many of us don't have a choice if we are going to work in this biz. The bank I have been using for many years (1 of 2 in my town) does not have a SWIFT Code.... as shocking as that may be it is the truth. as for paper checks I had one sent to me a little over a year ago. The money came from Europe and was issued/printed from the New Jersey branch of the RBS...
My bank took one look at it and called it a scam check and would not touch it, not even check cashing places would accept it because it 'looked funny'... yeah I need to move to civilization but until then the best way for me to get paid is by Paxum. I just the funds on the day it goes into my account.

Their current methods are not regular or customary in certain countries like the United States. I can get a bank account here with less documentation than what Paxum wants. I can also deal with the government too without having to submit half of what they require.
Don't treat me as if I am in the Ukraine and new to the industry.

I would love to get ACH but since for the last 7 years I have been working with companies located in the EU I cant get it. I have talked to my bank several times about getting a SWIFT Code and they just kind of cock their head at me like a dog hearing a whistle... I swear their ears move up
