    So I’d like to accept payments on a website and PayPal would be great, the only problem is that I can wire transfer the money to local banks (or US banks) only, but I want to wire it to a different country…

    So I found 2checkout, but I read many bad reviews. Does anybody have any experience with them or could you suggest me a better one?

    Do you want to withdraw money from your Paypal account to your Hungarian bank account? If yes, this is possible - when you check paypal.com and choose Hungary, there is written that you can withdraw money to your local bank account. Maybe this was not possible earlier, but now they have added this feature (I had a similar problem in my country).

    Or you could also try Moneybookers (Skrill) to accept payments - it is a good Paypal alternative. However, most people use Paypal.

    And as for 2CO, you have to pay them $50 when registering with them in order to be able to accept CC payments.

    I have a hungarian PayPal account but the I want to withdraw the money to a different country. That's why PayPal is not a solution for me.

    I have used 2CO in the past and for the most part they were ok. The only problem I had was the need for two separate accounts when dealing in two currencies in WHMCS. They may have changed this by now of course.

    I've been using 2CO for about 9 years and I'm very satisfied. Never have I had any serious issues. Wire transfers have always worked perfectly fine, not to mention that they've always been on time. I would recommend 2CO to others, and as a bonus you can accept PayPal as well through 2CheckOut.

    There are actually a lot more options around. You could also try searching for a local provider in the target country. They might be cheaper and better prepared for operating in the region-specific circumstances.
