Video Description
If you’re a freelancer getting paid from abroad, you’re probably losing money to bad exchange rates without noticing it. In this video, I break down how currency conversion really works and why banks and PayPal quietly take a cut every time you get paid.
I show a simple comparison between PayPal and Wise, explain what the mid-market rate is, and why Wise lets you keep more of your hard-earned money. I also talk about holding USD, converting only when rates are good, and using Wise with cards and Google Pay here in the Philippines.
