How can I receive payments from my US client

Question

Accepted Answer

You can receive payments from US clients through several reliable methods, each with its own advantages.

Skydo: An RBI-authorised platform specifically designed for Indian exporters and freelancers, offering fast transfers, competitive exchange rates, and low fees, making it one of the most cost-effective ways to receive international payments.
Direct bank transfer (SWIFT): Your US client can wire funds directly to your Indian bank account, though SWIFT transfers often involve higher intermediary fees and take longer to process.
Wise: A popular option for receiving USD with transparent fees, though transfer times and costs can vary depending on the payment method your client uses.
PayPal: Widely recognized and easy to use, but charges relatively higher conversion fees when transferring to Indian bank accounts.
Payoneer: Offers receiving accounts in multiple currencies and integrates well with freelance platforms, though withdrawal fees apply.
