Bank wire transfers typically take 3-5 business days for international transactions, while services like PayPal and Stripe can make funds available within 1-2 business days. Wise transfers usually arrive within 1-3 business days depending on the currency route. When agreeing payment terms with international clients, factor in these processing times so you know when to expect funds after completing an event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Verify customer information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From whatever country or client you are receiving payment from, and whether you choose to use a service or direct bank transfer when accepting international payments, it is essential that you ensure that you verify your customers&#8217; information, such as their name, address, and contact details, to minimize the risk of fraud or disputes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might even request a phone picture of a government ID for large transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be mindful of fees and charges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether using a payment service or not, international payments may come with additional fees and charges, such as transaction fees, currency conversion fees, and receiving costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understand the fee structure of your chosen payment methods and factor them into your pricing or budgeting to avoid unexpected costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"wallet\" class=\"wp-image-350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.gigheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wallet-gc06f834f0_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use a multi-currency account<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you regularly work at international events, consider opening a multi-currency account with a provider like Wise or Revolut Business. These accounts let you hold funds in multiple currencies, so you can receive payments in your client&#8217;s local currency and convert them when exchange rates are favourable &#8211; rather than being forced to convert immediately at a potentially unfavourable rate. This can save you a significant amount over time, especially if you work across several different markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be aware of compliance regulations and requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever you are in the world, it&#8217;s important that you pay attention to the local rules and regulations for taking payments internationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in the UK, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/know-your-customer-guidance\/know-your-customer-guidance-accessible-version\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gov.uk<\/a> website states that international payments may have compliance requirements, including anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and data protection laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that your event business complies with these regulations to avoid legal or financial risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have a clear refund policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>International transactions can come with increased risks, especially regarding refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a clear refund policy in place and communicate it to your customers to manage expectations and avoid potential disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important that your refund policy is clearly stated in any contracts you make your clients sign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seek professional advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are new to international payments or have complex business requirements, it&#8217;s always advisable to seek professional advice from financial or legal experts who can guide you through the process and help you make informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accountancy firms, governmental departments, and many more authorities can provide the information you&#8217;re after &#8211; but it is important to get your advice from a reputable source. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you have any advice on taking international payments?
