Imagine finally landing a well-paying gig, putting in all the work to deliver a top-notch result to your client, only to start stressing about how to receive the compensation for your labour. This experience may be familiar to many freelancers in Morocco who rely on traditional banks for international payments.
Traditional banking systems in Morocco are often slow, expensive, and not optimised for international transactions. While freelancing in Morocco continues to grow, freelancers still have to face these hassles. For a seamless freelancing experience, a more modern, flexible, and affordable alternative is needed.
That’s where Grey comes in. Grey is a cross-border payment platform designed specifically for freelancers and remote workers in Morocco. In this article, we’ll explore how freelancers in Morocco can switch from traditional banks to Grey, step by step.

Before diving into the how-to, here’s why so many Moroccan freelancers are choosing Grey over conventional banks:
Unlike traditional banks that take 3–7 business days to complete international transactions, Grey offers swift payment processing.
As a freelancer working with international clients, you might have to juggle between foreign currencies. This isn't easy with traditional banks, as you might have to open and process separate accounts for each currency, if at all the bank supports that. Grey, instead, offers a multicurrency account where you can obtain USD, EUR, and GBP account details for free and online.
