Getting paid for a US contract? (self.personalfinancecanada)

submitted 2 years ago by SheerDumbLuck to c/personalfinancecanada

I did a short contract with an entity in the US and am trying to figure out how they can pay me. I have a business and a Canadian business account.

Is there a recommended low risk/effort service I should use? I am in Ontario if that matters.

I've been using Wise.com for these kind of things: their multi currency account allows you to get a US account number that your client can use to pay you with a standard ACH transfer, like they would pay an employee.

I've been using that with US and Euro zone clients for years and never had a problem.

Thanks! Wise seems to be the common advice here and elsewhere, so I'll do that. Appreciate it.
