Business bank account for self-published author with no international charges

charlibish

I am a self-published author with KDP Amazon and have had to set up a publishing company to 'own' my book. This means I must have a business bank account linked to KDP. My book is available in several countries but when I sell a book internationally, I'm hit with a bank charge which takes all my profit (and more!) from the book sale. Is there a free business bank account that does not charge for international payments into the account?

If its all sold via Amazon don't Amazon offer a FX solution? Exchange rates won't be amazing but should be less painful than the minimum fee charged by a bank.

No, they make you use a business bank account. Thanks, though.

Hi. Not sure of the rules for posting links, but there is a huge amount of information from a very successful hybrid author J.F. Penn/Joanna Penn on her website TheCreativePenn, which is easily searchable.

Under the tools tab, there is a section about multi-currency banking for Amazon payments.

I've not used the service myself, but have been a follower & patron of her for years, & she gives excellent advice about all things writing. Also has a great weekly podcast which is worth a listen.
