OMT vs Whish vs Fresh USD in Lebanon
Compare Lebanese payment channels. OMT, Whish Money, fresh USD, bank transfer: which gives you the best rate?
| Channel | Type | Commission | Settlement | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash (Fresh USD) | cash | 0% | Instant | Low |

Why your payment channel affects your margin
Each channel has a different implicit rate. Accepting payment through a high-commission or unfavorable-rate channel can eliminate your margin entirely, even if your selling price looks right on paper.
The difference between the best and worst channel can be 10-30% of your margin. Before each sale, compare how much you would actually receive through each channel.
