Payoneer is scamming a lot of people for years!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Payoneer is scamming a lot of people for years!

I'm a freelance music composer for media using Payoneer to receive payments from some of the largest international music library companies since October 2017. I have received dozens of payments each year without any issues until June 2023 when Payoneer canceled a payment from Pond5 (from whom I received numerous payments since registering with Payoneer) without reason and without contacting me about the matter.

After many futile online chats with their customer support, where they provided a bunch of excuses just to buy time and entertain me, my money is still not released and remains in their possession.

Upon researching online reviews and complaints about Payoneer, I came across sites like PissedConsumer, Complaints Board, Trustpilot, Ripoff Report, etc., where I read many (and I mean MANY) customer reviews spanning several years, all complaining about the exact same procedure they used with me.

So, it seems this is not an isolated incident.

Since almost a year has passed, and because I am tired of waiting for my money to be released, I will escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a U.S.

government agency dedicated to making sure you are treated fairly by banks, lenders and other financial institutions. Additionally, I will share this entire story with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) because they also appreciate learning about such corruption cases.

Heres my advice: If you are a freelancer working with international companies, stick to reliable platforms like PayPal and avoid falling victim to companies like the one I am complaining about - just as you would avoid a plague!

22 days down. Payoneer has still not transfer my funds as they say they my bank rejects they payment.

My bank has no issues getting funds from other sources so this is clearly untrue. It's 12 days since I heard anything from Payoneer " customer service" regarding this...

Updated by user Nov 25, 2023

Issue still not solved. Payoneer just keeps sending a bunch of emails that neither solves or helps situation. Any reply takes 3 days and adds no solution that clear this issue

Updated by user Nov 23, 2023

If my company changed to payment system (payoneer) i would be happy.

Original review Nov 22, 2023
Not my first time were Payoneer lies
Not my first time were Payoneer does not transfer payments and states fibs, which are easy to check
1) Payoneer states: "Unfortunately, this payment could not be delivered to you, because the monthly limit set by the provider bank for payments and/or number of transactions has been reached. These funds have been returned to the payer."/
2) My Bank says no transfer was initiated or rejected by Payoneer, and there is no limit to amount or transactions- So basically false
3) Now they say they returned money to sender (no true)
4) They say send amount in a smaller amount (see point 2, no such thing needed)
5)I have also seen that they have not blocked my account completely
I have not done anything wrong.

I am verified and up to date with their changes they never inform anyone off. A very badly run company or other reason I rather not say here

Cons:
  • Terrible customer service untransparent and unreliable service

Preferred solution: My money transfer

User's recommendation: Do not use Payoneer is you can avoid it, there are more reliable transfer services such as Wize and Paypal

Original review Mar 14, 2024
I live in Malta and I have converted all of my dollars into euros via my Payoneer app. My bank is in Serbia so I wanted to withdraw the money directly from an ATM.

However, no matter what ATM I try i get the same answer "insufficient funds" even though I have 5 times more euros than the sum I requested to withdraw. Is it even possible to withdraw euros at an ATM if we previously converted all the dollars to euros?

I'm scammed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Payoneer permitted me to withdraw my funds from Upwok, but then they unexpectedly requested my ID or passport. Unfortunately, my ID wasnt accepted, and I dont possess a passport. Now, theyve sent me an email stating that they intend to close my account, and theyre withholding my money without offering a refund. Adding to the absurdity, they deducted a $30 annual fee despite providing no services.

I got logged out of my account which I withdraw funds monthly. I have no idea why my password and phone numbers changed.

I tried contacting support but I cannot afford to wait two business days for thier response. That is ridiculous really. I need to make a withdrawal asap and I am so frustrated. I contacted them on all social media platforms but nothing helps.

I wish I could change from using this service provider. Zero customer care and assistance.

Payment cancelled issue

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I receive global payments periodically. This is now the 2nd time my payment has been cancelled.

The reason provided is that my "card" is inactive. But I don't have a card and the account was last used late December, just more than 2 weeks ago.

Contact support is absolutely a nightmare.

Pros:
  • Easy way of receiving global payments
Cons:
  • Keep receiving the faq instead of an answer
  • Difficult to contact support

Preferred solution: I would like to have my account made active and payments not declined

NZD account disabled, payment cancelled, terrible communication

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I get paid weekly into my NZD account. Then in Jan24, my payment gets cancelled.

I enquire with no response, until I post on Pissedconsumer. Then I get told that my NZD account was disabled with no reason given and no solution proposed. And I am also informed that the money was returned to sender.

After multiple emails, on why the money was not received in the senders account, I'm advised that it can take 7 - 10 business days.

I still do not have an active NZD account, so I can still not receive my money as before. And I will only know by end of the week if the money was actually returned to sender.

Useless company to trust your money to.

Transfer never received

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have transferred an amount of 798 dollars from Payoneer into my bank account in Europe and I haven't received it in three months! They said they are doing the tracing and then they quit tracing my money without ever sending me a proof that they did this tracing in the first place!

They told me that I should contact the beneficiary bank and they can trace my payment. I contacted both the beneficiary bank and the intermediary bank and not only were they not able to help but they found the fact that Payoneer told me that the beneficiary bank should trace the payment RIDICULIOUS.

I asked to be re-funded by Payoneer and of course that didn't happen either. They just decided to close my case without the money arriving to me and they refuse tracing the money, so of course I consider this money stolen, and I of course wont stop till I get my money on my bank account or refunded on my Payoneer Account.

Please avoid this "institution" they are super un-reliable and not trustworthy!
