How does this company even exist? And... why would ANYONE ever use them?

Their site is garbage and they cause so much anxiety and stress for no reason.

I updated my bank account with them MONTHS ago, yet... they send money to the only bank account.

I seriously can't believe this company hasn't been hit with a class action lawsuit for how horrific they are.

Every experience with them is negative and they are thieves.

Hi there Hamza,

As a regulated US company and online service, Payoneer must comply with the rules and regulations imposed by the US government, MasterCardĀ®, and our banks. In doing so, Payoneer account holders may be required to submit specific documentation that will assist us in ensuring the safety and security of all transactions done via Payoneer.

Payoneer's core obligations are to protect its clients' funds and prevent money laundering. It is unfortunate to hear that you did not have a good experience with our platform and customer support. We would like to further look into your case and follow-up with you. Please provide your customer ID and email associated to your Payoneer account.

Thanks,

The Payoneer Team

No fraud detection
October 24, 2017

Someone managed to retrieve my credit card information AS well as my PIN and withdraw over 6000$ on the other side of the world without Payoneer blocking a single transaction or limiting the amount. The fraud department is unexistant, said I had chances of not retrieving my money. Would never trust again, I'm closing all my accounts.

Card Subsequently Received
October 16, 2017
Updated review

After the complaining about the receipt of the card, it appears Payoneer received the complaint and thereafter they contacted me to apologize for the "delay". Subsequently, they shipped the card via a courier delivery service. I have since received the card.

Shipping of Mastercard debit card
June 22, 2017
Previous review

I registered and opened an account with Payoneer where my affiliate commission was deposited. I then ordered a Mastercard debit card. They emailed me that my card has been shipped to me. I waited for it for months to arrive but it never did.

Later I received an email from them that my card was undelivered and then returned to them. I don't know where it was sent to but I never received any notification from anyone for delivery of such a card.

I re-ordered another card and requested that it be sent via courier. It has now been more than 3 months and I haven't heard any word from them. I don't know whether they're still planning to send the card or not.

I have sent numerous messages via their ticket submission system and also via email but have not received any response to any of those messages. Ironically, my account continues to incur service / bank charges.

I have no clue now as to what to do next.

You've been warned. We started to use Payoneer to pay our international employees. So far it has been 11 DAYS and not one of them as received their pay. Yet, Payoneer withdrew the funds from our bank 10 DAYS AGO. I have emailed them more than once and get ZERO reply. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

FALSE PROMISES.
October 12, 2017

I do not recommend Payoneer. The bad reviews are TRUE. I still have not received my money from September withdrawal. They said there was something wrong with my bank details suddenly. Which is so weird because ALL my other previous transactions were successful. But now that it's a big amount it seems like it's taking forever to get to me. I just hope you don't scam people. :( I trusted this company for a year. I want to file charges against them if they do not give me my money!

Very positive experiences
September 30, 2017

I was pretty hesitant because of the negative reviews found here. But by following their instructions regarding deposit types (direct banking transaction versus wiring, etc.), this has been a fantastic find for me. I was paying almost 10-20% to receive UK payments through a third party service as a freelancer. With Payoneer's relatively low conversion/withdrawal fee I am keeping much more of my gross. I have been using Payoneer for several months without a hitch.

I do not understand all of the users that say they cannot withdraw their funds? I have had absolutely no issues, literally it takes one step? I almost wonder if some of the reviews are competitor? Of course it can take 3-5 business days to receive funds from Payoneer, maybe they are expecting immediate transfers?

I had 2 rentals on Airbnb in the beggining of September, but I didn't receive them yet, and on AirBnB site, they asked to contact Payonner directly to check it the payments. I did it, and open a request n. ************** more than 10 days ago, they said they would escalate it internally. After that, I contact Payoneer twice and the approach was the same: wait them to contact me by email. Another strange fact is that I received the rental that happened last week, so it's a not problem of data or profile.

They show it's very easy to open an account and get paid. But DON'T FALL for it. Once you get any payment in your account it won't let you withdraw. Your money will stuck forever. And their customer support is useless. This company is going to shut down very soon, so if you have any money in your account it will be lost forever.

DON'T OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM!
They make it really easy to register for their services, however once you receive your first payment it's all different.
I have tried so many times to withdraw my funds to my bank account, however the transaction keeps failing even after I provided them will all the required documentation.
Then, you will speak with their Customer Care, they have no idea what does their company offers and they will start to attack you. Even though their supervisors, no solutions at all and same level of vulgarity and stupidity.

There are a lot of other options, they cost more but at least they won't scam you.

All I wanted to do was change bank accounts.

Get ready for cat and mouse playing timezone-tag. It has taken an entire week since my initial enquiry and the matter is still not resolved. For an online service this is totally unacceptable.
