Invoice question. If an agency pays me via wire transfer, how do I avoid paying their outgoing bank fee (my bank doesn’t charge me for incoming)? Can I add a line in the invoice to cover this?

Not sure if this helps but you could suggest an ACH transfer instead. It’s not as immediate but usually there aren’t fees.

Good idea. I was wondering if you could specify that. Thanks.

ACH instead.
