How to Use Payoneer in Pakistan in 2015

Payoneer offers an incredible payment solution for those who receive money from Payoneer affiliates. Payoneer in Pakistan is a particularly beneficial option since the world's most popular payment option Paypal is not generally available in Pakistan.

However, for those who are using Payoneer for the first time, it can be fairly confusing at first. This article will discuss everything you need to know regarding how to use Payoneer in Pakistan.

WHAT IS PAYONEER?

Avid followers of this blog, if there are any, will already know that Payoneer is a payment solution company that issues Prepaid MasterCard Debit Cards to freelancers and other people receiving income from foreign countries.

Payoneer.com


Payoneer cards can be used in Pakistan. How it works is that you receive money through a number of Payoneer partners (including Freelancer.com, oDesk.com, Elance.com etc). Once the money is loaded onto your card

You can sign up for a Payoneer card in Pakistan by clicking here (free $25 bonus once you load $100 to your card)

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING PAYONEER?

Since Paypal is not available in Pakistan, Payoneer remains the most reliable way to receive money from clients abroad. Although at times you may feel like the fees are high, you are guaranteed on-time money (within 2 hours of loading if urgent load option is selected).

You can withdraw money from select ATMs across Pakistan, or use the money at POS terminals at petrol pumps, shops, restaurants and other vendors. If you decide to go for Payoneer, you don't have to rely on local banks, which have a habit of charging hidden fees.

HOW DO YOU SIGN UP FOR PAYONEER IN PAKISTAN?

You can either sign up for Payoneer by clicking here (annual charge instead of monthly charge + $25 bonus once you load $100 to your card)
OR 
you can sign up directly through your Payoneer partner and pay a monthly fee and receive no bonus.

WHAT ARE THE PAYONEER FEES?

Below is the fee table for the card if you decide to order from this site. If you decide to order it through a specific partner, check out the fees for that specific card when applying for it. Most cards have the same fee structure, except instead of an annual fee of $29.95, they have a monthly fee of $3 (totalling to $36 per year).

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SHIP PAYONEER CARD TO PAKISTAN?

We did a survey and found that the average time it takes to ship Payoneer card to Pakistan is less than 25 calender days. This means that if you select regular shipping option, you can get your card within the calender month.

A large number of people got their cards within 20 days, but for some exceptional cases, it took as many as 40 days..

If you need your card urgently, you can pay extra and have it couriered to you within three working days. However, in order to do this, you have to pay a hefty fee.

HOW TO USE PAYONEER IN PAKISTAN IN 2015?

We have written in great detail about how to use Payoneer in Pakistan before, but since those posts are quite old now, we decided to write a new post about how to use Payoneer in Pakistan in 2015.

Once you apply for the Payoneer card here:

1. ACTIVATE YOUR PAYONEER IN PAKISTAN
  • Tear open the envelope you have received from Payoneer in the mail
  • Unpack the card and take out the activation instructions letter
  • Go to your PC
  • Go to www.payoneer.com 
  • Click on Activate your card in the panel on the right
  • Enter your account details to login to your Payoneer online account (these are the same details you chose when you ordered the card). The username is your email address and the password is what you chose it to be..  
  • Once you login, you will see a button you can click to activate your card. Click it!
  • Enter the 16 digit card number located on your card, and choose a 4 digit pin number.
  • Celebrate the activation of your card!

2. USE YOUR PAYONEER IN PAKISTAN

  • Your Payoneer card can be used in thousands of locations across Pakistan
  • You can withdraw money from selected ATM machines all over Pakistan.
  • Keep reading for list of Payoneer ATMs in Pakistan
  • View this list of MasterCard ATMs in Pakistan. Make sure you look out for the MasterCard LOGO  on the machine before you insert your card
  • Read on to see Payoneer ATM limit in Pakistan
  • Remember that all transactions in Pakistani ATM machines are done in Pakistani Rupees.
  • Remember: DO NOT CHECK ATM BALANCE FROM THE ATM but to check it online. Most machines in Pakistan do not support checking of balance of MasterCard cards, and your card could get stuck if you try.
  • You can also use your Payoneer MasterCard debit card at any shop, petrol pump or restaurant that accepts MasterCard payments. All big stores etc accept this method of payment.
  • You must enter in the AMOUNT IN RUPEES after converting the dollar amount that is in your card. You can only withdraw in rupees and not in dollars in Pakistan.

