Bank transfer Jan 9, 2014

Quick, free and easy ... I won't accept payments any other way!

Bank transfer Jan 9, 2014

It involves no extra effort on my part. I am open to negotiation, though.

(I see that 'cash' was not an option. Actually, I have a booking for an interpreting assignment next week and I have negotiated an immediate cash payment at the end of the assignment in return for a discount. That is a pretty good option for me, too!)

The most reliable method even though bank transfer fees are incurred in banks over here, which are especially high at 4,000 yen for international bank transfers. ($1=105 yen, you do the math!)

Anyone for 'gold bars and diamonds' as another option?

Or Skrill, because I don't have a Paypal account. I don't have a credit card (as a requirement to create a Paypal account) and wouldn't like to have it.

Often Jan 9, 2014

Often - and on time - was my immediate response.

Bank transfer is the option I chose in the poll, although PayPal is acceptable on occasion.

One wonderful thing about the eurozone is that very low bank transfer fees apply throughout the zone.

In fact, there are no fees at all for transfers within the euro zone!

Bank transfer Jan 9, 2014

Direct online transfers entail no charges or commissions for me, so that's my preference. I can also use Paypal if necessary.

Or Skill. The least favourite option is Paypal, because I have to bear the fees.

Often and right on time are my preferences as well.

Bank transfer is my preferred method. Despite its high fees, I also use PayPal for clients outside the Euro zone. This year I intend to open a Translators Pay account. Hopefully my cliernts will accept it.

Looking at my bank statements from the Bank of Cyprus here in the eurozone, I see that I am charged nothing for incoming transfers from other eurozone countries but there is a 'transfer commission' of five euros for making outgoing transfers within the zone, so I think that is only partially true.

Not in Croatia Jan 9, 2014

When my client pays all fees, my bank (PBZ, member of Intesa Group) still takes 6.50 EUR for "incoming funds fee" from every transaction. And all banks in Croatia do the same if you have a business account (some of them charge even 10.00 EUR).
Hence minimum fees. If I charged someone 4.00 EUR, I'd lose money.
