2 - Currently, PayPal doesn't accept all currencies. Please click here to check Accepted currencies for PayPal.
If none of the options above are available, we can accept Bank Transfers
Note: this is not recommended as it increases processing time and also most banks take fees out of your bank transfer.
We Highly Recommend that you use an automatic payment method in our new Billing Portal
Bank Transfers are slow, expensive and can cause delays in updating your account. Please take a moment to review all of our new payment options that are fast, easy and automatic.
If a Bank Transfer payment is your only option, please be aware of the following:
- We now require a minimum of 6 months for bank transfer payments.
- You must send the bank transfer at least 1 week prior to your Expiration Date.
- Once you send the bank transfer, you must email us a copy of the bank transaction so we can apply a temporary credit to your account.
- Once we receive the bank transfer document, we will extend your account for a period of 30 days, which will give us time to verify receipt of the full amount.
- Once the full amount has been received and verified by our account department, we will email you a notification and apply the full credit to your myfrontdesk account.
It is critical that you follow the steps above, otherwise, your myfrontdesk account may expire!
Payment Amounts
We now require a minimum of 6 months for bank transfer payments.
Please note that all transactions for myfrontdesk are deposited to the parent company Digital Arbitrage Inc. (formally MX2 Solutions Ltd.)

A note about IBAN
It is common for many banks to use the IBAN format, but United States banks do not have IBAN accounts (you can confirm this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number).
In order to send a bank transfer to our United States Bank, you simply need the account information that we have provided above.
Even if your bank uses and requires an IBAN to receive or transfer funds, the IBAN is not required to transfer funds to our bank.
Please take this information to your local bank, and they can assist you with performing the bank transfer without the IBAN.
