Requirements for Withdrawal
Before you start the withdrawal process, make sure you meet the following requirements:

Logging Into Your Payoneer Account
Once you’ve verified that you have all the necessary requirements ready, log into your Payoneer account via the official website or the Payoneer mobile app. For this guide, we’ll use the website interface.
Adding or Confirming Your Bank Account
After logging in:
- Navigate to your Dashboard.

Be mindful that processing times may differ depending on banking hours, currency conversions, or bank holidays.
Fees and Exchange Rates
Payoneer charges a small withdrawal fee, generally around $1.50 to $3 for local currency withdrawals. Additionally, if you’re withdrawing in a different currency, an exchange rate margin of up to 2% may apply. You can view the full list of fees on Payoneer’s official website.
Cancelling or Editing a Withdrawal
Once a withdrawal has been confirmed, it cannot be edited. However, if you notice a mistake and the transaction has not yet left Payoneer’s system, contact Payoneer support immediately. There may be an option to stop the transaction.
