Payoneer

[iampennylane]

Hi everyone! Anyone here using Payoneer instead of Paypal?

I've been a freelancer with Odesk/Upwork for quite a while na and laging LFT yung ginagamit ko to withdraw my earnings.
Good thing I learned about Payoneer, mas malaki exchange rate nya, although may $2 na withdrawal fee, bawing bawi naman sa exchange rate

If anyone wants to sign up and try it out, you can sign up here:

You get $25 bonus pag nakaearn ka na ng $100

May mga GTalkers din ba tayong gumagamit nito?

Scared to try Payoneer and I don't think macoconvince ko bosses ko to use this platform. As per Upwork, mas mataas naman ang LFT rates vs PayPal haha ok na rin ako dun.

^nung una medyo takot din ako since they are pretty new. Pero after a while I gave it a shot.
1 month na rin akong gumagamit ng Payoneer and mas mataas talaga yung exchange rate compared to LFT and Paypal. Yung earnings ko lang din sa Upwork ang tinatransfer ko sa Payoneer instead of LFT since yung ibang clients ko outside Upwork puro Paypal pa rin

Hehe Payoneer kasi kala ko Pinoy company nung una lol. Yung pagkakamarket kasi nila 😆  When you say higher, ilang pesos vs Google Exchange rate? Yung PP pansin ko 1.5 pesos (rounded off). How much rin ang withdrawal charges in USD ba or in PHP? Ilang days rin bago matransfer from Payoneer to Bank acct? Yung PP ko sa Eastwest bank ko na winiwithdraw so 0 withdrawal fee (as compared kay Eon).

So does it mean na majority here prefer Paypal?
Ano pong pwedeng irecommend na bank na pwedeng ilink sa Paypal?

Update: I finally used my Payoneer account for Upwork.

Ok naman mabilis matransfer. Within the same day pa nga yung nangyari hehe mga .50 pesos difference kay PayPal. Masama lang loob ko dun sa 2USD sa Upwork hahaha pero. Naisip ko dapat more than 300 USD ang iwithdraw ko para sulit.

Con: Yung approval sa bank account medyo matagal haha. Nakakaparanoid.

PS: Di ko pa nakukuha yung sign up bonus kasi kulang pa nilagay ko. Sa ibang freelancer FB page ko napulot yung affiliate link hehe will update here pag meron na.

I just signed up with Payoneer for my future transactions. I still have my Paypal account but haven't been using it for quite sometime.

@iampennylane sis BDO nga gamit ko hehe ganun pala sya thanks sa info!

Di ko pa nacoconvince bosses ko na gamitin ang Payoneer.

[iampennylane]

^yay for BDO Yung isa kong boss naconvince ko na to use Payoneer hehe

^^Yung paypal ko sis matagal ko din di nagamit until nalaman ko na yung transfer from Paypal to Gcash eh instant Tapos no fees yung pag withdraw, P20 lang charge for withdrawal sa atm Ang saya din hehe
