I do not have a Credit Card. The *only* reliable transaction is a
Teletransmission in the currency that you have charged your client. The
client pays for their bank charges their side and you pay bank charges when
you receive the funds. This can take between one day to 6 days depending on
the client and bank. Ask your client to inform you when they have made
arrangements with their bank so you know when to phone your bank for the
Inward Transaction.

The exchange rate changes all the time as you know and you receive what you
have invoiced.

Another way is by Bank Draft, which I used to use, but due to our unreliable
Postal Services and the high Bank Charges, they are no longer accepted.

Teletranmission direct from Bank to Bank is the *only* way, which can be
followed up from the time it has been authorized.

I have searched the APG-L Archives for a simple solution to my problem
(without success.)

I have a new Italian client. How to they make payment for my services?

1. I have read about Ruesch.
2. I do have Credit Card capability. (but not sure if I can accept
international payments)
