Online companies are increasingly employing contractors, affiliates, freelancers and publishers from other countries as a part of their businesses. This has created a need for affiliate payroll. Affiliate commissions can be paid through bank checks and international wire transfers. For these types of payments, the recipient must have a bank account, wait several hours to several days for transfer completion, or several weeks for an international check to clear. There are fees for each transfer and the payee must maintain bank accounts with US affiliated banks, usually with regular and substantial fees. Especially in developing countries like Brazil, Russia, India and China, payments are even more complicated as locals may not readily have bank accounts with US affiliated banks, and the international wire transfers and check processing can reach $20-$40.
