Aff Choice can not pay me in USA / CA

[allfreechips]

So I never really had an issue that I could not be paid but i added Aff Choice a couple months ago and now have a 4K Euro balance but they say i need top open a European (non German) bank account to get paid! Never ran into this before, any suggestions?

Thanks
Chris

I just want to make a suggestion. If you have a Bitcoin account (I have one with blockchain.com. it's easy to set one up), then I don't see why they can't pay you there. I know that they don't pay in Bitcoin, but personally, I would talk to my account manager about this and see if they are willing to implement a new Bitcoin payment method for you. The fees are low and it's almost instant to receive your payout. Many casino affiliate programs are paying through Bitcoin.

Only neteller or European bank account is allowed...

Maybe talk with a friend or someone you trust enough that have a neteller account and can take the payment for you?

Does the US have any digital banks that allow you to set up international accounts?

In the UK we have a bunch (transferwise, revolut etc..) that allow you to generate both local and international account details (eg: I have accounts with an EU IBAN and US routing numbers and I'm in the UK).

Pretty sure those brands are UK only but the concept should work if you have an equivalent in the US?

Hmm I don't think so but ill look into it, Would love to open a neteller and EU account under my company

Actually it looks like transferwise operate in the US as well, see here: https://transferwise.com/us/business/

I'm happy to recommend them if you are able to open an account, have been using them for years.

OK I setup a Euro account with my Corporation, this looks amazing and its all free for incomin money, this will be a massive help for many accounts!

Thanks so much!

[baldidiot]

No problem. The exchange rates are fantastic too, so that should also save on the conversion to USD.

[allfreechips]

lol would you believe the EU Account that I created in there is based in Germany, the one country they said they can not do!

[baldidiot]

Ah, no way!

I think they have multiple locations but not sure how you choose between them. This page says they have Germany and Estonia: https://transferwise.com/help/articl.../eur-transfers

So if you can switch to the estonian details somehow that should fix it.

I think i have to await for account verification before i can do much more or add more accounts, but this will be a great help either way.

[allfreechips]

Hmm they want my website and social media info for my business :O

[baldidiot]

Just throw up a 10 minute company site that says you offer b2b marketing services and tell them you don't use social media.

Job done.

[allfreechips]

I was approved, now i just need to figure out how to add more bank locations, I feel im pretty smart and all but I can't figure that out lol, waiting for support to be online but I have a now a German EU account

[allfreechips]

OK si I have a german account, swift, iban the whole works but aff choice will not send to a German account, they are sending from a German account and have not been told why I cant also use a German account, explaining this to my bank sounds very shady. Anyone else use these guys?? Apperently I am the only person with a payment issue.

How many affiliate programs are you with, who didn't have BTC, that you (personally) have managed to have the aff-program make a special allowance for you, and then send you BTC?

I'll take a guess... NONE.

IDK, either way, they specifically told you... You need an EU (non German) bank account, for whatever reason.


@allfreechips - If you have a registered company, you could apply for a Neteller merchant account. I'm pretty sure it's valid for a USA company. Other than that, you can obtain yourself UK registered company, and go that path, to obtain a Neteller Merchant account. If you go the UK route, then you'd also need a UK registered company address. However, that problem is solved with a virtual London (etc) office

Yeah I can see why it could be tricky explaining why you don't want to use the German details to them. Could you perhaps say that the person trying to pay you have been having issues with the details provided and could they use the Estonian account? Could be worth a shot and this is probably seen as a legit request - with our revolut account people sometimes have difficulties with specific Swift codes (ie: if their banks database hasn't been updated).

Alternatively you could generate UK account details in transferwise and have them send to that. You'd have to eat the exchange fee but if it's that or not get it it could be an option (and the rates are probably still better than receiving in neteller and converting once).

Unless they exclude the UK because of the whole brexit thing...

[allfreechips]

I made a UK and Aussi account but they dont come with iban and swift codes, they say use the EU german one for that, and others are for local bank transfers. Ive been doing this since 2004 with hundreds of affiliates, this is the first time i can't get paid!

Re-reading your post Aussi Dave, looking into neteller now if I can do a company account.
