Why Indian freelancers need to open US, UK, and EU bank accounts

Here’s why opening foreign accounts in the US, UK, and EU can be beneficial:

• Faster payments – International clients prefer sending payments to local accounts in their regions, which speeds up processing times.
• Lower transaction fees – Converting USD, GBP, or EUR to INR through traditional banks can result in hefty charges. Having a foreign account helps avoid excessive conversion costs.
• Credibility with international clients – Some clients may feel more comfortable working with a freelancer who has a US, UK or EU bank account.
• Access to more freelance jobs – Some freelance platforms and job boards prioritise payouts in USD, GBP or EUR
