What it does
Payoneer helps businesses, ecommerce sellers and freelancers receive cross-border payments and withdraw funds to local bank accounts. Receiving accounts, client payment requests and marketplace connections serve different ways of getting paid. Charges depend on the payment route, territory and account activity.
An ecommerce seller receiving marketplace proceeds has a different payment flow from a freelancer billing a client. Payoneer brings those receiving routes together with currency balances and withdrawals. Request-and-invoice tools keep expected customer payments beside money already received, while batch payments handle multiple outgoing business payments.
Follow the whole payment route
A payment can involve a receiving charge, currency conversion and a withdrawal charge. Payoneer’s standard pricing lists client credit-card payments at up to 3.99%, sometimes with an additional US$0.49. U.S. ACH bank-debit payments are listed at 1%. Marketplace fees depend on the platform, and withdrawal prices depend on the countries and currencies involved.
A US$29.95 annual account fee applies when receipts total less than US$6,000 or the equivalent during any 12 consecutive months. Some countries instead require an annual plan or a registration fee. A card has its own separate annual charge, so ordering one changes the total cost. Account-specific fees are available inside the service.
Choose an individual account for eligible freelance business activity or a company account for a registered legal entity. Registration asks for personal or company details and bank information, with verification documents as required. Names must match identification or company records. Applicants must be at least 18, and restricted countries are excluded.
This is a commercial payment service. Its individual-account route does not turn it into a service for sending personal gifts to friends or family.
