Conversion accounts are available in Canada

Why this matters

Local payment challenges in Canada

  • US SaaS teams run ACH payroll; Canada freelancers need a bridge before local deposit.
  • Cross-border fees and FX can shrink USD invoices headed to CAD accounts.
  • Payout status stays unclear while funds move between banking systems.
