A US bank account will give US customers the easiest way to pay. Real banks have to comply with regulations so they seem less prone to random holds and delays and hassles.

By extension a local account in countries you do business in will give customers the easiest way to pay.

I use Wise and PayPal sometimes for sending money, but I don’t trust those companies enough to hold lots of money in those accounts, or to receive important payments from customers. They seem to make up their own opaque rules as they go and users don’t have much recourse. My banks have to comply with US regulations.
