This will take you to the Payoneer Sign Up Page:

Step 4

Fill in the necessary details and click next at the bottom, making sure to select ‘Individual’ rather than ‘Company’.

Points to keep in mind:

The first name must be the same as the one used in your government issued id card and must be written in English
The last name must also be the same as what is on your id card
The email address used must be active as it will be used to access your account and through it, you will receive relevant communication.
Also matching what is on your id card is the date of birth
If you get all of these correct, you will have a greater chance of your account being approved.

Step 5

Verify your email address:

Step 6

The next step is to fill in your contact details as shown in the image below:

Make sure you input active phone numbers as you will be using them for verification purposes and withdrawals. Click next when done.

When done click next and if everything is as should be, you will be one step away from creating your account.

Step 8

Fill in your bank details and submit. Refer to the image below

Once that is submitted, you will see a screen telling you ‘congratulations’ that your account has been created and is awaiting review.

You are done, sit back and wait for the approval to show up on your email.

In my case, here is the email l got from Payoneer upon completion of the application form:

As you can see, it will take somewhere around 3 business days to get a reply. However, I have found that it does not take that long.

At this stage, everything should work out well, but if there is any issue with your application, the Payoneer will communicate with you in the email as is the case with this tutorial application here:

Now you can see that it did not go through because l already have an existing Active Payoneer account. So that is it for your Payoneer account.

What you have to do now, once your account is approved and created, log into your account and you will see that Payoneer has provided you with at least 2 account numbers. (I cannot show the image here for reasons you already know).

With these account numbers, you can receive payments from around the world.

You did not create a Payoneer account just for the fun of it, you created it to use it to either pay or collect payment.