WHICH ATMS DOES PAYONEER IN PAKISTAN WORK?

All MasterCard ATMs. Currently, the following banks support MasterCard ATM transactions:
  • Samba Bank - Samba Bank is the best option since the bank itself does not charge any fee
  • Muslim Commercial Bank - MCB charges Rs. 250 fee
  • Standard Chartered Bank - SCB charges Rs. 300 fee
  • Royal Bank of Scotland (Faysal Bank) - Unsure about fee but it is not very reliable
  • Citibank - Citibank only has a few branches and ATMs left in Pakistan

WHAT IS THE PAYONEER IN PAKISTAN TRANSACTION LIMIT?

The per-transaction limit depends on the machine. Most MCB machines, all Samba and all SCB machines allow users to withdraw Rs. 20,000 per transaction. 

There is no limit on the number of transactions but different Payoneer cards have withdrawal limits so you should check that out when ordering your card.

    1. You can withdraw $30 from a Pakistan ATM.

      I would recommend that you use Samba Bank and withdraw Rs. 2500.

      The fees depends on your card, but most cards have a fee of $3.15 and a 3% fee on exchange rate (if the market exchange rate is 101, you can expect an exchange rate of 98).

      $30-3.15 = $26.85
      $26.85 * 98 = Rs. 2631

      If you use MCB, you have to pay an extra fee of Rs. 250 and if you use SCB, you have to pay an extra fee of Rs. 300. If you use these banks, withdraw Rs. 2000.

      Since you can only withdraw in multiples of 500s, you can withdraw 2500.

      It might be a better idea to use the money at a shop, restaurant or petrol pump since you will not have to pay the ATM withdrawal fee.

      All money is cut from your account and not the cash you withdraw. Your account cannot go into negative so make sure not to try withdrawing more money than is in your account after the fee, or your card can get eaten up or you can get charged a failed transaction fee of upto $1.

    1. Hey, you can add funds to your card by loading it through any Payoneer Partner (some examples include Freelancer.com, Elance.com, oDesk.com etc). You can also load some cards from load.payoneer.com using a local debit card or credit card that supports online payment.
      You can WITHDRAW your money from your card through a Samba Bank ATM.

    5. AOA brother. Can you specify where you ordered your card from? Some cards do not allow private load unless you have used your card sufficiently through the Payoneer partner through which you ordered it.

      Also, are you sure your card is working properly online? That could be another issue.

    1. Salam. This depends on the particular seller on eBay. Some only accept Paypal while others accept MasterCard as well. If they accept MasterCard, you can use your Fiverr card on eBay.

      Yes, you can load from most Payoneer partners as well as load your card privately (but this is limited on Fiverr cards - unlimited if you order your card from this site). Private load from any visa / mastercard debit/credit card can be done here - load.payoneer.com

      Send me a screenshot of your fee schedule from your account and I will tell you how much fee you will get charged. It varies depending on where you ordered your card from.

  6. Hello Abbas,
    Very informative and helpful.

    If I am correct, for 10,000PKR transaction from say SCB with present Dollar Exchange rate (101.78), my payoneer will show a transaction of around 107.39$?

    10,000PKR is = 98.25$.
    Transaction fee = 3.15$.
    3% Exc. fee = 3.05$.
    SCB Fee = 2.95$.

    Adding all is 107.39$.

    Kindly tell for online shopping or card swap at any shop there is no Bank fee or anything else other than 3% exchange fee and 3.15$ transaction fee?

    25$ bonus I heard gets adjusted in card issuing fee, it is not usable? correct me if I am wrong

    Regards
    Owais

    1. Hello Owais, I am glad you found it helpful.

      If you withdraw 10,000 PKR, that is right, you will be charged APPROXIMATELY $107.39. But the Exchange Rate mastercard offers is slightly different from that on Google so it might change slightly.

      There is no transaction fee on online shopping or card swap either. The only fee is the 3% exchange fee.

