Why do you need Payoneer?

Payoneer offers a wide array of services to its customers.  It allows payment transfer between users and offers local receiving accounts for free too, in certain currencies (EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD). Currently, Payoneer offers overseas payment transfer services in 200 countries and works with over 150 currencies. Its focus, however, is tended towards professional and business uses only, unlike its competitor, PayPal. Payoneer charges different rates for its varied services. For payment transfers via a credit card, it charges 3% and 1% each for eCheck and local bank transfers. You have to pay a 1% tariff on receiving payments in USD under its Global Payment Service. As already mentioned, Payoneer offers forex services too, charging 0.5% above the interbank or mid-market rate. Today, I am going to discuss how you can close your Payoneer Account.

Generally, support staff from their end reverts back in an hour or so via email. They then ask you to submit some account details before they can put a stop to it, like your birth date, your full name, and the final four digits of the bank account linked with your Payoneer account.
