twitter.com/DanielMicay/st To go along with this, PayPal has been repeatedly freezing transfers of contract income to my account for the past few months. Interac e-Transfers work alright for transfers within Canada although the arbitrary limits on transfers are often very painful.

I was reluctantly selling Bitcoin through QuadrigaCX due to lack of decent exchanges available to Canadians. I would have used Coinbase but they dropped support fiat withdrawals in Canada. Since I didn't trust them, I kept the value there at < 1k USD by doing it at a slow pace.

Google's approach of sending wire transfers is terrible since you end up being charged $20 in fees and 2.5% currency conversion fees. I got rid of the conversion fee by giving them the RBC US branch information with a USD account but I still lose $20 from each bug bounty payment.

They recently sent $200 for a small finding so 10% was wiped out by fees. It's also incredibly annoying needing to convert large batches of money from USD -> CAD via an ETF since our banks won't provide a reasonable currency conversion rate or a no annual fee USD credit card...
