Just hired our first 5 contractors in Eastern Europe. Anyone got a clean way to pay them in EUR without losing 3% on every transfer?

scaled the team from 4 to 18 in 3 months. fx fees on contractor pay are eating margin. throwing it out there.

Tips on paying our Italian flour supplier without bleeding 4% to FX? Bank quote is laughable.
