Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I am wondering if anyone has gotten this email
Quote:
Please note that we can no longer make local bank transfers to your bank account. To continue getting paid via Payoneer, please reply to this email and tell us how you want to receive your funds. To keep receiving international payments with low fees, you can order a Payoneer Prepaid MasterCard®. This card will be credited when you get paid. You can then use your card to make purchases and withdraw funds from ATMs in over 200 countries.
Alternatively, you can receive funds via SWIFT (wire) transfer in USD, or via paper check in your local currency. Please note that each wire transfer is subject to a fee of $15, plus any correspondent bank fees.
I Am not sure what to do now I've been very happy getting direct deposit global transfer and paying $3 per transaction.

Oh you're kidding me! Is this for every country? I get global for mgf and mfc

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
No I still get bank transfers. Got one today in fact. (but I have the card also for the few sites that do not offer the bank transfer option).
Maybe it's just your particular bank or your area? That really sucks though.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I got that message two days ago. I'm in Canada, so maybe they aren't doing it for us anymore? They also fucked up my pay from SM last Friday. I got the message saying I'd been paid but didn't get the follow up one that said the transfer was initiated. Next day I started calling and sending emails. They said the payment was going through but it wasn't in today. Its always in my bank on Wed. Plus, a payment I got on Sunday was in on time.
I called and they said my complaint has been sent to the proper dept and they'll get back to me. WTF?....I need my money and they're going to take their sweet ass time getting it to me.
Ooops...didn't mean to go off on a rant...Lol....but yes, I'm not allowed bank transfers anymore either.

Oh crap!
I am in Canada and just got paid through global transfer. I haven't got an email about it yet but I have a super bad feeling if they are hitting Canadian girls that I might be getting one soon.
This freaking sucks. :/

I guess they might be taking their sweet time with letting everyone know about it? It does suck! Bank transfer was way more convenient for me and cheaper.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
If the sites (or a certain daily pay studio) have US direct deposit, some Canadian banks have this option to receive it. (rbc)

I just checked my spam filter and I did get one.
I find it super strange that I got an email from them on the 22nd and that didn't get caught by the spam filters.
They send me an email to tell me that they were putting money in my account through bank account transfer on the 22nd and then sent me an email on the 25th telling me that I couldn't get bank account transfers anymore on the 25th.
So it looks like my money from SM is all fucked up now too with them just like yours. I also didn't get a second email to let me know that it was in process. My guess is that pretty much every girl in Canada who got paid through global transfer for SM just got fucked.
Thanks a lot Payonner.

You didn't get the follow up message either? That is fucked! Really strange too because on Sunday, I received a payment from DP and it went into my bank account today. What day would you have had it in there usually?
Make sure you contact them and tell them what way you want to be paid now. They might not just start putting it on your card unless you confirm it with them.
We better get our money! I can put up with alot but someone fucking with my money?! I don't deal well with that.

Nope, I didn't.
It does have a couple more days until it should be in my account though 'officially'. I just sent them an email to ask them what the fuck is up.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
Man I feel for you ladies and the whole thing makes me nervous. Why can't all sites just offer actual real direct deposit? (especially a huge site like Streamate)!

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I've seen some that do transfers right to the bank but it only seems available to US performers. I'm not a rich person. I really need my pay and was told it could take a couple business days for someone from the "right department" to get in touch with me. Who knows how long it will take for them to fix it. Luckily the money I made on Saturday did go through and I can make rent....otherwise I wouldn't have it. That was the last bank transfer they did for me. Now I'm back to using the card.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I am sorry u girls have to go thru this hassle, luckily i use the card, what i believe here, they realized the fee they charged for these global transfers was too low compared with let's say the card fees that are a lot higher; i mean u get charged for everything when using the card, even for checking balance or if u try to pull more money than u have let's say.
Guess the costs of this service for non US citizens/ banks was too high compared with the profits but why not increasing the fee to a reasonable one?!
I just hope they will not increase card fees as well, they high enough already, i mean if u use the card for all kind of transactions the fees add up quickly to a 'nice' amount.
That's why i pull all of my money as soon as i receive them & use cash here, this way i only pay once for pulling them out at bank cash machine.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I tried to sign up for global transfer a few months ago and they told me that in Canada that is no longer an option, so I was wondering if they were going to let people keep it or get rid of it altogether.

Little bit of trivia, direct deposit can only really happen between business and personal accounts. Business to business direct deposits (ACH) are capped by regulations to about $5000/month for the sender. SM deals with a lot of businesses, both studios and models incorporating. Leaving just wire as an option allows them to have one blanket policy for anyone that wants a bank to bank transfer (business, personal, and international). It also leaves a stronger paper trail for a record of payment.

This freaking sucks. :/
When I called the agent said it is for Canada and Chillie.
So now I have the money going on the card. since I figured that withdrawl fee is still about $3 per transaction I just have to budget things properly when I Am using that card for monthly payments on my internet marketing business.
I had a nice vocal chat with myself it might work out better for me. to have a card that forces me to budget because of foreign transaction fees. and then also I have to keep on eye on these fees to probably write off on my taxes.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
What if SM just had a Canadian Account? Then they could make the deposits themselves with a tiny fee into our Canadian Account right??

Since I had global transfer I didn't have any money on the card since they charge a fee every month and eventually it deactivated.
If they plan on making me pay $20 to reactivate my card I am not going to be happy. Did they charge you the $20 to activate your card?

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
Mmm the latest it ever comes through is Thursday. And my Sm pay is still not in. I had two emails on Friday about the transfer and I've not received anything else. Just what I want to do on my day off - live chatting Payoneer.

I didn't need to pay for it to be used again, so you should be fine.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I finally received an email back from them and all it said was they aren't doing global transfers anymore. Said nothing about where my money is or when I'd get it. I sent a very direct email back about what I thought of this. I've been with payoneer since 2011 and never had a problem. Now they're doing something that makes me wonder if I should even deal with them anymore.

Good point, but then I would be declaring to my case that my payments come from Streamate, rather than saying Payoneer with a reference for the transaction. (SM directly on my file, would be interesting..they always ask who pays me.) Can't believe they decided to do this of all times, they chose this week..

I haven't heard from them at all today yet.
I am not impressed with payoneer anymore either. I mean, they gave us what? 3 days notice that this is coming even though Bootsie said they told her that they stopped offering Canada global transfers months ago? It isn't like they haven't know something was coming down the pipe and didn't have time to warn us.
The problem is I am not sure who to go with if I left payoneer. I was thinking of paxum but after seeing the offical paxum thread here I am wondering if that would be going out of the frying pan and into the fire at this point. :/

Interesting.
I wish they would at least offer *real* direct deposit to those of us who have personal accounts. MFC manages to handle it.
I hate how hard it is sometimes just to get paid in this business!
