Why Chilean freelancers should open US, UK, and EU bank accounts

• Faster payments – International clients within these regions prefer transferring funds to local accounts in their region, speeding up the process.
• Lower exchange costs – Converting USD, GBP, or EUR to Chilean Peso (CLP) can result in high fees through traditional banks. A foreign account helps keep those costs down.
• Improved client trust – Many clients feel more confident working with freelancers who have  US, UK, or EU bank accounts ensuring transactions are smoother.
• Access to more freelance opportunities – Certain platforms prioritise freelancers with international payment options, opening doors to more global projects.
