Thanks in Advance and i am sure The Answer Is going to be very helpful to all the New Guys Like I.
I believe that bank direct deposits "lock" quicker than checks since direct deposits are authorized in person by the person/company making it out to you. In the end, if you know a legitimate network paying you, then it pretty much comes down to preference. Direct deposits will be faster overall. though.
I like to get direct deposit if possible. It's always a hassle for me to go the bank and cash my checks. Also, with direct deposit there's no chance your check gets lost in the mail.
Bank deposit is much better IMO, especially if you're outside the US/Canada Depending on where you live, you can wait for up to 4 weeks to receive your check. Once you receive your check you'd need to wait for up to another 4 weeks for your bank to clear the check(it's usually a week, but sometimes it can take few weeks) Meaning, after your payment is sent, It can take about a month or two for you to have the funds ready for spending. Of course, if the company sending the payment is from the US, and you're from the US, it will take only a few days to receive and cash the check, so check is not so bad if you're in the US. With wire transfer (bank deposit) , you receive the funds 2-3 days after they're sent regardless of where you live, and they're immediately ready to use in your bank account. So between a month needed to receive and cash the check, and the 2-3 days needed to receive the wire,I'd choose wire. The only downside is that you're charged 25-35$ for the wire transfer fees, but it's not a big deal
Bank Deposit is much better. You don't have to wait for the number of days it takes the check to come in the mail. It is much more convenient if you have a lot of payments coming from different affiliate networks at different times of the month. You don't have to keep driving to the bank.
