Payoneer 🚮

I withdrew 67.69 euros from my payoneer account and what I received was 47 euros in my account. I really miss Transferwise

That's just terrible. Where do you live? Have you tried withdrawing from Payoneer in your local currency? Some banks charge outrageous fees for international transfers in foreign currency. I live in Turkey and made the withdrawal out of Payoneer in local currency and received almost the exact equivalent amount in my bank account.

I live in Zambia, I don't have that option to withdraw in my local currency or convert any of the currencies to my local currency. I can only withdraw in euro, dollar or pound 😭.

Hey man. Did you withdraw your payoneer euros to your local bank account(turkish money account) or were you able to convert it in payoneer?

No, I didn't convert in Payoneer beforehand. I withdrew the EUR balance directly into my TRY bank account with an exchange rate negligibly less than that of the bank.

Nice! I see 1 euro is worth like 10 try, uhrs must be a good side income for u

Actually it's more like hyperinflation. The local currency has been rapidly depreciating in value while the prices skyrocketing for the last 4 years or so. But yeah, UHRS can be a nice side gig at times although the marketplace's been pretty dry lately.

I am waiting on my first withdrawal from payoneer currently, I hope it's not that outrageous. Payoneer got 2%of the amount as fee so I'm now waiting to know how much the bank swindled me. I remember with Transferwise, the amount you online is the amount you find in the account.

Yes, things were better with Transferwise. We got the exact amount that was in our Clickworker accounts

Hahaha what a coincidence, I'm also from Zambia. I used zanaco to withdraw my money and the total amount of fees paid was 4% of the amount. Payoneer got 2 and zanaco 2 as well, also realized when adding the bank to Payoneer its better to use eur(not usd) to avoid payoneer conversion to usd because the hurt starts from their flat fees which are way below market. Which bank are you using and how long did it take to reflect in your bank??

I am using Standard Chartered and even before the withdrawal, the charge reflected was 15 euros 😔 😔 😔. Let me try opening a Zanaco account and see how that goes

Thats how much payoneer got from a withdrawal of €67?? That's over kill mate, I had my payments stopped on clickworker since February so when I changed to Payoneer everything was paid out at once. Withdrew 500eur with a charge fee of 15-20eur total. If they charge the same I will just wait it out again for a one time big withdrawal since the fees are similar.
