Why Pakistan 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 PKR through traditional banks can result in hefty charges. Having a foreign account helps avoid excessive conversion costs.
• Credibility with global clients – Many clients prefer working with freelancers who have US, UK, or EU bank accounts, making transactions seamless.
• Access to more freelance jobs –  Some freelance platforms prioritise payouts in USD, GBP or EUR
