Payoneer Review: Receive Payments From Dollars To Euros

Payoneer is a popular American payment system and is also a service provider from Mastercard. This system specializes in making money transfers, and also offers additional financial services.

Payoneer - Payment System Review

Payoneer reviews are the positive results of users' work with the international payment system. This allows you to withdraw money from sites, and receive transfers from customers. After crediting money to your account, you can withdraw it to a Ukrainian bank account or order a card from Payoneer.

Payoneer was created with the goal of making the functionality available to people from all over the world. That is why the system has support for nine languages. Payoneer is generally used for the following purposes:

• Payment for work with freelancers;
• Payment for goods;
• Carrying out entrepreneurial activities.

Payoneer launches its own Virtual Prepaid Card by MasterCard. Also, the system has a registration program for referral links, which gives certain advantages. After the user earns the first thousand on Payoneer, he will be credited with a certain amount in dollars.

As for the work of Payoneer in Russia, the system stopped working with cards of Russian banks back in May 2020. Also, the official website was blocked by Roskomnadzor for non-compliance with certain requirements, but the citizens of the country did not receive an official ban on the use of Payoneer. In Belarus, it is also possible to work with Payoneer, but there are restrictions on working with cards. However, Belarusians can still receive transfers in euros, dollars and rubles.

The Payoneer system has official partners, which include:

• Amazon;
  
• iStock;
  
• Depositphotos;
  
• Freelancer;
  
• Upwork.
  

Account registration

By itself, registering with Payoneer takes no more than a couple of minutes. The user must select the language, as well as indicate the name and surname in Latin letters, information about the passport and driver's license. Also in Payoneer, it is imperative to choose a type of activity. For example, if a person is a seller on Amazon, then they should choose an online seller.

Also, the user will be able to indicate who will own the wallet: an individual or an organization. In addition, you will need to enter contact information, including country, phone number, postal address in Latin letters.

After successfully entering the above data, the system will offer to come up with and enter a strong password. But the registration does not end there, there are just a couple of steps left. First, you will need to indicate the details of the account to which the money will have to be transferred, and the next step will have to provide full details, including the BIC and TIN.

After successful registration, Payoneer does not immediately allow you to use the wallet. It takes up to three days for the system team to consider a new user. If everything is in order and registration was successful, a letter with this information will be sent to the user's email address.

When you first log into the system after successful registration, Payoneer will ask you to specify two more additional security questions, and in addition will require you to attach scanned copies of your passport. It will also take some time for the system to accept this document.

After at least thirty dollars is credited to the account of the new wallet, the user will be able to order the card.

Working with your Payoneer account

In Payoneer, a personal account is created very thoughtfully, and at the same time, it is simple, so users never have problems with how to figure out inside this account. Opening your Payoneer account is very simple, just click the Login button. You can do the following things in your personal account:

• Transfer money;
• Top up the card;
• View the history of transactions;
• Creation of a mini-statement.

If the user has any questions, he can always contact 24/7 support. The personal account can be used not only from a computer, but also from a free mobile application. For viewing the balance at the ATM, 1 dollar is debited, but in the application this operation can be performed absolutely free.

Refill

The Payoneer system is designed so that the owner of the wallet cannot replenish it on his own, only other users can do this, thus paying for goods or services. Methods of replenishing a personal account in the system:

• From Visa and Mastercard cards, subject to the use of the Billing Service;
• Transfer from one Payoneer card to another;
• Transfer from one Payoneer account to another;
• Using US electronic checks;
• Using international bank transfers.

Payoneer has a fee for transfers. When money is credited from the card, a commission of 3% is taken; when using international bank transfers, 1% is charged. As a rule, money arrives in the wallet within two hours, but in some cases the transfer can take 2-3 days.

Withdrawal of funds

Since there are some restrictions in Russia due to violation of Russian law, only two options for withdrawing funds are available for freelancers from this country:

• To a bank account;
• On the Mastercard card, which is issued by the system itself.

In terms of time, withdrawal of funds to Payoneer can take up to five days. At the same time, it is worth knowing that the card is not issued automatically, but only after the user receives his first money. Beforehand, he will have to familiarize himself with the tariffs and agree to the issue of the card.

But with the receipt of the card, problems can also arise - it is not sent to Russia. The ordered card will need to be sent to friends or relatives in a country where there are no locks and restrictions regarding Payoneer. This card can be used without any restrictions, but the annual service fee is very high - $ 29.95.

