Is it really just 1%?

I remember they were double dipping.  Maybe that was only for fiat other than USD though ...   but it was a fee as well as a crappy exchange rate.   Like how the remittance companies do it, where they force you to take something like a 3% loss on the exchange rate but not call it a fee.

1% is fair enough.
I used them many years, until I got paid directly.
Bitwage is really good.
Important is that you got your BTC straight into your own wallet.

The biggest problem with BitWage that I've seen has been the fees.

I don't know the fee that Deel charges, but since the USD funds are arriving on Coinbase, I suspect the total fees between both Deel and Coinbase will be lower than what is charged using BitWage.
