How can I get paid from abroad in Edmonton?

A global payment account gives you account details in currencies such as USD, EUR or GBP, so clients and marketplaces can pay you locally in their country. You then convert to CAD and withdraw.

What does it cost to convert to CAD?

Costs are the conversion margin plus any withdrawal fee to your local bank in Canada. Compare both, as they vary a lot between providers.

Check whether the provider is a CDIC-member bank and what protections apply.
