We use Wise but their USD accounts are US-domiciled. So we have 3 options:
- Continue paying out to Wise and incur an additional 1% fee (~$30k per year)
- Use Stripe for currency conversion which is additional 2% fee (~$60k per year
- Find a UK-domiciled USD account to pay out to. Might be possible - no idea really. Need to look into it.
Run a business here, oh and we use Baremetrics too. To be 100% clear we never want to call you or Brian.
Listen to your customers here.
If there are people that want a call, offer the option, but please don't force it. And don't do sneaky updates to your terms which make this a requirement.
Long time customer of Baremetrics here. And this shady practice is really really offputting, to the extent where we are now looking into cancelling (without a phone call, of course)
The app certainly does take into account transfer times between lines. If you also require accessible transport it'll further take into account the transfer times by measuring the amount of lifts you need to take.
Point being, lots of companies offer options on the 4 year vest, 1 year cliff in order to keep great employees. If the end result is that mediocre employees end up hanging around, not motivated, then it works for neither the employee, nor the business.
