Receiving Funds
You can get money through Payoneer in two ways:
When you use Payoneer to receive payments by customers by sending a payment request, Payoneer sends them an email with the payment details and options to pay you. Depending on the payment option used, you will receive the funds in your Payoneer account within a few days.
For marketplaces and companies to receive payments by bank transfer, Payoneer offers receiving accounts that function like local bank accounts. It means that you can receive local bank transfers in the local currency. Payments that come into your receiving account are directly transferred to your Payoneer account.
Other Payoneer customers can make business-related payments to you using one of the many methods available to them based on their ability.
If you provide services through marketplaces such as Airbnb and Upwork, you can choose Payoneer as a payment method and receive payment.
When you use Payoneer to pay another Payoneer user, you do not incur any fees, and the balance is transferred from your account to their account within minutes.
You can also use Payoneer to make payments to people who do not use Payoneer. You have to add their bank account details and make payment from your Payoneer account to their bank account.

Exchange of currency
If you need to exchange from one currency to another, you will be charged 0.5% more than the mid-market rate. This fee is very competitive and is one of the main reasons why Payoneer may be a good option for your needs.
Markets and Networks
Many major marketplaces and freelancing platforms use Payoneer. However, these platforms, including Upwork, Fiverr, and Airbnb, have their set fees for withdrawing money. Hence, you need to check the rates with the respective platforms.
Transfer money from Payoneer to a bank account
Withdrawals will require you to pay a separate fee, depending on whether you are withdrawing in a different currency or the same currency.
To withdraw funds from the Payoneer account to a bank account in a different currency, you will have to pay 2% above the interbank rate. While the average rate of 2% is much better than that of a bank, you can click here to signup (opens a new tab) and get a VIP rate of 1.2%, which you can get from a specialist money transfer company closer than expected.
To withdraw money to your bank account in the same currency, you need to pay $1.50 for the transaction.
Fees may be lower for higher-value transactions.
Using Payoneer Prepaid MasterCard
If you use a Payoneer Mastercard to make purchases with a currency other than the card’s listed currency, the exchange will be at Mastercard’s official exchange rate. In addition, you will pay a currency conversion fee of up to 3.5%.
If you want to make regular purchases, we suggest a more competitive exchange rate, perhaps with these prepaid cards.
How fast is Payoneer?
Payoneer-to-Payoneer transfers (sending and receiving money) are almost instant. But transactions with non-paying accounts may take longer depending on the payment methods used.
Both global and local transfers usually involve withdrawals to your bank account.
Both global and local transfers usually take 2-5 business days for withdrawals to your bank account. However, once you receive the confirmation mail from Payoneer, it may take 2-5 days for the funds to reach your account.
U.S. Transfers usually take 2-3 business days.
Conclusion
Payoneer is an attractive option for freelancers, professionals, and small businesses looking for a simple, cost-effective way to send and accept payments. Also, using Payoneer’s services makes sense for anyone who wants to be free from ridiculous fees and needs a service that does the essentials well.
