What this does▾
Some payment methods make it harder to get paid, keep records, or recover money if something goes wrong.
Common risks include:
- Hard to dispute: little you can do if the client won’t pay
- Slow access: money held for weeks, or extra verification steps
- Hidden fees: transfers and currency conversion can take 10–15% of your pay
- Payment reversals: a client may pull money back after you already delivered
