How To Withdraw Funds from Payoneer to Your Local Bank

If you need to receive payments from global clients and then withdraw the funds in your local currency, Payoneer’s Local Bank Withdrawal service is just right for you. With this service, available in over 150 countries and currencies, you can withdraw funds from your Payoneer account directly to your local bank account or preferred eWallet, in local currency.

To use this service, follow these simple steps:
1.  Log in to your Payoneer account.
2.  From the main menu, select Withdraw and then To Bank Account.
3.  If you have never used this service, you’ll need to add a bank account in order to begin withdrawing funds.
To do so, click Add Bank Account and follow the on-screen instructions. Once submitted, your account details will be reviewed and verified – this process generally takes a few business days. You will receive an email confirmation once your bank account has been verified and you can then begin withdrawing funds.
4.  To make a withdrawal, begin by selecting your bank account. Note that if you have several accounts, you will need to select the relevant one from the drop-down list.
5.  Enter the details of your withdrawal request and click Continue.
6.  For security reasons, you will need to verify your account information and review the withdrawal details to make sure that they are correct. Once that is completed, simply submit your withdrawal request and you’re done!
7.  Exit the page securely by clicking Sign Out.
You will receive an email confirmation after every withdrawal request that you submit. The estimated transfer time is 1-3 business days for local bank transfers, and 3-7 business days for wire transfers.

USING AN ONLINE EWALLET WITH PAYONEER

To ensure secure payments, many people chose to simplify their finances and upgrade to a virtual wallet (eWallet). An eWallet is a service that allows a you to upload funds (or receive funds) into an account (through a bank transfer, credit card, debit card, etc.), and then use the funds stored in your account to make payments with online and/or brick-n-mortar retailers.
Some examples of popular eWallet providers are Paypal, Skrill, Moneybookers and Google Wallet.

Need to withdraw funds from your eWallet to Payoneer?

  • Before you add your banking details to your eWallet, consider first that some solutions require a personal bank account in your local country. Payoneer offers local receiving accounts in various countries via the Global Payment Service; however, some eWallet solutions require a bank account that can both receive AND send funds.  In this scenario, you will be told the bank account details (provided via the Global Payment Service) are not valid.
  • If you don’t have a local bank account or simply prefer to connect to your eWallet via your Payoneer Prepaid Mastercard®, you must have money loaded on the card in advance before verifying the card details of your eWallet account (we recommend $10-$20 USD). Next, simply set the card as your main payment method so any billing transaction will be directed to the card.

If you recently opened up your Payoneer account and don’t yet have funds on your card, you have a few simple options:

  • Do you work with marketplaces like 99designs, Upwork, PeoplePerHour, Amazon, or any of our 2000+ partners? All you need to do is log in to your preferred marketplace website and select Payoneer as your method for receiving payments. Payment for your next project or sale will be sent to your Payoneer account, which will automatically be transferred to your Payoneer card.
  • Are you working with independent clients (not on marketplaces)? Once you finish your next job, simply request a payment directly from Payoneer and your clients can pay you via credit card, eCheck or local bank transfer, which we’ll automatically transfer to your Payoneer card.

We’ve gathered some helpful tips for you to make sure your use of the Global Payment Service is effortless!

DO…

  • make sure you send the company the relevant details for the currency in which you want to receive payment (USD, EUR, GBP).

 

    • note that Payoneer receiving accounts can be used only for the following bank transfers: ACH for USD, SEPA for EUR, BACS and FPS for GBP.
    • use your Payoneer receiving account to receive Amazon disbursements if you sell on Amazon USA or Amazon Europe.
    • remember to select checking as your account type when adding your Global Payment Service receiving account as a payment method.
    • consider sending the company a payment request if you’d like to offer more ways to pay you.
    • contact Customer Care (and not the banks associated with the receiving accounts) if you have any questions or feedback regarding the Global Payment Service.

    DO NOT…

    • request payments from companies that do not meet the Terms & Conditions of the Global Payment Service. Payments such as these will be sent back to the payer.
    • request payment from individuals. The Global Payment Service is intended only to receive payment from companies.
    • request payment via international wire transfer. This is not supported by the Global Payment Service.
    • use the Global Payment Service to receive checks from companies. The check will not be delivered to you.
