Pricing is transaction-based; no subscription price is published.
Frequently asked questions
What does Payoneer actually do for a business?
Payoneer is a global financial platform covering receiving accounts in 13 currencies, payment requests and invoices, checkout, single and batch payments, mass payouts, VAT payments, corporate cards, expense management, FX, working-capital advance and global workforce management through Employer and Agent of Record. It is the money-movement and cashflow layer for businesses that transact across borders.
How is Payoneer priced?
The site does not publish a subscription or seat price. Account opening is self-serve and free, and revenue comes from transaction-based fees on payments, FX conversion and cards. Because pricing is usage-driven, buyers should model expected payment volume, currency pairs and card spend rather than seat counts before comparing it to a flat-fee alternative.
Which countries and currencies are supported?
Payoneer states coverage of 190+ countries and territories, 13 currencies for receiving accounts, 70+ currencies available, and workforce onboarding and payment across 160+ countries, with local teams in 35 countries. Product availability varies by jurisdiction and eligibility, and some products such as cards and working capital are subject to approval.
Is Payoneer secure and compliant?
Payoneer states MFA, 24/7 risk monitoring, AML/KYC and licensing across key markets. The pages reviewed do not publish specific certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or FedRAMP, so compliance teams should request current attestations and licensing details directly before signing off.
How long does it take to get to first value?
Sign-up is self-serve and account opening happens online, so first value is typically measured in days once identity and business verification complete, not in a multi-month implementation project. Expect KYC/AML review to be the main variable, particularly for marketplaces paying many sellers or multi-entity structures.
Can Payoneer connect to our existing systems?
The homepage claims Payoneer connects from ERP through to data warehouse, but it does not name specific connectors or platforms, and no public API or MCP server is documented on the pages reviewed. Integration scope should be confirmed with Payoneer before assuming native support for a given stack.
