Use Paypal or Visa card

[intengu]

I have a business account with FNB and want to pay for a service/services billed monthly.

Which is more cost effective:
Paypal or Visa

I have looked at the FNB website cannot find a complete breakdown of the costs involved.

Thanks for your valuable assistance.

Not sure if you mean to offer such services to customers or to use yourself?

If it's a case of you subscribing to services there should be no cost using your card, that is billed to the vendor.

The more middlemen, the more the fees.
Pay directly with your card.

If you select PayPal to do the conversion and charge your card in Rand it will be more expensive.

If card payment and PayPal both are charged in forex it will be the same.

Paypal is better when it comes to refunds by far

I mean to use myself.

So in essence the cost would be:
Price in $ + Bank Exchange Rate if using my card

Depends on the service really, some have local pricing options that negate the exchange, but yes.
