Would like to check with you all the best way to receive USD.

Wise USD account mentioned There’s a 4.14 USD fee to receive wire transfers.

If I get the payer to transfer to Saving MYR account in Malaysia, would it be cheaper ? I assume no charge when payer bear the SWIFT cost?

Don't look at fees. Look at final amount you will received. If it's from 3rd party you cannot control how you received it.

If you can control how you receive it avoid banks

I can either give them my wise USD account, or Maybank MYR account.
Just not too sure which 1 is cheaper.

So your advise is to avoid bank account?

Yes. But wise can only hold rm20k. I myself use wise to get USD cashback from my online shopping.

Got it, will stick with wise then.
Will look for other alternative if really need to hold > 20k

You can directly receive USDs using MCA account like Maybank/Citibank. But, to exchange into RM is a problem, which is what I am facing. sad.gif

But is there any charges incurred for bank?

For example payer send USD 1k, but may be receive only USD 950 x the high exchange rate by the bank..
