Payoneer’s Global Payment Service provides you with international receiving accounts that allow your international clients to pay you via local bank transfer – just like a local employee with a local bank account.

As a regulated US company, we often require documentation to ensure the security of our account holders and to comply with industry rules and regulations. In order to avoid any delays with your payments, it’s best to provide the required documents as soon as possible, once you’ve joined Payoneer.

1. Sign in to your Payoneer account
2. Go to Settings and then to Verification Center 
3. Click on Account Verification and Provide Business Details to see which documents you need to provide.

As a leading global payout solutions company, we always look to accelerate the growth of our account holders by improving the way they manage their business. At Payoneer we work hard to make it possible for you to work on different online platforms and help you receive your payments from multiple online marketplaces in a safe, easy & secure way.

We are excited to share with you a testimonial from our account holder in Tunisia, Ahmed Feki, who works as a freelancer on oDesk and also as a seller on Amazon – using Payoneer to receive his payments. Enjoy!

Can you explain your line of business?  What are the services you provide on oDesk and Amazon?

I’m an oDesk freelancer from 2009, specialized in developing websites & Web APP & ERP. After oDesk became my primary job and I started making good profits I decided to start working on Amazon as a Magic mug seller in 2013.

How did you hear about Payoneer and why did you choose it as your payment solution?

Well, here in Tunisia it’s almost impossible to get an international credit card. After countless meetings with many bank managers I found out that this option is given only for businessmen, while I’m just a man looking for a credit card to make my internet business idea become alive. My success story started when I heard about Payoneer from a close friend who is also using Payoneer to manage his online business. This was really my lucky day! Payoneer helped me find oDesk, the best opportunity I have ever found, where I can easily make money by selling my programming skills 🙂

How does Payoneer help you manage your business and receive your payments from different sources at the same time?

As you might know, PayPal in Tunisia has very limited service with no option to withdraw money. Payoneer makes it possible by helping me get my money from oDesk and Amazon in my country. I found the Amazon selling opportunity before Payoneer launched the US Payment Service, the puzzle was not yet completed, because I could buy products and resell them but I couldn’t withdraw my money from Amazon since I don’t have US bank account. After a while, it looked like Payoneer thought about me when they launched the US Payment service, it was my lucky day!  So I start to transfer my oDesk earnings to US selling business channel in Amazon US, that’s how I became a seller on Amazon. My next lucky day came while I was thinking to extend my US Amazon business to Amazon Europe, I faced the same problem to withdraw my money to EUR Bank account, but as always Payoneer’s magic worked again and they launched the EUR Payment Service, which allowed me to extend my sales to Amazon.uk, Amazon.it, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de and Amazon.es…Enormous opportunities are awaiting! Payoneer deserves all the credit for making me a lucky professional.

Are you satisfied with our service? Would you recommend Payoneer to people?

I’m really satisfied with Payoneer’s service, I really recommend it to anyone who wants to run a business online, especially for people who live in a country with limited opportunities and can’t get an international credit card. If you don’t have an online business opportunity yet, you can start working with Payoneer’s partners same as I did and start your journey to success.

Would you also like to share your experience or interesting story with the Payoneer community? We’d love to hear about it – let us know by sending an e-mail to community@payoneer.com, or post your comment below!

Eduardo Grude is a professional freelance web designer from Latin America, and also a Payoneer account holder. Being experienced in doing business internationally while living in Latin America, Eduardo explains the obstacles freelancers face working in a global economy, and how Payoneer helped him to overcome those obstacles and grow his business.

I´ve been working as a web design freelancer for many years, but I had a big problem: I couldn’t do effective online advertising with per pay click payment methods such as Google Adwords, because of limitations I encountered in Venezuela. I needed to promote my Google Adwords services since the traditional methods weren’t effective enough for me and I needed to get more clients.

I received payments for selling some hosting services as an affiliate but I couldn’t make use of that money other than purchasing on websites or paying for some services. I discovered  Payoneer around 2012, I had been looking for information about opening a bank account in the USA for a long time, and I finally came across Payoneer’s services.

