Getting Paid for Tutoring

[Pronghorn]

Now that my child has graduated, I have been tutoring. And now, of course, my tutoring has moved online. People used to hand me checks to pay me, but now I need to get paid electronically. What is the best way to do that? My clients all bank at different places, so I need something flexible and not bank-specific. And I'd rather not pay fees.

Possibly with PayPal? They have different types of accounts and you may need to get a Business account to protect yourself and your clients.

See if your bank has Zelle. 

They can also send you a check via BillPay through their bank (the bank mails you a check).

They can mail you checks. 

You may be able to do Venmo. 

PayPal.

If they're willing to use Venmo, it's super easy and no fees.

I use paypal. I have a business account. Venmo and most of the free services are not supposed to be used for business.
