Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I dont understand why shops wouldnt accept it! You just swipe the magnetic strip or the chip into the machine. There is nothing special required from their end they just swipe and then you enter your code or sign for it just like any mastercard. Why would a shop not be able to do that? Its just a Mastercard.

Mine doesn't have a PIN and that's where the problem lies. The swipe and sign thing isn't common in the UK.

How old is your card? A couple years back they released them with the chip in them so you just need your pin. Contact them and tell them to send you a new card and it will have it.

For years my card was in a drawer So I never had a need to even touch my card when it came to using payoneer. Now because of them not offering global bank transfer.
I've moved my card into a spot in my wallet and now will have to wait and see how well it works out using it to collect payments from streamate and cams and reset my PIN.
The more I think about it maybe I will go back to check in the mail at least I knew how it works with cashing them at money mart.

Yeah we only use chip and pin over here, swipe cards are considered ancient and associated with thise cards you have if you're in really bad debt and cant get a normal babk card lol. I'm embarassed every time i'm forced to use it. Payo came out with a chipped version but you can't get it if you already have the old one.

I only use the payoneer card and every Friday SM deposits the money at 5pm GMT+1 like clockwork and then I just transfer it all or in part to my card and I can withdraw it at any bank machine or use it in any shops that take Mastercard. I actually like it.
At least in the UK you dont even have to pay the extra bank machine fees for that you can just go to a bank machine and withdraw all the cash at once and you will only pay the payoneer fee.

We have atm fees too. So first there is the hassle of it being on the card and paying the fee to get it there, then we lose out massively as the $ is so much less than the £, THEN we pay stupid fees to withdraw it AND the stupid maintenance fee.

What I had done in the past is go get a money order at a grocery for under $1 charge and then deposit it to my bank. Will at least save you the ATM fee and the cash withdrawal fee which can total from 6 to 10 bucks.
Edited to add - be sure you know your Payoneer pin # because I needed to put it in to buy the money order, just swiped my card, put the pin in then bought the money order. I always allow a few bucks for that 2% cross border fee so if I have 100 on the card I get out 95 on the money order.

They are often used by those who don't have a bank account or also for transactions with strangers where they won't want to accept a check that might bounce but will accept a money order because it can't bounce and without the risk of carrying cash.
My grocery charges 85 cents for it and that way I avoid the $3 Payoneer cash advance fee and also the ATM fees. They still charge me the cross border fee because my card was issued by Camcontacts which is based in Belize. Wish I had known that before, would have gotten my card issued from MFC.

this is really bizarre. even though I'm not in Canada anymore I still have my CA bank account tied to payoneer. one of my side sites paid me today and I received the usual payoneer message "site has transferred a payment to your bank account ending in XXXX".
checked my email and spam and def no notice from payoneer either regarding any CA GBT issues.
anyone else who has Global Bank Transfer tied to a CA bank account still able to use it?

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
We don't have money orders here just chip and pin cards and cash. You can't pay in shops with cheques and no one uses swipe cards anymore. I'm not sure whether that makes us advanced, or behind. Either way getting any kind of payment from the US is a royal pain in the ass!

OK seems I was using the wrong terminology for UK folks. Looks like it's called a postal order?
Maybe you can do this:
http://www.postoffice.co.uk/postal-orders
I deposit my money order right to my bank and it credits in 1 to 2 days.
but either way you are right it's a royal pain! I really don't like having to get a money order for Payoneer here either, just an extra step that is aggravating and time consuming, but not wanting to lose 8 to 10 bucks getting $ off the card.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
Finally got an email from payoneer support 4 days later telling me that I had emailed them from a different email address then the one I registered with. Emailed them back from the right email address.....can't wait to see what the next hoop that they will force me to jump through to get the answer to where my money is.....which will probably take them another four days to get back to me and tell me about.
(*sighs*)

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
Im at the post office about four times a month now... I use money orders to pay the bills I can't pay online with the payoneer card... it registers as a credit card to some companies and an out of country card for Spotify. It's weird. And inconvenient, but it gets the job done.
I had to get a new card in October last year, and the new card they sent me had a chip in it where as my first one (from May 2014) did not have a chip.

There is an easy-ish workaround we found for our own non-US models, so it isn't a real impediment to our business any more.
Ooooh...can you tell me what the workaround is? Because I just had a MASSIVE issue today with the ATM cash out and then deposit into normal bank thing, and I need another way to get $ off my Payoneer, ideally straight into my bank account.
Because if you drill down and do the math on your ATM withdrawals, you discover that Payoneer hides a % charge AND a shit exchange rate. My most recent estimate is that it is about 0.10 worse than the shittiest exchange rate from a bank. So...yeah. Why is getting paid internationally such a fucking pain? Free trade, but only for massive businesses in "good" industries, I suppose.

Weirdly, iTunes will not accept the Payoneer card, it is the only online shopping place that has refused it. Some ATMs in Canada won't let me take cash out on it.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I always use my Payoneer card at Asda and ask for cashback.
That way I don't have to pay the atm fees.
Or
When I get payments under £400 into Payoneer I usually just buy a Tesco or Asda giftcard online and just use that for foodshopping.
Saves me from the fees and swip hassle.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o
I just signed up with streammate a couple of weeks ago. I picked the check option. I was looking into the payoneer mastercard. If im reading this correctly. They charge for every single transaction? Im from the U.S btw.

Re: Payoneer making changes to global bank transfer - Did you get this email o

Did you have to contact SM to have your Payee ID # changed? This is going to be my last payment from SM cuz I've been saying fuck you to them for awhile with all theissues it's not worth it to keep working on there. Now I'm thinking I won't be getting this money anytime soon. Every time I call or chat with payoneer they tell me to re-register for the card, like really? I already have a card and separate account for the GBT what kind of company keeps making customers add more and more accounts? It's so dumb. They should be able to link them. Calling again today.
