Ask HN: What's a better way to send USD to GBP than PayPal?
I have a client who will be paying for my services in USD, but I want to convert it to GBP. Paypal is going to take ~3% (!!) if I use them. Any other ideas?
- mschuster91 14y agoBitcoins, with the added bonus that you can use them for speculation
- xauronx 14y agoSeems like a direct bank transfer might be your best choice. At least that's the route I'm taking right now.
- rush-tea 14y agowire transfer usually pays about ~$35 per transaction. So if 3% paypal fee is greater than wire transfer, then use wire, if not, paypal is your only choice. if you are able to save the money then do a lump sum, you can even save more vs weekly transfer. I calculate it for you. If the amount sent is larger than US$1200 per transaction, you better of using wire transfer than paypal.
