I just realised I've been bleeding $$$ every month

(in hidden tax - and no one talks about it)

Half my clients pay in USD.

But I don’t live in the US.

Which means… Stripe fees. Processing delays. Currency conversion.

Every. Single. Time. I. Receive. Payments. (pls don’t even get me started on PayPal’s 5%)

50% of my clients are based in the US or Dubai.

Most pay in USD.

Which meant I was losing literal thousands each month - just moving money 🥲

Enter… Slash

This 23 y/o founder raised $60M to destroy PayPal and Wise for international businesses.

Slash just launched the ability to open a full US business account without a US LLC, EIN, or tax drama - in 10 minutes.

I’m talking: → Instant USD account without an LLC → Up to 4.5% cash rewards on your balance

And yes, it works with Stripe, PayPal, Shopify - the whole lot.

If you’re like me

charging clients in USD and still dealing with conversion stress + payout delays…

Fix it.
