Best payment method

[roberty1y]

Could anyone tell me what is the cheapest and most direct way to have my UW earnings paid into my bank account? 

I was using PayPal, and then they put a block on transfers to my bank account. I mistakenly entered the wrong PIN when trying to open my account page online to find the code they sent me to unblock payments. It took half a day of calling various customer care centres to finally get back into my account and authorize transfers from PayPal. Never again.

You likely have "direct to local bank"

Personally I find PayPal cheaper though.

Thanks. I do see people talking about IBAN numbers here a lot, I thought that might be cheaper if it's available to me.

And you think it's no cheaper than PayPal?

For me it isn't.

Try it with the same amount (say withdraw $200 to each) and see what you end up with.

Yes, I'll give it a try and calculate the commission and see how it compares with PayPal's. Thanks for your advice, as always.
