Many Filipino freelancers work with international clients who pay in USD, but finding the best way to receive and withdraw payments without high fees can be challenging.
Common problems include:
❌ PayPal’s high fees (4%+ on every transaction).
❌ Long withdrawal times for bank transfers.
❌ Poor exchange rates that reduce earnings.
Fortunately, freelancers in the Philippines can now receive USD and withdraw to GCash or Maya quickly and at lower fees using Parallax.

✔ PayPal – High fees, but some clients require it.
