Hi h3cate, Thanks for your comment. There is nothing wrong with bank transfers, and I use this method myself. As explained in another comment, a bank wire is a great solution for domestic payments, but it can be very expensive for international ones. In a real scenario, if you require up to $1000, a tool like Wirize can be cheaper than a traditional bank wire, because it doesn't have fixed costs, and you pay just a small fee per transaction.
