I dont know if it’s common in other countries, but Canadian banks offer USD denominated accounts. From the wording, it seems like only if you are paying USD into a US bank account you pay the fee. Presumably paying USD into a non US bank account (in USD) wouldn’t incur this fee. At least I’d hope so!

Hmm, you’re right about the wording, but the alternate currencies page doesn’t seem to differentiate between where the bank account is based:

Here in Australia we’re charged the 1% fee for USD payouts even though the account is with a local bank.
