Guru.com Introduces New Payment Options for International Professionals

Pittsburgh, PA - Guru.com (www.guru.com), the world’s largest online marketplace for freelance talent, announced that it has introduced new payment options to its SafePay system that expedite payments to international professionals. Employers use Guru.com’s SafePay system to pay freelance professionals they hire through the Guru.com online marketplace.

In addition to the current international payment options of check and PayPal, Guru.com has added Remit2India (for professionals in India) and international wire transfers (for international professionals outside of India) as additional payment options. The new payment options will allow international professionals to have their payments deposited directly into their bank accounts in one of over 25 international currencies.

We’ve added these payment options to better address the needs of our international professionals and to facilitate the process of global outsourcing for employers using Guru.com, remarked Inder Guglani, Guru.com’s CEO and Co-Founder. Our international professionals can now select the payment option that is the most convenient and cost effective for them. International professionals who in the past had problems receiving payments in US dollars can now receive payments in their own local currencies.

Both free (Basic) and subscribing (Guru) international professionals can select their preferred international payment option. To further help minimize transaction costs, international professionals can now choose to consolidate multiple invoice payments into one payment that they receive at a specified future date.
