Hi y’all! So, recently more countries are losing access to PayPal, & many content creators/freelancers now have no way to get paid.
To help fellow CCs (& inform clients that these services are also safe to pay to!), I’m sharing some alternatives to PP to consider! 1/?

1. Stripe
Used by Amazon, Google, & other big companies, as well as freelancers (I use this myself!), Stripe is easy to use, trustworthy, & the best alternative for those in Europe & the US due to lower fees. It’s available in 47 countries, but is invitation only in PH, ID & TH.

2. Wise (Transferwise)
Wise has the lowest fees & specialises in secure international trading. It lets you open up bank accounts in different currencies for easier management but this can be a bit fiddly. It’s free to use but to access business features, there’s a paywall.

3. Skrill
Skrill is less well known among businesses but is legally approved and is very trustworthy! The setup is easy and it supports many payment options, but the interface can be a bit bloated, and they charge an account inactivity fee.

4. Payoneer
Payoneer was a popular payment service for companies in the past and is now used by businesses like Fiverr & Adobe. It supports multiple currencies, including HKD, JPY, CNY & SGD, though some may find it too outdated for their needs.

If anyone knows any other good alternative payment services, please let me know, and I’ll research & add it to the list!
Correction with Payoneer!
Their withdrawal speed is actually quite reasonable (2-5 days), though just not instant~ Apologies for the mistake!

Also wanted to clear up another misconception:
None of these payment services will share your bank details with anyone! You just require a bank account to receive the money on the platform
For buyers, you'll need an email for sending invoices to, and a way to pay, as per normal

In the end, it is up to you and your client as to which services, if any, you’re willing to use for transactions~
As always, please do additional research before joining a platform (such as checking what region-based rules/features also apply to you) and stay safe!

I’ll be muting this thread now since there’s a lot of notifs haha, but hope the thread helped!
;;; I’ve gotten a lot of angry DMs about this for some reason so I would like to reiterate:
NONE of these payment services require the client to make an account on that platform to pay!
This has been written in the PROS for each payment service & means exactly what it says~
