Making international payments can be really difficult if your country doesn’t support PayPal. In countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan where PayPal doesn’t work, users have to find other alternatives for sending and receiving payments internationally.
Besides that, PayPal also has a very high commission rate
for transactions which has forced many people to look for alternatives.
In this article, I’ll talk in detail about Payoneer which is
a great alternative to PayPal. I’ll discuss how to create a Payoneer
account, activate your account, and add funds to make international
payments.
As a bonus, I’ll also show you how to get a $25 Sign Up
bonus for creating your Payoneer account. This special bonus is only for our
readers.
Let’s get started.

How To Create A Payoneer Account
Creating a Payoneer account is a very simple process and
takes less than 5 minutes. Let me walk you through the process of creating a
new Payoneer account:
1. Visit Payoneer and click on the button ‘Sign Up & Get $25’ to get started (This offer is exclusive to our readers only).
2. The link will take you to a page where you’ll have to select which type of account fits perfectly for your needs.
3. After selecting your needs, click on the ‘Register’ button to proceed to the next step.
4. The next step is to enter your personal information such as your name, email address, date of birth, etc.
5. Then, enter your contact details which include your country, address, and phone number.
6. Now, you have to set a password and a security question. A helpful tip here is to keep your security question safe somewhere in case you forget your password. Also, provide your ID information in this step.
7. The last step is to enter your bank account details. Click on ‘Submit’ to proceed further.
8. Once you’ve submitted your application, it will be under review for approval. This gets approved very fast if you’ve provided the correct information and details.
Once your account is approved, you’ll get a letter at your
address for confirmation. This letter will contain a 16-digit card number that
will be used later.
How To Activate Your Payoneer Account
Once your account is approved, the next step is to activate
your account so that you can send and receive payments.
Activating your Payoneer account is again a very simple and
easy process. Let me guide you through the whole process step-by-step.
When you log in to your Payoneer account, you’ll see an ‘Activate’ button. Click on this button to begin the activation process.
For activation, you’ll have to enter your card number details along with a digital pin. For the card number, check the letter you received from Payoneer and you’ll find the 16-digit number in it. After that, choose a 4-digit PIN. This PIN number will be used at ATMs and stores so do choose a number that you don’t forget.
After clicking on the ‘Activation’ button, you’ll receive an
email confirmation account activation.
How To Add Funds To Payoneer Account
Once your Payoneer account is activated, it will still show
$0.00 as your account balance. To get the $25 bonus for signing up, you’ll
first have to receive at least $1000 in your Payoneer account.
You can either do this by receiving money from someone else
or adding funds to your Payoneer account by yourself.
Currently, you can’t transfer funds to a Payoneer account
from other Payoneer accounts or even from your local bank. Here are the two
different methods you can use instead to add funds to your Payoneer
account:
1. Receive Payments from Payoneer Supported Companies
& Websites
If you’ve created a Payoneer account to receive payments
from online marketplaces and other such websites, then this method will work
great for you.
Whether you’re a blogger, freelancer, or an affiliate
marketer, you can use this method easily. Here are the different companies that
support Payoneer for sending payments to its users:
- Freelance
Marketplaces: Fiverr, Upwork, ODesk, 99Designs, Freelancer,
Elance, etc.
- Affiliate
Networks: Envato, CJ, Shareasale, Clickbank, Amazon Affiliate
Program, etc.
- Ad
Networks: RevenueHits, Kadabra, BuySellAds, InfoLinks, etc.
2. By Using US Payment Service
This is another method for non-US residents to receive
payments from US-based companies. For using this service, your account must be
verified in order to receive payments.
Lastly, you can also receive funds to your Payoneer account
by signing up for their affiliate program and receiving commissions.
How To Withdraw Money From Payoneer Account
Withdrawing money from your Payoneer account is very easy.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can do that:
Withdraw Money To Your Local Bank
Before you proceed with withdrawing money to your local
bank, it’s necessary that your bank account is connected and approved by
Payoneer.
1. First, log in to your Payoneer account and go the the ‘Bank
Account’ settings under which you’ll find an option to ‘Withdraw’.
2. If you haven’t added and verified your bank account yet, Payoneer will ask you to connect a bank account. Click on the ‘Add New’ button to add your bank account.
3. You’ll be asked to verify your account information by entering your Payoneer information such as Payoneer card number, CVV, date of birth, and account password.
4. Next, enter your bank details. You’ll have to enter your
bank name, branch name, account name, account number, and account description.
Once you’ve entered all your information, click on the ‘Submit’ button.
5. After submitting your bank information, you’ll receive an
email confirming that your bank account has been connected and approved to your
Payoneer account.
6. Now, you can go back to your account and ‘Withdraw’
money from your Payoneer account.
7. Select the bank account to which you want to withdraw
money and enter the amount you want to withdraw. Click on the ‘Next’ button to
confirm funds withdrawal.
8. Your funds will be transferred to your bank account in
3-4 business days.
Note: You can also enable automatic fund
withdrawal in your Payoneer account.

The second method of withdrawing funds from Payoneer is by
going to a local ATM. Just ensure that your local ATM supports MasterCard. The
