Common issues when adding a new bank account

If you already finished registering your bank account details but they are not approved yet, it’s possible that we requested additional information. We recommend trying to find the latest email you received from Payoneer or you can open the Verification Center in your online account which can be found under the Settings menu for instructions on what’s required. The information will be reviewed within 3 business days and we will notify you via email if your bank account was approved or declined.


If you encounter issues withdrawing funds to your Payoneer account from an eWallet such as PayPal, we recommend you first try to verify a payment method on the website you are trying to withdraw from. To do this, you need to add a credit/debit card to the eWallet website to verify your account. You can use any credit card or debit card including the Payoneer Prepaid MasterCard if you already have one. For more information on using an online eWallet with Payoneer, please refer to our blog post.


There is a limit to the amount of active bank accounts that can be associated with your account at the same time. If you reached the limit you can remove one of your active bank accounts from your online account in the “Bank Accounts” feature that can be found under the “Settings” menu. Once you removed one of the bank accounts, you should be able to add a new one.


You can only add a bank account that belongs to you. If the bank belongs to you but the name is written a bit differently, you can proceed with the registration and use the name as it is written on your bank statement. We might request a copy of your government issued ID later on to validate your name. If however the bank belongs to someone else, you cannot add it. If the bank belongs to your supplier you may be able to use the Make a Payment service to pay them from your Payoneer balance to their bank account directly. To check if your are enabled for this service, check if you have the option in your online account for Make a Payment under the Pay menu and then select “To a recipient’s bank account”.
