01 · Cash flow
Freelancers run on predictable payouts
When payments arrive late or with surprise fees, freelancers pay the price. A good setup is less about novelty and more about reliability: clear timing, transparent costs, and simple reconciliation.
Milestone-to-milestone
One delayed payout can force bill juggling, subcontractor delays, or paused growth.
Opaque status
“Payment sent” from a client does not mean usable funds, especially across borders.
Fee stacking
Wire fees, intermediary cuts, and FX markups eat margin you already earned.
Admin drag
Chasing confirmations and reconciling scattered statements steals billable hours.
02 · Invoice USD
USD is the default for global client work
For cross-border freelancers, invoicing in USD reduces pricing friction and avoids renegotiations caused by exchange rate swings. The challenge is receiving those dollars smoothly as a non-US resident.
Price in USD for US clients
Dollar invoicing matches how US companies budget and reduces renegotiation from FX swings.
One template, every project
Consistent line items, payment terms, and bank details cut back-and-forth before money moves.
Build visible costs in
Clients accept clear fees more easily than surprise deductions after “payment sent.”
03 · Receive ACH
Get paid like a local, from anywhere
A conversion account gives US clients bank details they already understand. You receive ACH without expensive wire workflows or complex banking arrangements.
Open a conversion account
SwiftFi gives you US-friendly account and routing numbers without US residency.
Share details on every invoice
Clients pay with everyday ACH from their bank or accounting platform, no wire exceptions.
