I previously share on how to get paid when you make money online and promised, I would reveal to you the 5 important ways you can get paid when you make money online. The ways outlined in this post are tried and tested to work in Kenya for anyone who wants to withdraw money in Kenya Shillings. 

There are several diverse ways that you can get money from the internet into your bacnk account and you may be spoilt for choice when you understand how each of these 5 payment methods work.

1) Direct Connection to your Kenyan Bank Account: This method is discussed in the previous post; if you did not read it you can see it HERE

2) Payoneer: This is one of the easiest ways to get a debit card in Kenya; you can sign up for the debit card and use it immediately by linking it to your Freelancing Account.

3) PayPal: This is regarded as the universal way to pay small payments and to safely pay these amounts. You should have a PayPal account that is simple to open for you to receive the money in your account.

4) Skrill: Formerly known as Money bookers, it is similar with PayPal and very easy to get paid in Kenya. Some freelancing sites and money making websites link directly to this payment method. This is a good way to get money you make online to your local bank account, the same way you can link up other payment methods to your bank account.

5) Western Union: If you have a client who can pay for your service through western union, it is a simple and straightforward way to get money into your bank account. The person making the payment are given a secret question and an answer, they should disclose this to you for you to have the details when you withdraw the money in your local western union branch. You simply walk into the bank, fill the form of the western union withdrawal and make sure to carry the answer to the secret question and the transaction number.

The bank cashier will ask you for the answer to the secret question and the transaction number. The details of the senders are also important to memorize or write them on a paper. You should just write down the address and the name of the sender to disclose it to the bank cashier as you withdraw the money from your local western union branch.

Is it possible to have all these payment methods?

Yes, it is possible to have all these methods to withdraw money that you make money online activated in your account. It is your choice on the best way to withdraw money you make online depending on your preference.

    Which is the Best Method to withdraw money from freelancing sites?

The best method that I have used for years to conveniently withdraw money from freelancing sites in Kenya is Payoneer or PayPal. I would recommend both payment methods for anyone who is withdrawing money from freelancing sites.
