We use Barclays and have EUR and USD accounts with them which we can see online and make transfers/payments online with. Allows us to have a USD Amex, and do a lot of our Forex with Transferwise. Saved tens of thousands over the years on Forex with this method, and expensing some of our USD infrastructure costs on Amex helps as well.
Last pain point for us is getting a USD account in USA so we can cashout Paypal USD balances. Found companies that promise ability to do this but after wasting lots of time turns out they can't.
- martinald 7y agoTransferwise can give you a US ACH account with a USD balance which you can then convert and send. Not sure if that helps?
- Scirra_Tom 7y agoPaypal need a USD account in USA, with a bank statement from said account showing your business name. I don't think that would do it.
- martinald 7y agoSeems that it works. It is a USD bank. https://www.icomparefx.com/how-to-send-money-from-paypal-to-transferwise/ https://www.icomparefx.com/how-to-send-money-from-paypal-to-...
- Scirra_Tom 7y agoWe have a business account - there is no ability to add USD account without having to go through support who require bank statements unfortunately.
- lordnacho 7y agoI use Barclays. I have a USD account that I can't see, but all the operators can see. Really quite frustrating.
