I need to invoice some overseas clients for them to pay into my FNB bank account.
What are my options and what bank details do I need to give them?

I have a normal FNB checking account and an FNB Global Account in US $

Specifically:
  1. Can they make SWIFT payment in US $ to my local ZAR account? If so where does currency conversion happen.
  2. To receive SWIFT payment to my ZAR account do I just give my normal bank account number, normal branch code, and FND swift code FIRNZAJJ
  3. If one is possible, is it possible that the client pays swift fees and currency conversion fees. I think they would do this if given the option. Does SWIFT payments have the option that person paying takes on all the fees.
  4. Is SWIFT payment onerus and difficult for the client in that they have to do currency conversion? In other words should I rather give them details of my US$ Global account? I will potentially be invoicing multiple clients so I want to make it as frictionless as possible for them...
Side note: I know there are other options like Paypal and Wise, and I'm setting these up, but some clients for whatever reason proposing to pay directly to my local bank account so I just want to see how to handle that option and what details to put on my invoice..
