Cheapest way to receive USD in India

The most affordable methods to receive USD in India balance low fees, competitive exchange rates, and speed.

  • Skydo: An RBI-authorised platform built specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers, offering flat transfer fees that start at USD 19 plus GST per payment, competitive exchange rates, and typically faster processing than traditional banks, making it one of the most cost-effective ways to receive international payments.
  • Direct bank transfer (SWIFT): Works through your existing bank but often involves higher intermediary and receiving bank charges, plus less favorable conversion rates.
  • Wise: Known for transparent pricing and mid-market exchange rates, though fees vary based on transfer size and method.
  • PayPal: Widely accepted but charges currency conversion fees of around 3% to 4% above the base rate.
  • Payoneer: Popular among freelancers, though fees apply for withdrawals to Indian bank accounts.
