SFI Payments in Kenya?

[happymom]

I have an SFI affiliate who want to know if she will be receiving her checks by mail in Kenya...Does anyone know if SFI mails checks out of the country??? Or will she need to set up direct deposit???

Julie,

I get SFI checks in Japan.
It's going to be much easier when they get the debit card set up, but until
then, I think you affiliate in Kenya can get checks.

Actually, If I were her, I'd ask for my commissions to be held back until she can get the debit card.
It would be much easier and less expensive than trying to get a check cashed.

Julie,

At one time I had an affiliate in Kenya. He receive his checks at that time without any problem. Someone also suggested they might want to have SFI hold check until the Cash Card is in place.

Hi Julie,

Debbie's right, it can cost a lot for an affiliate from another country to cash their SFI check... many times it costs more than the check is worth (especially when just starting out).

They said the SFI cash card may be ready sometime this week... if they do finally get this out it should help with this problem.

It's also possible to have a standing order paid with her commissions.

Also PayPal may be an option she can look at.

If she wants to accumulate her commissions, she can make that selection from her account info page: www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/AccountInfo.sfi

One of my affiliates from India sent back his checks to SFI and turned on the accumulation tab in the account section. The cost for cashing his $8.00 check was going to be $50 USD. He is holding out until the credit cards payment option is complete.

Thank you all for the info...I'll forward the great advice.
