If you are a Freelancer and is not located in the United States, getting paid by your client or your online gigs can really become a hassle. Most of the websites can only pay via bank transfer since they are not paying through PayPal. The Solution Don’t worry, if you are a Freelancer and happen to be a global user for a website like Appen or any other website that does not accept PayPal, you have an option to use Payoneer instead. What is Payoneer? Payoneer is also a financial company like PayPal who can send and receive payments from all over the world. It can be your e-wallet or you can also order a Payoneer Mastercard even if you are living in another part of the world. Benefits: Receive Payments Online Of course, it’s obvious. The reason you would like to sign up is to receive your payments from a client. Most of the websites are now using Payoneer as a mode of their cash out so it will be convenient if you open a FREE account to them. Send Payments to Anyone in the World It works the same as other payment methods. If you have the account, you can send money to anyone as long as they also have a Payoneer account. So it is best to inform them to sign up with Payoneer as well in order for them to receive the money you will send them.

I hear for it and looks as very good alternative.

Yes because it gives you a US bank account number so other sites can just send it there.

@cherriefic true. I'm actually opening a couple of online payment options like GCash and PayMaya.

I've heard of Payoneer. I'm only on this site and one other and both use PayPal.

That's great! Actually, you don't need it if you're in the US since most of the other sites pay via the US babk transfer anyway.

I'm getting payments for my books in Amazon KDP via Payoneer. Since they can only pay in a US bank account.

For me, it's they minimum withdrawal limit is high. But it's the better than not getting paid.

can you transfer the money to a local bank so you can withdraw it through atm? are you a member of appen?
@cherriefic (10399)

Yes, you can. Once the funds are in your Payoneer account, you can withdraw it from the local ATM since you will have to link your bank account there anyway. I work some tasks for Appen too. They pay via Payoneer.

Yes I came to know of Payoneer but it's still new for many

True. But when they get to find a paying site that pays via Payoneer, they will need it for sure.
