Our verdict
Payoneer suits business clients that pay suppliers and spend across borders with a Mastercard debit linked to multi-currency balances and virtual card access. Monthly fee stays at $0 while currency conversion fee runs at 3.5%, so frequent foreign spending needs careful costing ahead of use.

Frequently asked questions
What does Payoneer charge each month?+
Payoneer charges a monthly fee of $0, which keeps fixed account costs low for business clients. That fee covers the commercial card account itself, while other transaction costs such as currency conversion and ATM use apply separately under published pricing.
How high is the currency conversion fee?+
Currency conversion fee runs at 3.5%, which sits above the debit median of 1.5%. Business clients that invoice or pay across borders should factor that margin into supplier payments, as frequent conversion can outweigh the low fixed monthly cost.
Does Payoneer include free ATM withdrawals?+
Free ATM allowance stands at $0, so cash withdrawals fall under standard ATM pricing rather than an included free amount. Business clients that rely mainly on card payments and transfers will feel this less than teams that need regular cash access.
Who regulates Payoneer in Europe?+
In Europe the issuer is Payoneer Europe Limited, licensed by the Central Bank of Ireland under PSD_EMI IE_CBI!C189473. It also holds authorisation with the Financial Conduct Authority under 966835, which supports regulated business use across covered markets.
What type of card does Payoneer issue?+
Payoneer issues a debit on Mastercard with multi currency and virtual card, supporting direct spending from balances plus online buying with virtual details. Multi-currency balances across 70 help business clients pay suppliers without opening separate local accounts.
Who is Payoneer designed for and how is support offered?+
The account is built for business use rather than personal or student spending, covering supplier payments and team expenses. Support is available through chat and help centre, so clients should be comfortable resolving queries by chat and help centre rather than voice calls.
