Or they could use a more customer-friendly service like TransferWise.
TransferWise gives me bank account numbers in multiple countries (service may be limited by nationality), and has a more sane ~0.5% conversion fee. They charge a small flat fee for withdrawals to (some?) bank accounts, but it's not outrageous like 3%.
- shadowprofile77 6y agoYes, that's one useful option, in cases where those contracting work or buying services want to or know about using it. But does Transferwise also have a tendency to engage in Paypal's now famous other habit of randomly freezing accounts (with all funds held for weeks or even months sometimes) for ambiguous claims of suspicious activity? This too is yet another one of this dumpster fire's habits
- ValentineC 6y agoI haven't had the misfortune of having to talk to their KYC/AML team, but I hear their customer service is fairly good. PayPal, on the other hand, asked me to provide charity information for my personal account some months ago, and subsequently limited my receiving/sending privileges. Phone calls to them trying to sort this out have always ended up at some call centre in the Philippines, where the agents can only tell their users that the account limitation is "for their safety". That account of mine is still limited. They've also limited the personal account of a friend of mine (who was interestingly enough ex-PayPal) before, also asking for charity information.
