Set Up Banking
Open a Wise Business account for multi-currency holding and receiving. Add Revolut for card spending abroad. Keep your home country account for tax payments and local obligations.

Build Your Invoicing Workflow
Use Wave or Invoice Ninja for free invoicing with multi-currency support. Always invoice in the client's currency unless your contract specifies otherwise. Include payment terms clearly.

:PATH
Optimize Payment Receipt
Give clients your Wise local account details in their country. This means they send a domestic transfer and you receive internationally with no wire fees on their end.

:CHECKLIST
Freelancer Banking Checklist
[ ] Wise Business account open and verified
[ ] Local account details set up for each client currency
[ ] Invoicing template with clear payment terms
[ ] Payment tracking in a simple spreadsheet or tool

Never use PayPal as your primary international payment method. Fees and currency conversion rates are significantly worse than Wise or direct bank transfers for business amounts.
