Which PayPal account is best for receiving money

If you receive international payments regularly, the best account depends on your priorities around speed, cost, and compliance. Here are the top options for Indian freelancers and exporters:

• Skydo: RBI-authorised and purpose-built for Indian exporters and freelancers, Skydo typically offers the fastest transfers and among the most competitive rates for inbound international payments, with full regulatory compliance.
• PayPal: Widely accepted globally but charges higher fees on currency conversion and withdrawals to Indian bank accounts, making it less cost-effective for regular receipt of funds.
• Wise: Transparent mid-market exchange rates and lower fees than PayPal, though transfer times can vary and it operates as a money transfer service rather than a dedicated exporter platform.
• Direct bank SWIFT transfer: Traditional method through your existing bank, though it can be slower and involve intermediary charges that reduce the amount you receive.
