# Paying Freelancers with Abillio Pro: Supported Countries and Fees

If you’re an **Abillio Pro** user, it’s important to know where you can send payments to freelancers, depending on the currency you’re using. Here’s a breakdown of supported countries and costs when paying in **USD** or **EUR**.

## **Paying freelancers in USD** 

If you plan to pay your freelancers in **USD**, check [**this list of supported countries and regions**](https://wise.com/help/articles/2974947/what-countries-and-regions-can-i-send-usd-to-via-swift) to ensure their location is eligible. If the country isn’t listed, unfortunately, you won’t be able to process payments to them via Abillio.

#### **How Much Does It Cost?**

Sending money in **USD**—especially outside the **Euro SEPA zone**—can be costly due to multiple bank fees. Here’s a breakdown of potential charges:

*   **Abillio’s banking partner** applies a fee ranging from **$1 to $18** per transaction.
*   **The receiving bank** may deduct an additional fee of **up to $20** from the freelancer’s payment.
*   This means the freelancer could receive **up to $38 less** than the original payment amount.

Since these fees are imposed by banks and not Abillio, we have no control over them. However, to ensure your freelancer receives their full payment, you may want to **add the estimated bank fees to their next payment**.

#### **How long does it take for freelancers to receive the payment?**

SWIFT payments can take up to 7 business days. For US based accounts 1-2 business days (ACH).

## **Paying freelancers in Euro**

If you’re paying freelancers in **EUR**, transactions are processed under the **SEPA payment scheme**. To see the list of supported countries, check [**this list**](https://www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/sites/default/files/kb/file/2024-11/EPC409-09%20EPC%20List%20of%20SEPA%20Scheme%20Countries%20v5.0.pdf). If a country isn’t listed, Abillio unfortunately cannot process payments there.

#### **How Much Does It Cost?**

Payments within the **SEPA zone** are significantly cheaper, typically costing **up to €1 per transaction**.
