Bank transfer fees


Panthera tigris

Question

For those who get paid by bank transfer, what are the bank charges like for:

 

a) a UK bank account

b) a US bank account

 

Thanks, trying to figure if one is better than the other to use. Have been using PayPal and now just changed to Skrill but not 100% sure what their fees are like and looking for cheapest way to get paid. Paypal was OK because I could just buy meals, goods, etc with it. Skrill is a bit of a dead end for me as its not much used in Asia so may have to fork out an additional 2% to transfer to my bank as well.

I am a UK citizen living in the UK with Alamy payments to my UK bank account with no bank charges. This is the norm here.

Perhaps US payments go through Alamy's  NY (Brooklyn) office.

 

I've never had charges and Alamy didn't have a Brooklyn office when I joined. From other postings I gather than some people do run into bank charges here.

I guess that in the US it depends on the bank. Canadian banks charge fees for just about everything -- at least $15 for international wire transfers IME.

 

When I used to get old fashioned cheques (a.k.a. "checks") from Alamy, I seem to recall that they came from Albany NY. Can't remember the wherefore or the why at this point, though.

That would make sense, because if I swift (from overseas) to a US bank I get charges but if I ABA to transfer from one US bank to another I don't see any charges upfront.
