Stop Losing Money on International Payments — practical tips for African freelancers
A US$1,000 invoice rarely arrives as US$1,000. Between the wire fee, the exchange rate and the forced conversion on landing, African freelancers routinely lose 5–7% of what they earn — and often don't know where it went.
In this free 45-minute live session, hosted with African Freelancers, Storspay's Chief Technology Officer Bhavneesh Goyal — the engineer who built the platform — walks through the four decisions that decide how much of your money you keep, then shows a freelancer account live.
What you'll learn:
The two numbers that decide what you keep — the fee and the rate — and a 30-second way to check both
How to put USD, EUR, GBP or CAD account details in your own name on an invoice, so clients in the US, EU, UK and Canada pay you like a local supplier
When to hold a hard-currency balance and when to convert
How to cash out to your own bank or mobile money at one all-in rate, and pay a collaborator in another African country without a wire
Who it's for: developers, designers, writers, marketers, virtual assistants, consultants and small agencies in Africa who invoice clients abroad.
You'll take away: the "true cost of getting paid" checklist (PDF), the session recording, and free country guides for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.
