Announcing the winners of our “Looking Back at 2013” story contest!
Throughout December and January we had the pleasure of receiving so many inspiring and interesting stories as part of the “Looking Back at 2013” contest. We got to read stories from all parts of the world, written by men and women, young and old, all with one thing in common – Payoneer gave them opportunities and chances they didn’t have before, simply changing their lives. We were moved and inspired by all your stories and now are very happy to announce our winners – the top 3 Payoneer stories for 2013!
“In 2013 – I started my startup called – Dwetech. I have a team of 5 members. Though I’m still at high school – but I hired all Computer Engineers! And still for all our company online transaction and receiving international payment I relay on Payoneer.”
In first place, winning a Kindle Fire HDX, is Abdullah Al Jahid from Bangladesh. Abdullah’s success story truly moved us – wanting to get into the world of computers and programming, Abdullah used Payoneer to become a freelancer and to open his own startup and online business!

“Looking back at 2013, I realized that I’ve always dared to dream big. But I would never have been where I am today had it not been for Payoneer.”
In second place, winning a Kindle Fire HD, is Neera Rye Ramdhonee from Mauritius. Neera Rye took us back in time, telling us about her childhood dream of becoming a writer, a dream which was hard to reach in the small island of Mauritius. Using Payoneer, Neera Rye was able to realize this dream in 2013 and we couldn’t be happier for her. To read Neera Rye’s full story, click here.

In third place, winning a Kindle Fire HD, is Kevin Omondi from Kenya. We loved Kevin’s story of how Payoneer helped him get into affiliate marketing and also loved to read about his experience with Payoneer’s Refer a Friend Program. To read Kevin’s full story, click here.
We would like to congratulate our winners and thank them for their great stories. We would also like to thank all those who participated and took the time to write and submit inspirational, cool and optimistic stories. In fact, we liked all of your stories so much that we decided none of you should go “prize-less”!