Why did you choose Payoneer?

I can honestly say that Payoneer has changed my life! My biggest problem had been solved, and now I could withdraw money that I received online to a US bank account through the US Payment Service, without having to incur in any expenses, like depositing money to open such account. I was then able to make payments with my Payoneer Mastercard.

Payoneer has enabled me to see the endless opportunities that the Internet has to offer, so much so that I’m leaving my profession as a freelance worker to start other online businesses.

Tell us a bit about your experience using the Payoneer Refer a Friend Program. Are you satisfied?

Regarding the Refer a Friend Program, I immediately started promoting Payoneer’s services- I wanted to shout to the world I had found such a valuable opportunity for everyone using the Net to work and do business.

I am very satisfied with the services Payoneer offers, they really are excellent! And I’m even happier that I have been able to help so many people get to know about their services. In fact, they have acknowledged I’m one of the top 2013 referrers.

To my fellow Venezuelans, and to everyone around the world, I’d like to say: there is a way, starting an online business to work from home or anywhere in the world, is the only way!

I recently posted about an update to the Request A Payment service, which allows professionals and small businesses around the world to receive bank transfers from international companies. You can easily request a payment to any company you are working with and the payer can easily send a payment via credit card or their local bank. These recent updates have greatly improved global commerce by eliminating the obstacles of doing business internationally.

One of the first Payoneer account holders to take advantage of the new  Payment Request service is Rifat, an affiliate marketer and consultant from Bangladesh. Beginning his career as an affiliate marketer, Rifat now spends the majority of his time helping other affiliate marketers set up their own campaigns and earn lifetime commissions on their sales. Rifat runs a successful Facebook group with over 40,000 members where he posts free training videos and tips on how to succeed in affiliate marketing.  You can also check out his personal blog for more tips and tricks.

As an active Payoneer account holder himself, Rifat had some great tips on how to leverage Payoneer’s global payment solutions to work online, get paid, and increase profits.

How did you hear about Payoneer?

I signed up with Payoneer back in 2009 to withdraw funds from oDesk.  Now I’m using the US payment service to run my business and to manage clients in a more prestigious way. I decided on Payoneer as it was the fastest and simplest way to get paid. It allows me to get paid at the lowest rate out there (only 1%) and it is FREE for clients to pay me. Also it allows me to purchase things online using the Payoneer card.

What benefits has the US Payment Request service provided you?

My business image has truly improved.  I can now offer them my US bank details, which is far better and comfortable to my buyers, and for me it’s only 1% fee with no limits.  It’s just the BEST & Cheapest way to get paid from companies and a very enjoyable process for me.

Has it changed or improved your ability to work online?

Yes, it increased my earnings by 9% without doing anything.  The US bank transfer is free for my clients and some clients started paying me the extra 10% which they were been charged to pay me at freelance marketplaces.  Now I am working in a corporate manner, with large companies and they are paying me to my bank account weekly, just as they would with local workers. It brought a lot ease on the business and a complete professionalism. 

What tips can you provide to others looking to work and get paid online?

I’d suggest working with US clients and start taking the “long term business concept” seriously. I see tons of guys continuously searching for new jobs everyday on several online marketplaces, where they already have a job running! To them – Stop looking for new clients and start caring for your current clients to build a long term business relationship. If you start doing this today – you won’t have to search for new jobs everyday as you’ll be able to grow a strong client base who will keep you overloaded with work 24×7.

And about get paid online – I’d honestly suggest using Payoneer’s new “US Payment Request” service. I’ve been using this for a while now, and it is completely amazing! Clients get a strong impression about me when I give them my “Bank of America” bank details (which is actually the Payoneer US Payment Service) and clients can transfer funds for completely free. I have to pay only 1% to receive funds from them. The absolute best part – NO LIMIT on loading! I’m just loving it, and I’d suggest everyone to start using Payoneer USPS – the best way to get paid.
