Each country has its own payment application and methods. However, when it comes to international transfers, freelancers will usually get paid through whatever app is globally used. Here is a list of the top 5 payment apps for creative freelancers that will help them easily get paid for overseas design projects.

PayPal

A popular, safe and reliable payment app. Granted, PayPal has its flaws. However, when it comes to creating a payment invoice, safe wallet and escrow services that safely hold your money until you confirm delivery, PayPal is your best bet. PayPal for Business is a great application for freelance artists and designers, especially since it is accepted in most major countries. 

Payoneer

This American finance application provides services like international money transfer payment services. Check to see if your country is on the list where Payoneer operates. If yes, then this can be a good option as most companies have heard of this app and it would be easy for them to use as a payment tool for freelancers.

World Remit

World Remit is an American Money Transfer application that currently has 50 countries where it works easily. It is very likely that this list might extend as time goes by. If you are working on a design project with a company on this list, using this app should be no problem at all. 

Apple/ Google Pay

Apple and Google Pay are wallet services where you can transfer money to a place where these applications are accepted forms of payment. However, the features and functions of both Apple and Google Pay can differ from country to country. Simply make sure that international payments through your wallet are possible before you and the company decide to transact through these apps. 

Cash App

The Cash App is currently only available in the United States and the United Kingdom. Money transfers through this app are simple and seamless. The obvious shortcoming is that it is not available in many countries. However, here’s hoping the list of countries expands and gives freelance creatives another payment app option they can rely on. 

Special mentions include Revolut, Transfer Wise, Remitly and Western Union Funds Transfer. As always, regardless of which payment app you use, every employer and creative designer should use these apps with caution. Read the terms and conditions and test using the app with small amounts before using them for bigger transactions. In a global economy, these payment apps for creative freelancers have truly become a necessity.
