Payoneer is recognized as a payment option by PayPal and several other online services. In order to use Payoneer one needs to . The application process is easy, and all you need is to be able to fill in your necessary details, as well as have a postal address where you will able to receive your card. Once you receive your card, you will need to log into your account that you created while applying for your card and put in the card number.
Using payonner is quite easy and it gives you the option of withdrawing using a bank account. Payoneer offers a US payment service where they give you a US bank account. The bank account is under your name and belongs only to you.

In Kenya funds can be withdrawn from a variety of ATMs such as Barclays, KCB, Standard Chattered, I&M bank; just to name a few. Different banks offer different conversion rates. In my opinion I&M bank is one of the banks to offer very fair rates. Some KCB ATM’s offer withdrawals in dollars. The I&M bank ATM at the Airport also offers withdrawals in dollars.
Payoneer is a great service to use. Although once you apply for the card it takes quite some time before you are able to receive the card. It can take up to 1 month before you get your card. In order to receive your card, you need a PO BOX where the card will be sent to.
If you want to
apply using my affiliate link. Applying using my affiliate link will enable you receive free $25 dollars once you withdraw $100 dollars.
And note Payoneer charges an annual fee of about 30$ for their card on available balance. Hence if you immediately load your Payoneer card with 30$ from PayPal and expect to withdraw, the amount will be deducted from the card. So for first time you load, load small amounts or just load what you want to withdraw plus the 30$.
