How To Use and Request a Payoneer Debit Card
The benefits of using a Payoneer card system include the ability to pay for online purchases such as products, advertising fees, and various services with a debit card, which saves on expenses without having to exchange currencies multiple times since we can use the USD balance in our account directly linked to the debit card. For example, buying goods on Ali-express, paying for advertising on Facebook, and so on.
We can choose the type of card we want to use between a solid card that can be swiped in stores or withdrawn from ATMs, but will incur fees similar to using a foreign card, or a virtual card for online purchases only, with an annual fee of $29.95 only.
Applying for a Payoneer card for people who have never had a Payoneer card
1) Have at least $100 in account balance obtained from various online marketplaces. Except for transfers between Payoneer accounts
2) Verify identity and address by sending a copy of the original photo of the ID card and proof of address such as water bills, electricity bills, utility bills, bank statement, credit card statement
3) Place a card order in your Payoneer account.
4) Contact the Payoneer Support Team to get a Virtual Card.
5) When the card is received into the account, press Activate to use.
Summary: I have tried using Payoneer for a while and it is much easier to use than PayPal. It also accepts money from various sources globally. I haven’t used the credit card feature as I haven’t signed up for it.