      If you order the card from this site, you will get charged an annual fee that is around $25. If you for example load $100 onto your card, your first year fee will kind of be subsidized and your account will get $100 - $29.95 (annual fee) + $25 bonus = around $95.

      If i am unclear please let me know and i will try to rewrite this better

      Delete
    2. Thanks Abbas, yes you are very clear. I already have the card which I had ordered form some other website.

      Glad to hear that I don't have to pay anything else then the 3% exchange rate on card swap/online shopping.

      hope our conversation proves helpful for other learners as well.

      Thanks once again & keep up the good work!!

      Delete
    3. No problem at all! Yes, it is best to use it directly instead of withdrawing through ATMs.

      BTW, fees vary dependign on where you ordered the card from. You can find your card's fee schedule on your account page once you login here myaccount.payoneer.com


      Good luck and thank you :)

    4. Hello Abbas,
      While online shopping or at petrol pumps/ restaurants, I think in addition to 3% fee, 3.15$ transaction will also apply. My card fee structure is same as yours, it says "ATM withdrawals or Cash Disbursement(via bank teller or in-store) fee per transaction is 3.15$

      Delete
    5. Hi, oh yes you are right. I guess they must have changed this recently since before there was only a charge for ATM withdrawal.

    6. Hello. Recently i went to MCB bank and the amount i could withdraw from my card was only 10,000 where as before i used to withdraw 20,000 multiple times. I guess they have put a limit on daily transactions. Can i withdraw 20,000 from standard chartered bank multiple times in a day or not?

      Delete
    7. Apart from Mcb and standered chartered do faysal bank also support payonner in pakistan?

      Delete
    8. Some MCB ATMs have a limit of Rs. 10,000 but most still have Rs. 20,000. I used my card at an MCB ATM a few days ago and was able to withdraw Rs. 18,000.

      You can also withdraw upto Rs. 20,000 from both Standard Chartered and Samba Bank. You can also use Faysal Bank (but only ATMs that were previously belonging to Royal Bank of Scotland before Faysal Bank took it over)

    1. There are thousands of freelancing websites so I can't really answer your question. Many of the major freelancing sites out there do send payments through Payoneer, but you will need to check with the specific website you are using.

  8. Today I tried to withdraw from MCB first time. I have 213$. First I try to withdraw 20K as I thought it will be withdrawn based on my calculation. But ATM says I am exceeding withdrawal limit, then I tried 15K but still same error, Then I try for 5K and it works fine, then I again try for more 5K and its again successfully, then I tried third time for 5K but again it said exceeding limit.
    I checked the status on my account I have been charged for two transaction rs 56$ +56$
    My remaing balance is 101$.
    So question here is this limit is initiated by Payneer or MCB ATM?
    Does each ATM (same bank or different) have same limits or different?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hey, no, that's definitely a problem with the ATM and not Payoneer itself. Which bank did you use? Some branches of some banks have incorrect balance settings and so they do not let you withdraw so much. I have never come across a bank that only lets you withdraw 5k at once. There are some MCB ATMs that let me withdraw only 10k but most allow for 20k. Try Rs. 9500 at a different ATM (preferably Samba Bank). Let me know how it turns out

      Delete
    2. I used Muslim Commercial Bank MCB ATM. It allowed 10K in total. Bank cut 200Rs on each transaction. I think Samba Bank is not in my city. I will try Faisal Bank or SCB next time.
      Also do you think If I go to another MCB Bank branch today then I will again able to withdraw more? OR now I have to wait for 24 hours to cross daily limits.

      Delete
    3. That is quite strange since I always thought the limit was PER TRANSACTION and not PER DAY. As far as I understand it, you should be able to withdraw more from another ATM. Yes please use SCB it will charge Rs. 300 but I think all their ATMs will allow Rs. 20,000 per transaction and multiple transactions per day upto card limit (mine is $5000).

  11. hi abbas bhai
    if i have 47$ or 120$ in my payoneer account then how much i want to withdraw from MCB ATM and how much total fees for each withdrawal ?

    ReplyDelete
  12. If you have $47, you should withdraw Rs. 4,000 (exchange rate is approx 98 after 3% deduction) + Rs. 300 MCB fee + $3.15 transaction fee.). If you have $120, you should withdraw Rs. 11,000 (same fees as before). As you can see, it is better withdrawing a larger sum.

