Links from Payment Methods Presentation
Below are the links (and slides!) from Eve Bodeux’s presentation at the American Translators Association 51st Annual Conference in Denver, CO on International and Domestic Payment Methods from October 28, 2010.
The goal of the presentation was to suggest and discuss new options for transferring money internationally for payments to/from global customers (whether you are the client or the vendor) and how to minimize fees and exchange rate costs in doing so. These ideas should help you assess your own unique needs for this task and create a strategic and money-saving approach to this task.
