How can I get paid from abroad in Yangon?

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 MMK and withdraw.

What does it cost to convert to MMK?

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

Providers serving customers in Myanmar fall under Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM). Banks and payment services in Myanmar must be authorised by the Central Bank of Myanmar, which also controls foreign exchange and cross-border transfer rules.
