As you know, security is among our top priorities at Payoneer. I’m happy to announce that Payoneer has introduced a new service that will further enhance the security of your Payoneer account.

This new service will allow Payoneer cardholders to receive an alert, via email, for any transaction made to their card that meets certain criteria. The cardholder can then review the transaction to ensure that it is authorized, or immediately notify Payoneer’s security department if there are any issues.

The service is currently in a closed pilot, available only to certain account holders. We will slowly be rolling out the service to more account holders, and will make announcements as we have further updates.

If you have any comments or suggestions about this new service, please be sure to let us know in the comments!

Did you know that in the US alone, a patient is in need of blood every 2 seconds? That’s over 38,000 blood donations each day.  Unfortunately, only about 38% of the US population is eligible to donate blood, and only 3% actually do.

Donating blood is an essential contribution to society; an act that literally saves lives.  In fact, just one hour of your time can save three lives!

While there are organizations and programs dedicated to blood collection, their success is largely reliant upon community involvement and support.  Payoneer strongly supports blood donation, and holds annual company blood drives to show our support.

The 2012 Payoneer Blood Drive was a major success, with close to 100 Payoneer employees that signed up and donated!

If you’re able to give blood, we strongly recommend that you get in touch with your local blood center and donate.  If you haven’t donated before, click here for information on the donation process and what to expect.
