Hello,

I work with a designer in the Philippines whom can only accept payment from me via bank to bank wire transfer.

We use c2it.com for the transaction w/fees of only $10.

Problem is this method of payment for her is sometimes very slow to process by her bank.

PayPal does not support accounts in Philippines last she told me.

Question: Does anyone know of any solutions, or "creative" ways a Philippine based business can accept other methods of payment, preferrably credit card payment?

She has a personal visa, mastercard, checking account, etc...

Thanks in advance.

She could get a non-resident US bank account with a mastercard debit card, you could transfer the money into this very quickly and she could withdraw it using the mastercard debit card from any atm. You might want to look at http://www.thebancorp.com/

Adrian,

Thanks for the reference. Briefly looked into the service, and it looks like a very promising and legitimate alternative.

Regards.

I guess one downside would be the bank fees. But if she is emplyed by you regularly then it could be cost effective.
