Do you receive payments from abroad? Find out how a financial platform can simplify your life

More and more people are working with clients or companies from other countries. Whether as a freelancer, freelancer, digital nomad or just as someone living outside your home country - receiving payments from abroad can be a frequent and often complicated need.

Have you ever had an international payment held up without explanation? Or that you have to wait days (or weeks) for your money to be available? If it sounds familiar, this article is for you.

We are going to tell you how a digital financial platform like BNKA works, and why it can be your best ally to manage international collections with more freedom, less unexpected costs and without wasting time.

1. Why receiving payments from abroad can be a problem?

When you rely on traditional methods of charging from another country (such as conventional bank accounts, SWIFT transfers or payment platforms with multiple intermediaries), it is very common to encounter:

  • Long waiting times
    International transfers can take between 3 and 10 business days.
  • High hidden commissions
    Sometimes you get charged a commission when you send... and another when you receive. There may even be additional costs if there is currency conversion.
  • Errors in data
    A wrong number or a poorly completed field can slow down the operation or cause it to fail
  • Geographical or legal limitations
    There are countries that make it difficult to receive funds from abroad, especially if you do not have a local residence or local bank account.


Due to all of this, many people are looking for new ways to receive their income: faster, clearer and more adapted to the digital world.

2. What is a digital financial platform like BNKA?

BNKA is a global wallet: a financial app designed to help you receive, manage and move your money in a simple, secure and 100% online way.

Through collaborations with regulated entities in Europe, BNKA allows you to have a European IBAN (issued by one of those entities), which you can use to receive international payments in euros, similar to how some digital accounts work in the euro zone.

But unlike a traditional bank account, there is no unnecessary bureaucracy, no commissions, and you do everything from your mobile.

3. How does the process work to receive money from abroad?

Suppose you work as a freelance designer for an agency in Europe and need to charge your services at EUR. With BNKA, you can safely charge that payment and have full control over what to do with your money.

The process is like this:

  1. You create your profile from the BNKA app, without complex or unnecessary paperwork.
  2. You receive EUR in your digital space, thanks to the integration of BNKA with international payment networks and digital assets.
  3. Once the funds are available in your account, you can:
    1. Convert them to euros, to use them in your day to day life - pay rent, services, etc.
    2. Withdraw them in soles or pesos to a local account or through the options available in the app.
    3. Or simply, save them to your balance for later use when you need it.

This whole process is done directly from your app, without intermediaries that make the operation complex or charge surprises in commissions.

4. Advantages of using a digital wallet to receive international payments

✔️
Forget eternal waits. Movements are reflected quickly, especially when they come from within Europe.

✔️
What you see is what there is: you can check the available balance and the movements from your app at all times.

✔️ No commissions
BNKA doesn't charge you surprise fees for receiving money. We also don't force you to convert coins if you don't want to.

✔️
The services are backed by regulated entities in Europe and protected with advanced encryption.

✔️
You don’t need to visit offices or rely on a business hour. Everything is managed from your mobile.

5. Who is the BNKA solution for?

  • Freelancers working with clients abroad.
  • Remote professionals who receive their salary from Europe or other regions.
  • Migrants who want to keep their money in euros or move funds to their countries without complications.
  • People with family abroad who need to receive or send money directly and reliably.

6. What makes BNKA different from other options?

Unlike other platforms, BNKA is not presented as a bank or a traditional financial institution, but as a digital space to manage your money in a modern, clear and flexible way.

We operate in collaboration with regulated entities that issue the IBAN and provide the service in accordance with the European electronic money regulations. This allows us to offer security and trust, without false promises or confusing technicalities.

Also, you don’t have to worry about the fine print:
There are no interests, no hidden commissions and you don’t need a bank history to get started.
