Alternatives to PayPal for receiving money?
Somebody in the U.S. needs to send money to me in Australia, but they're having trouble with Paypal. Are there any good alternatives?
- trextrex 12y agoMost of the banks allow direct transfer to another (international) account with a BIC and IBAN number. Western Union is also an option, albeit expensive.

- DonaldH 12y agoHave you used xoom before? It looks like they're making a lot of money on the exchange rate.
- jacquesm 12y agoBetter expensive than unavailable. Banks are probably cheapest (but they also make a lot of money on the exchange rate), WU and Xoom are more expensive but will reach a lot of weird places. If you can't use international banking then this may be a viable option for you.
