Comparison
PayPal is global, but expensive for getting paid in LATAM. Midi gives you a real dollar account, a Visa card and your full money, with nothing lost to conversion.
PayPal is accepted worldwide, but getting paid and withdrawing in Latin America tends to be expensive because of conversion fees and receiving fees, and your balance is not a dollar account you can use freely. Midi gives you a real dollar account, a physical and digital Visa card to spend instantly, and payments from any platform without your money losing value along the way.
