Payment Methods

There are several ways to pay, ranked from most to least preferred:

• Wise-to-Wise Transfer: The best method is a free Wise-to-Wise transfer in your local currency. If you don't have a Wise account, you'll need to create one, complete a one-time verification, then load funds via a local bank transfer and finally make the payment, which is instant. .

• Local Bank Transfer: Our second choice is a direct transfer to our local bank account from your country, which is managed by Wise. This option also has little to no fees for you and none for us. Please, do not opt for SWIFT transfers, as this incur a $15-$50 charge. Payments typically arrive within 1-3 business days. We can use the mid-market exchange rates from xe.com to convert your payment from USD to your local currency. Once you submit the booking form and select this option, we will provide our local bank details. 

• Western Union: You can also use Western Union. The funds are transferred directly to our local bank account. It may take 1-5 business days, depending on the specific details and processing times of the banks involved. 

• Credit/Debit Card (Payoneer): This is our least preferred option due to significant fees. Payoneer charges a 4% processing fee for Visa and MasterCard (and more for others), plus a 2% fee for us to withdraw the funds. You can pay up to $300 by card without us charging you the withdrawal fee. For any amount exceeding $300, you will be responsible for both the 4% processing fee and the 2% withdrawal fee we must pay. 

• bKash: If you are already in Bangladesh, you can use bKash. You can go to any bKash agent center and directly pay to our bKash account. In this case, you need to add 2% transfer fee on top of the payment amount. Alternatively, you can deposit the payment to our bank account. No fee is required. However, for bank deposite, you need to show or submit the photocopy of your passport.
