How to Open a Verified Payoneer Account and Link It to PayPal
Step-by-step guide for freelancers, businesses, and creators who want to receive international payments and manage funds easily — by TrustShopping.store
Whether you’re a freelancer, affiliate marketer, or eCommerce seller, having both Payoneer and PayPal gives you flexibility to receive international payments globally. However, many users struggle with linking both platforms. Here’s the latest and most practical way to open a verified Payoneer account and connect it to PayPal smoothly.
Step 1 — Create a Payoneer Account
- Go to Payoneer.com and click on “Sign Up & Earn $25” (optional bonus).
- Choose your account type — Individual or Company.
- Fill in your legal details (name, address, ID number, and date of birth).
- Provide your local bank account details for withdrawals.
- Submit and wait for Payoneer’s verification email.
Step 2 — Verify Your Payoneer Account
Payoneer requires account verification before you can start receiving or sending funds. Verification usually takes between 24–48 hours. You’ll need to:
- Upload a valid government-issued ID.
- Provide proof of address (utility bill or bank statement).
- Sometimes a selfie verification is required for security.
Once approved, you’ll gain access to a multi-currency virtual account (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.) that can receive funds globally.
Step 3 — Get Your Receiving Account Details
To link Payoneer with PayPal, you’ll need Payoneer’s virtual receiving bank details:
- Log in to your Payoneer dashboard.
- Navigate to “Receive → Global Payment Service.”
- Copy your USD account details (routing number, account number, and bank name).
Payoneer partners with banks like Community Federal Savings Bank (CFSB) to provide U.S. receiving accounts that can work with PayPal in many countries.
Step 4 — Link Payoneer to PayPal
- Sign in to your PayPal account.
- Go to Wallet → Link a bank account.
- Enter the Payoneer’s U.S. receiving account details (bank name, routing number, and account number).
- PayPal will send two small deposits (within 2–3 business days).
- Return to PayPal and verify the deposit amounts to confirm your Payoneer account.
Step 5 — Withdraw and Manage Your Funds
Once linked, you can withdraw PayPal funds to Payoneer or vice versa depending on your country’s PayPal policy. Inside Payoneer, funds can then be withdrawn to your local bank in Naira, USD, or any other supported currency.
Recommended: Use Payoneer’s Virtual Mastercard
Payoneer issues a virtual or physical Mastercard that can be used to spend your balance online or at ATMs globally. It’s handy for freelancers, online shoppers, and business owners who prefer card-based access to funds.
Common Issues & Fixes
- PayPal rejects Payoneer bank: Only specific Payoneer-issued U.S. bank accounts (CFSB) work. Contact Payoneer to enable this.
- Verification delays: Re-upload clear ID scans and ensure your name matches across both platforms.
- Failed withdrawals: Always check your Payoneer currency balance and make sure PayPal supports that currency.
Security & Compliance Tips
- Never buy or sell verified Payoneer or PayPal accounts — it violates terms of service.
- Enable two-step verification (2FA) on both accounts.
- Keep transaction receipts and client invoices in case PayPal or Payoneer requests proof.
Linking Payoneer and PayPal unlocks global payment flexibility — just ensure your setup is compliant, verified, and consistent across platforms.
Final Thoughts
Using Payoneer and PayPal together is a powerful combination for online entrepreneurs, freelancers, and businesses worldwide. Once your Payoneer account is verified and properly linked, you can receive payments globally, convert currencies, and withdraw locally with ease.