In order to transfer money to another user, it is important that this user indicates his email address in the system. With Payoneer, you can transfer money to services such as PayPal and WebMoney.

Transfers to cards of users issued in the system are carried out without any significant restrictions, but still there is a certain rule. The amount of one transfer cannot be less than $ 20 and cannot be more than $ 1,000.

Payoneer has a system of commissions for withdrawing funds from a wallet:

• 0% - to a bank account;
• 2.5% - to the card (Mastercard commission).

On average, if a user from Russia receives $ 100 on his account, he receives $ 96 of them. If you withdraw money from an ATM, the commission will be $ 3.15. There is also a limit on withdrawing funds from ATMs or cash desks - no more than $ 2,500 per day.

Payoneer for Amazon

The system is most often used to work with the Amazon and Ebay marketplaces - after all, Payoneer is their official partners. Electronic auctions do not imply any other means of withdrawing funds, except to an account in the United States, and Payoneer offers this opportunity to Russian businessmen. The account in the payment system will need to be linked to the account on the electronic auction. You need to act according to the following algorithm:

1. Clarify the details of the Global Payment Service account, you can find them in your Payoneer account;
2. Login to Amazon Seller Central;
3. In the Settings menu and then Account Info, in the Deposit Use a new bank account section, enter the details, indicate the United States when requesting the location of the bank.

After that, you can withdraw money to your Payoneer account and then transfer it to your bank account in Russia. If a card is issued, the money received from sales on Amazon to the account registered at the auction is immediately credited to the card. Fee for withdrawing funds from Amazon to Payoneer - 1%. It is withdrawn from the Amazon account or card. Withdrawals are made twice a month.

• High level of security;
• The ability to convert into 90 currencies and make payments in 90 countries;
• The virtual card removes regional restrictions;

• Long withdrawal period;
• In Payoneer, the account may be blocked due to incorrect data entry or due to the need to verify the identity;
• The prohibition of the system in Russia forces you to use VPN.

Security Issues at Payoneer

Funds go to Russian accounts through City Bank, which provides an additional level of security.

• In the Settings menu, select the Confirmatory information section;
• Select address verification;

1. Sign in to your Payoneer account;
2. Go to the Receipt section and select Global Payment Service;
3. Click on the desired currency. The user will be redirected to a page where they can send a request to the corresponding service.

If, when following these steps, the user does not see any currencies, then there are currently no available currencies.

What is the status of the payment

If a user is expecting a payment that was sent to his account using a bank transfer, it is important to pay attention to the following points:

1. It may take up to 5 business days for your Payoneer account to receive your payment;
2. Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays are not business days;
3. Most of the accounts that Payoneer provides do not support wire payments. If the user tries to receive such a payment, although his account does not have such a function, the payment will automatically be returned to the initiator;
4. Most of the accounts that Payoneer provides do not support payments from individuals. An unconfirmed initiator's payment will be declined and returned to the sender within 7 business days.

If the payment went to your Payoneer account, but is not yet available on the balance, you should know the following:

• Payments received are verified by the Payoneer team before being credited;
• In some cases, additional information is required to confirm the payment. You need to go to the Verification Center to see the available requests for additional data or documents;
• In some cases, payment verification may take up to 3 business days.

Why the user's payment was declined

There are several reasons why a payment sent to a Global Payment Service user's account might be declined:

1. The initiator of the transfer sent the funds using a wire payment. Most of the accounts provided by Payoneer only support local transfers. If you try to receive a wire payment to an account that does not support such transfers, the payment will be automatically returned to the initiator;
2. Most of the accounts provided by Payoneer do not support payments from individuals. Payment from an unconfirmed initiator will be rejected and returned to the sender within 7 business days;
3. The payment does not comply with the Terms and Conditions of Service;

Fees and questions about the amount of payment

The commission for each transfer received to the account depends on the payment currency. For payments received to an account in USD, a commission is taken up to 1% of the payment amount. No fees are charged for payments received in other currencies.

If the payment received is less than expected, it is most likely due to a commission.

Submitting a request for additional details to receive payments in the same currency

If the user requires an additional account for Amazon, the Store Manager can be used. After the user connects all the existing details for receiving payments in the account to the active Amazon store, new details for receiving payments will be created automatically.

If the user requires additional details to receive payments for another marketplace, it is necessary to contact support to review the request.

How to edit Amazon store details
