Skydo vs PayPal

PayPal is recognized globally and is suitable for smaller, one-off transactions, while another platform may be cheaper and faster for high-value international payments.

  • Fees and Exchange Rates: PayPal charges an upfront transaction fee of around 4.4% plus an additional ~4% currency conversion markup. Another platform may charge a flat fee with zero forex markup.
  • Compliance and Documentation: Some platforms provide instant, free, per-transaction Foreign Inward Remittance Advice (FIRA) and automated Electronic Bank Realization Certificate (eBRC) to ease GST and RBI compliance. PayPal issues weekly digital FIRA statements, but eBRC is not directly automated and requires manual processing through your bank.
  • Payout Speed and Convenience: Certain platforms settle funds directly into your local Indian bank account within one business day. PayPal takes 1 to 3 business days to auto-withdraw and convert funds into INR after they land in your account.