      2. If you don't receive it within 30 working days, contact Payoneer and ask them to ship it to you again.
      3. You should be able to login without a card (if i remember correctly). Go to "Forgot Your Password?" and reset it and login. It should work I think

    1. Hey Memona, are you trying to load funds onto Freelancer or withdraw from freelancer? If you are trying to load funds on freelancer, I believe you cannot use Payoneer card since it is not a supported payment method. If you are trying to withdraw funds to your Payoneer card from your Freelancer.com account, go to Withdraw Funds and add your Payoneer account by selecting "Freelancer.com Debit Card option. Your Payoneer card can be used at most online vendors, except Freelancer.com and gambling/illegal websites.

  19. Hi Friends!

    I have an account with Payoneer and Bank of America is providing services for my this account. So in last days i wanted to pay my Fee to NVC from my account and i decided to pay from my Payoneer account and i deposited into my Payoneer account and submitted online payment form but my payment rejected from Bank of America so i contacted with payoneer team but they said i can't pay from my account i can only use my MasterCard for online payments. So i decided to withdraw my fund via ATM so i used Standard Charted Bank ATM machine but when you are going to use ATM withdrawal method from your payoneer account keep in your mind that which machine you are going to use does that support MasterCard machine? If that machine does not support MasterCard your card maybe sucked or transaction will be failed. Any how I used ATM machine of Standard Charted Bank. I taken withdraw of 30000 PKR but they deducted from my account 324.16 USD. I surprised that fee was 3.15 USD per transaction but i paid 24.16 USD for two transaction. So it is so much costly. I wanted to add pic of my statement but here I can't. So be careful about ATM withdrawal.

    Abaid.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Abaid, please read our latest post to see the latest cost of each transaction that you should expect. $3.15 is the ATM withdrawal fee, but there are other fees too. For instance, there is a 3% currency conversion charge (so you get Rs. 97 per dollar instead of Rs. 100 - approximately). Other than that, Standard Chartered charges Rs. 300 ($3) for using MasterCard in their ATM per transaction. It's better using Samba Bank since they do not charge any fee, and you only have to pay $3.15 per transaction and 3% currency conversion fee.

      Both banks I believe have a withdrawal limit of Rs. 20,000 per transaction. I hope this helps.

  21. Hi! I'm glad you found this post helpful.

    I would have recommended Samba Bank but it seems they no longer accept Payoneer Cards.

    From information I have, currently, the best rates are being provided by Bank Al Falah. You will need to make around 8 transactions of up to Rs. 20,000 each to withdraw the amount. You'll probably get charged around $205-208 per transaction of Rs. 20,000 so calculate how many transactions you need to make accordingly.

    I hope this helps!

    1. Sorry to hear you have not yet received your card. I would advise you to wait ten more days, and if you still don't receive it, contact Payoneer support and have them ship another card to you.

      Don't rush asking them to send another card because the moment you request another card, they will permanently block the card they had first shipped to you and if you end up receiving it, you won't be able to use it and you'll have to wait really long before the new card reaches you!

      Hope this helps.

    1. AOA brother. Unfortunately, you can either load your card with money using a local debit card that works online, or load funds from Payoneer partners (including fiverr, odesk etc).

      If you don't have a local debit card that works online (which I am guessing you don't - since you need Payoneer to make online transactions), your best bet is to make an account on a Payoneer partner and try your luck earning some money there.

      I hope this helps. Sorry for the late response.

    1. Hi Umar. Yes, they will charge you a considerable amount for delivering via DHL but you are guaranteed delivery. I think it costs approximately $25 for this kind of delivery and the card arrives within 10 days.

      Otherwise, you can try having the card delivered to another address. May I ask where you are based? If it is a smaller town, you might want to ask someone in a bigger city to receive your card from abroad and forward it to you via TCS.

