Payoneer is an international payment service that many freelance platforms and clients use to pay freelancers. Pakistani freelancers commonly use it to receive payments and withdraw to local banks.
How Payoneer works
You create an account and complete verification. Platforms send your earnings to Payoneer, or clients pay you through Payoneer requests. You then withdraw to your Pakistani bank account.
Signing up
Use your real name exactly as on your CNIC and bank account. Provide accurate information and documents when asked. Mismatched details can delay approval or withdrawals.
Fees
Payoneer charges fees for some transactions, currency conversion and withdrawals. Check the current fee schedule in your account.
Withdrawing to Pakistan
Add your local bank account in your own name. Withdrawals usually take a few business days.
Security tips
Turn on two-step verification, never share your login or codes, and be careful of fake emails pretending to be Payoneer. Always log in by typing the official address.
Keep records
Download statements regularly for your own accounting and tax records.
