Hey, I’m a UK resident and planning to DevEx to a Wise USD account via Direct Deposit / ACH (Tipalti charges a flat $1 fee and no fees from Wise). I prefer holding funds in USD so I can control when I convert, especially with USD not performing great right now.
I haven’t DevExed yet, so I wanted to ask:
Has anyone here successfully used Wise + ACH for DevEx?
Did you run into any delays or issues?
Are there other DevEx methods you’d recommend to maximise value (fees / FX control)?
Yes, Wise USD via ACH works for DevEx for UK developers as long as Wise provides valid ACH details and your legal name matches exactly; first payouts can be slower, but it’s one of the best options to minimize fees and keep full control over USD conversion timing. I wouldn’t take my word for it and I would reccomend doing some research first. Hope this helps.
My DevEx went through to my Wise USD balance, Tipalti only changed a $1 fee ( ACH payment method )
Now, I plan on using Interactive Banks to exchange the USD into my preferred currency as they only have a $1 fee, you can exchange through Wise too, their fees are very quite low.
Side note: If you don’t see the option ‘Payment Country’ in Tipalti, you will have to email Roblox to give you access to other currencies.
Great to hear that it worked. Could you please let me know the steps you followed to achieve this, for example the payment method, currency you selected or any extra information you needed to provide. Thanks!
