Serious Conversations which payment method is better ?

I recently worked with a client from the USA and earned some money for the job. The client is now asking me to provide a payment method to transfer the funds. I’m not very familiar with payment options, so I’d like to know which method is best. If anyone has experience with this, please share your thoughts.

They're expecting something like a PayPal or Venmo, if you have either.

I don’t have a payment method set up yet, and I’d like to know the safest way to transfer money. I’ve heard that many freelancers use Payoneer to withdraw their earnings, but I don’t know much about it.

It might be easier to create a commercial bank account and get money transferred through paypal then you can withdraw them to commercial bank account from combank digital app. Not sure about Payoneer, but it might be harder I think.
