Singapore Payoneer account setup - FAQ

Payoneer has integrated Singpass via Know Your Customer. This allows you to verify your identity using Singpass, a trusted authentication system.


In the Payoneer registration process as an individual, sole proprietor, or authorized representative of a company, you can choose to verify using Singpass. Once you complete the registration, you’ll receive a unique link via SMS, email, or in-app notification. Click the link to verify using Singpass.


Once you click the link you receive after registration, you’ll be asked to agree to the terms and conditions and data policy. Then, you can complete the Singpass authentication, review the data, and agree to submit it to Payoneer. Once completed, sign in to your Payoneer account to check if you have any other verification requirements to submit.


During the Payoneer registration process, you have the option to choose between Singpass verification or manual verification. Opting for Singpass verification significantly reduces the ID verification time for individuals, sole proprietors, and authorized representatives.


After 90 days of inactivity, the link will expire and you will need to re-register with a new email.


For all customers resident in Singapore, we collect either a national ID or work visa (NRIC/FIN). This ensures compliance with ID verification requirements and allows us to compare your ID number to your Singpass account.


Company document requirements include the following:

  • ACRA Business Profile
