Dear Payoneer Management,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the recent experience I have encountered while attempting to open a business account with Payoneer. As a referral from Catawiki Romania, I had high hopes for a seamless process; however, the reality has been quite the opposite.

Despite diligently providing all requested documents, I have been met with repeated requests for the same information, resulting in unnecessary delays and frustration. Regrettably, after just two days of initiating the process, my account was inexplicably blocked, depriving me of access when I needed it most.

Efforts to seek resolution through your customer care channels have proven fruitless. Despite sending two emails outlining my concerns, I have received no response in the past five days. This lack of communication and ineffective support is disheartening, especially considering Payoneer's stature as a reputed financial service provider.

It is evident that there are systemic issues within Payoneer's customer care operations in Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Many businesses in these regions, including myself, have been deterred from utilizing Payoneer due to the unprofessionalism and apparent lack of training among your customer service staff.

As a concerned customer, I urge Payoneer to reassess its approach to customer care in these regions. The handling of inquiries and support requests must be executed with professionalism, efficiency, and respect for the valuable time and trust of your clients.

Customer ID: *******
Reference Number: **************

In conclusion, I implore Payoneer's management to take immediate action to address these concerns and uphold the company's reputation for excellence in service provision. Failure to do so risks alienating potential customers and tarnishing the brand's image in these vital markets.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My first interaction with Payoneer: 4-16-2020, I received an email: "Your request to get payments from (omitted) is under review" with a customer ID. Payoneer approved request: no added information requested.
Despite being called a "customer" by Payoneer, my only relationship is with (omitted)—Payoneer is used as a payment processor. On 2-21-2024, I was notified by (omitted) and Payoneer by email I was due a payment.
From 2-28-2024, I contacted Payoneer MANY times to get the payment: Payoneer's site stated it should have been issued to me without further action.
Payoneer failed to remedy the issue OR issue payment, and then demanded my Personally Protected Information, which I refused to provide.
On 3-15-2024, I contacted the Better Business Bureau: I reported Payoneer's bad and unlawful conduct, I demanded Payoneer send payment owed to me, as well as $208.33 for my time and labor spent resolving the matter.
Only after the public BBB complaint did Payoneer send payment ($208.33 was not included): Payoneer employee "Svetlana" was unprofessional, rude, and continued to make materially misleading and false misrepresentations…Payoneer claimed I was to blame for Payoneer's failures; they alleged falsely I failed to use the correct email address.
Payoneer cannot balance its budget and increase profits by wrongly withholding funds it is obligated to pay. This is what Payoneer did between Black History Month and Women's History Month in 2024. Good Riddance!

Upon researching online reviews and complaints about Payoneer, I came across sites like PissedConsumer, Complaints Board, Trustpilot, Ripoff Report, etc., where I read many (and I mean MANY) customer reviews spanning several years, all complaining about the exact same procedure payoneer is using on me.

So, it seems this is not an isolated incident.

Almost a month has passed, and because I am tired of waiting for my money to be released, I will escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a U.S.government agency dedicated to making sure you are treated fairly by banks, lenders and other financial institutions. Additionally, I will share this entire story with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) because they also appreciate learning about such corruption cases.

When you eventually get this message from payoneer "customer service" you know that you will never see your money again:

"I extend my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused. After thoroughly examining your case, I regret to inform you that it is still under diligent review and evaluation by our dedicated team. At present, we do not have any substantial updates or resolutions to provide you with as of this moment. Rest assured that our relevant department is actively working on resolving your concern expeditiously but comprehensively and will reach out promptly once a resolution has been reached or if further information becomes available."

If you enjoy taken for a ride and been treated like a fool by pretentious meaningless bla bla bla payoneer is the one to go for. No competition here.

Their customer support is impressively quick and helpful, and what's more, their commissions are notably lower compared to other similar platforms.

Payoneer is a reliable and efficient online financial platform that offers convenient solutions for global payments and transactions. With its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with various payment gateways and marketplaces, Payoneer makes it easy for freelancers, businesses, and professionals to send and receive funds worldwide

After trying out various service providers, Payoneer stands out as my top choice. It's user-friendly, boasts excellent customer service, and proves to be highly dependable.

Very convenient service, with the ability to pay for purchases online and transfer money to your bank account. Good fast support. Small commissions compared to other popular similar services.

Great service highly recommended giving a 5 star best service nice envorment great service very usefull

So they rejected a payment then when I proceeded to contact them via live chat they told me I need to have 200 on my account to receive a new card and payments. Pray tell, how the hell am I supposed to have 200 for 1 new card if I cannot receive any payments if my card isn't renewed?
