How to Use Payoneer MasterCard in Pakistan?

Payoneer is a payout company, works just like Paypal. It is not a long since when Payoneer started its journey under the membership of MSP (Member Service Provider) MasterCard. It provides you with a free MasterCard (Debit Card) which is accepted worldwide for payments & transactions.

Payoneer came into being in 2005 with its headquarter in New York, but due to the company’s awesome and reliable payment services its sub-branches have now been expanded all over the world.

Payoneer MasterCard:

Payoneer offers both bank transfer facilities and MasterCard service to its users. I must say now almost ten billion people around the globe are using its services to transact their amounts within and out of their nations. Why not, its services are so reliable and quicker that it takes you only a few minutes to send and receive the amounts. If you are using Payoneer MasterCard in Pakistanthen let me tell you that living in a country like ours where Paypal and many other transaction services are not available, Payoneer is the most reliable and faster access to have your cash with you. Withdrawing cash from ATMs in Pakistan with Payoneer MasterCard is quite authentic and convenient.

New Users:

If you are a new user of Payoneer MasterCard and don’t know how to access its withdrawing services in Pakistan, then not to worry just follow the given easy steps to enjoy your amounts and transactions.

Note: If you don’t have an account with Payoneer, then first kindly create an account and apply for a MasterCard, it will reach you in Pakistan within 30 days, here is the link to apply for a new card:

Step#1. Card Activation:

The very first step is the activation of the card. For this purpose, you can log-into your Payoneer account by visiting their website. Within your dashboard, you would see the highlighted links and directions of how to activate the card. Once the activation screen appears, you would insert your sixteen digit card number into it along with the chosen PIN. The time you have done it, your card would be activated by the company.

Step#2. Availability of Funds:

Of course before we withdraw amounts with Payoneer MasterCard, the funds should be available. If you have some clients abroad or working with an online company who is likely to upload the funds into your Payoneer then ask them to do so at their earliest so that you can see the funds to be available at the card. You can yourself add funds into your card via moneybooker, paypal or any other supportive online virtual account.

Step#3. Withdrawal of the Amount:

Now comes the time when you have to use Payoneer MasterCard at any ATM in Pakistan for withdrawing your amount. It is quite easy to use this card at the ATMs of Muslim Commercial Bank, Citi Bank, Faysal Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. Insert the card into the ATM machine and withdraw your funds, just like you are using a normal ATM card.

Step#4. Transaction Fees:

You should keep in mind that you would be charged a transaction fee of amount two hundred to five hundred rupees for every withdrawal of one thousand to two thousand PKR. Don’t take it to be a free to use card as usually ATM cards are, Payoneer MasterCard is supportive for getting the funds uploaded from all parts of the world, so it would definitely cost you somewhat higher for your withdrawals. Be aware to withdraw any amount more than two thousand within 24 hours, because it might lead your card get deactivated and decline your withdraw request by freezing your amount. Love it or not but this is true that these types of drawbacks are always to keep in mind while using Payoneer MasterCard in Pakistan. But despite all these things, I must say Payoneer MasterCard is the only reliable and most convenient option to get payments in Pakistan from foreign clients, because unfortunately Paypal is not supported in our country.

7 Steps to Get a Verified PayPal Account In Pakistan [UnSupported Countries] part 3

So How to Get Verified PayPal Account?

There are few simple steps that are involved in the process. These are all the steps that i followed and indeed they worked gracfully.

Step 1: Apply for PayPal Account (Will explain in a bit)
Step 2: Apply for Payoneer Debit card
Step 3: Get Payoneer Approval & Recieve debit card
Step 4: Apply for Us Payment Service
Step 5: Enter US Bank Details In PayPal (All is explained later in the post)
Step 6: Make Your First Widrawal
Step 7:Verifiy PayPal
Step 8: Enjoy and Pray for me :)

Step #1 Apply for PayPal Account

Go to PayPal.com and create an account. Enter your name and all the necessary fields. For Address, search for sample address of US. You can easily get that by search Google. There are tons of address that you can enter in the fields below.

Note that we're creating this PayPal account via US (United States). You can use another verified country, though this is how it works perfectly.

Now when asked for Phone number, do the same and search for sample US telephone numbers. Once done, simply hit 'Agree and Create Account' button.

Now you would be taken to the PayPal main menu/dashboard. You would notice that in the status bar it mentions that the account is 'Unverified'.

Once you would complete the entire process, this would turn up to 'verified'.

Step #2 Apply for Payoneer Debit Card

Go to Get Payoneer Debit Card and signup. Fill in all the details. Once done, you would then be asked to verify your Payoneer account. They do that before shipping you the card its self for your verification. 

