Python script -- took him 20 minutes - (1 time gig) for 50 USD. If I were to do a bank transfer for a 30$ fee, that's over 50% of the cost of the actual work / services rendered. But I get your point. For remote employees on a USD salary, it's usually 2000 USD or more per month, and in that case, Bank Transfer may be feasible as it's convenient for both parties.
