When players come to play over seas the first crucial thing
they think about is playing well and receiving the
money promised in the contract. As this is important
with any job. Depending on the players contract can determine
how and when they are paid. In most cases, Americans are
coming to Europe to play basketball and they are normally
paid in US Dollars. Since 2001, the EURO has been the main
currency in most European countries. The US dollar and Euro
are similar but in the market there have been drastic changes.
In any case, the player has to be paid in US Dollars and
most banks in Europe give the option of opening an account
in US Dollars. This is very important because this helps
the player in so many ways and the team as well. The player
does not lose any money changing or sending to their own
bank. The team can deposit Euros directly into the bank
in exchange for US Dollars without a blink. This works in
everyone's favor.
In the biggest countries like France, Spain, Italy,
UK, Germany and others it could be possible that
the player has a bank in the US which is also in the respective
country of team. This is probably one of the greatest solutions
for both parties. Opening and closing a bank account in
a foreign country is not always easy and the communication
barrier for something that is so important can be challenging.
So if possible its best to give this information to your
player and administration. Here are a list of the biggest
financial banks who have an establishment in Europe and
Asia. US Banks Overseas