You would get an email for verification that would lay down the details of how you can verify your account. Most likely they would ask you to upload your ID Card (scanned, or a picture front/back), or a drivers license, passport etc. Any of these would work.

I simply took pictures of the National ID card with my mobile and uploaded the pictures and it worked. (they would tell you the place to upload the document. So there is nothing much to worry)

Step #4 Get Approval

In 3-4 days you would get the email that your Payoneer account has been verified and that they would ship your card to your home (the address that you would give while making the payoneer account).

So do give the right information while filling up the Payoneer form. Specially the card holder name. Make sure that it is same as on your National ID card.

 Step #5 Apply for US Payment Service

Us payment Service is a service by Payoneer where by they allow their card holders to get a portion of their US Bank Account.

Basically, to get the PayPal account and get it verified, you require a US bank account. As you dont have that obviously, you would get that via Payoneer US Payment Service.

It is actually like a virtual account. Though you don't have the account in reality,Payoneer allocates you (Payoneer Card Holder) a portion of their bank account in US. ( Payoneer have an account in 'First Century Bank' in US.)

So once, you're approved as a card holder in Step#4, you would get an email to apply for US Payment Service if you're interested in receiving money from Companies like PayPal, Amazon etc.

You would simply have to fill in a question are that would require you to answer some simple questions.

Once done, you would submit that form and wait for another 3-4 days. You would than again get an email that your US Payment Service is approved. Your US Bank account details would be emailed to you. ( virtual bank account details).

These details include 'Bank Account#, and 'Securty code'. So by now,  you would have your own virtual bank account (via Payoneer US Payment Service) that you would enter into PayPal bank account verification system to get verified.

So your Payoneer card would represent your First Century Bank account. Every transaction that would be made in your virtual account would be seen in your Payoneer account.

Step #6 Make Your First Widrawl.

Sign into your PayPal account and withdraw around 4-5$ into your bank account. (your virtual First Century bank account). PayPal would ask you to enter your bank account details. This is where you would enter the details sent by Payoneer in the email.

PayPal would then validate your bank account (takes 2-3 seconds) and would transfer the amounts. You would then able to see these '2 transaction' into your Payoneer transaction list with in 1-2 days. these both transaction would be less than a $. (e.g 0.03 and 0.15).

These would just be made to test if you have the control over your bank account. You would then have to login to your PayPal account again and hit 'verify bank account' link on the right side bar.

Then simply enter these 2 amounts that you checked in your Payoneer transaction list. Thats all. It would verify your bank account and thats all! Wolaa!

You now have your very own PayPal verified account.

What is PayPal?

PayPal lets you accept or transfer payments online world wide. As its an industry standard, most of the advertisers are comfortable with the service and gives it priority over other services.

Is Your Country supported?

Here is the list where by you can check if your country is supported in PayPal system. 

Whats the problem with 'PayPay Verification Process' anyway?

The thing is, PayPal isn't avail able in the entire world. They have a set of countries that are unsupported. Once you try making an account at PayPal.com, you would notice that a bunch of countries aren't listed there.

Thats the deal.

Why to Verify PayPal Account?

 If you go ahead and apply for PayPal account with any other countries name, you would notice that you would be able to make an account. Though this account would be 'unverified'. 

Un-verified PayPal accounts hinder you in few of these ways:

1- Though you can accept payments online (From your sponsors etc by giving away your PayPal ID, i.e your PayPal email address), though you would not be able to widraw your money from your account.

That is you would never be able to see your hard earned money in your hand. Though you can always use your amounts online.

You can buy a domain online with your unverified PayPal account or order a mac book.

2- Unverified Paypal accounts are restricted to 500$ amount of transactions per month. So you cant make payments more than 500$ online in a month. Once the month ends, you can again use 500$ more anywhere online.

So to pull aside 500$ limit and to be able to withdraw your hard earned money in real life, you need to verify the account.

Hope that clears up the entire cloud of confusions. 

What is Payoneer Debit Card?

Payoneer is a great service that provides a debit card service (MasterCard) that is accepted world wide and is also one of the most popular debit card services around.

We would use this debit card to verify our PayPal account.

7 Steps to Get a Verified PayPal Account In Pakistan [UnSupported Countries]

Woho! Finally we were able to get our PayPal verified via Payoneer debit card in Un supported country i.e Pakistan. PayPal is an industry standard for online money transactions. Due to the un availability of the great service in Pakistan, it was such a hindrance for us to accept payments from clients and various advertisers.

It was so hard to reject those tempting offers, just due to the non availability of a reputable online transaction service that could act as a bridge to accept payments.

The only thing that kept me pulling back from verifying PayPal via Payoneer debit card was the legitimacy of the process. I doubted if it worked.

And trust me, its smooth as silk.
