Not paypal and not payoneer. Are there other withdrawal options?

Hello! There is no Paypal in my country and no Payoneer. I make games and I would like to sell them a little. Is there any other way to get paid? I have a visa, for example...

There is Direct To You which lets you setup your bank    but you are responsible for all payments, tax and refunds as well. This also means you have to deal with each country laws of money,  as an example VAT in  EU  requires you to have VAT or else you owe more money. Direct To You is very long process and isn't great in many cases.

To elaborate and clarify: According the "Accepting Payments and Getting Paid" page, "Direct to You" still has to go to either Paypal or Stripe, it does NOT go straight to your bank. The main difference is just that Itch holds your payments in the other mode, forcing you to wait one week to "prevent fraud" and another week (at least) for the "human review" to be completed. This might make "Direct to You" seem like the obvious choice, but Paypal (and probably Stripe) charge both a percentage and a flat PER TRANSACTION fee. This means that if you do say 200 transactions of $5, rather than 1 transaction of $1000, you will be absolutely murdered by the transaction fees. Thus "Collected by Itch" is really the only viable option for most people.  

But to clearly answer the original question, no, as far as I can tell Itch provides no options besides Paypal, Payoneer, and Stripe.
