personal account USA and proof of address

I haven't received any 3rd party wires up to now, so I don't know, but I don't see why I couldn't.

I don't think Interactive Brokers gives you a checking account, just a brokerage account, maybe that is why they don't accept 3rd party wires.
But any U.S. bank will allow you to receive 3rd party wires.

I would contact Fidelity and Schwab and I'd ask them, both Brokers will give you a checking account, as well as a Brokerage account. I don't see why you couldn't receive 3rd party wires into any of those checking accounts, but check with them to be sure.

I actually do have a US brokerage account with Schwab so I have just contacted them and asked if I'm allowed to receive 3rd party wires and the answer was yes.

That's a good start. International outgoing wire fee (to eventually withdraw the funds) is $15, it remains to be seen if my EU bank will charge me for the incoming USD wire (sometimes they do sometimes they don't). It's still a better solution than asking US payers to use Wise to convert their funds and send Euros

Will update here once I've gone through the full process.

Thanks!

I was pretty sure that 3rd party wires were possible, but that's good to know.

My EU bank always chargers me for incoming USD wires.

Thanks!

Thank you for the information. How much did you deposit in order to get your account with them?