  31. Hello.. i have a fiverr revenue card (Payoneer master card)

    please tell me.. Can we withdraw 30$ from payoneer card in pakistan atm if yes so please tell me what is the fees and when i withdraw that they charge from my payoneer account or from my withdrown cash

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hello! Yes, you can withdraw $30 from ATM in Pakistan, but I would strongly advise against doing so. Charges depend on many things, including the rate your card charges per ATM withdrawal. Most cards including newly issued Fiverr cards charge $3.15 per transaction. Additionally, non USD transactions are charged at 3% rate for currency conversion. The only bank offering no charge on their end in Pakistan these days is Bank Al Falah. If you withdraw through Bank Al Falah, you should be able to withdraw Rs. 2,500. Any other bank you should only try Rs. 2,000.

      The fees that are deducted are deducted from your account and not the amount that comes out. However, the fees are charged at the same time the withdrawal is processed so you need to have money to cover all fees in your account in addition to the amount you are withdrawing. In your case, since you have $30, this does not mean that you can withdraw Rs. 3000 since $3.15 + 3% fees + bank fees must be subtracted first. Only then can you determine the PKR amount you will be able to withdraw.

      It might be a better idea using this $30 through a POS terminal at a shop, petrol pump or restaurant since you will only get charged 3% and you can probably use Rs. 2,900 without any problems.

      If my message is unclear, let me know and i will try to explain better.

  32. Hello Abbas,
    I signed up on payoneer using the above referral link provided by you. I loaded 206$ into my payoneer account and received an amount of 174.50$ deducting annual fee of 29$ and standard loading fee of 2$. But I didn't receive referral bonus of 25$
    When I contacted payoneer customer support service in this regard they said that I've signed up using regular website,even though when I signed up,payoneer website showed that I was using referral link and I also received a confirmation email by them. Now please guide what should I do to claim my referral bonus?

    1. Hi, my apologies for the late response. That's quite strange. Are you 100% sure you signed up through the above referral link? Do you remember what date you signed up? I can check if I made a referral on that date.

      Sometimes it takes a while for them to process the bonus, but they shouldn't have told you that you didn't sign up using a referral link unless you actually didn't...

      Are you still having this problem?

    1. Hi Adeel. You shouldn't have requested another so soon. From everyone i have spoken to, it normally takes between 20-30 working days to receive the card in Pakistan. You should wait. Don't consider the expected date they are giving you since our postal system is a bit slow and it may take time for it to come through.

      If you don't receive it within 30-40 days of it being dispatched, please feel free to contact me here and I might be able to assist you in tracking it.

      Don't worry about your money disappearing via Payoneer. It is very safe and I have never heard of them messing around with people's money. I have been using it for around five years and never have i faced any trouble.

  34. Assalamualikum,

    Abbas, I must admit that your blog has the best information I have found on the internet on Payoneer in Pakistan - Thanks.


    I have a question. I am expecting a payment on my Payoneer of $680 which is after the transfer fee should be $659.6.

    As per your advice, I will take it all out using Samba ATM.

    What do you think the amount I should receive in PKR after all deductions?

    Also FYI, I just made a transaction on my Payoneer of PKR 1,000 at Bank Alfalah Bank ATM in Shahra'e'Faisal, Karachi. The total amount got deducted was $13.03 and the exchange rate offered by the bank was 0.009545 USD is to 1 PKR = 1 USD equals PKR 104.77.

    Therefore, according to my understanding the total transaction cost me $3.485.

    Can you guide me further on this, of how much I should receive once I have $680 deposited and after applying the 3% deduction $659 should be the amount reflecting.

    Also, what do you mean by 3% exchange rate charges? Because if you see the exchange rate applied on my transaction on BankAlfalah today was exactly what's on Google.

    Please get back with me ASAP. I will look forward to your reply before I go ahead and use Payoneer for the transaction.


    Thank you

    1. Waalaikumassalam. I am glad you found this blog useful and informative, and thank you for your message.

      Please note that as per the latest post on this blog, Samba Bank no longer supports MasterCard transactions. Luckily, Bank Al Falah does support Mastercard now and they, like Samba Bank previously, do not charge any additional fee.

      I would recommend you make three transactions of Rs. 20,000. Currently, the exchange rate is approx PKR 104 / USD. If you subtract 3% from this, you will get exchange rate of 100.88. You should calculate all transactions from this rate.

      Further, the ATM withdrawal fee is typically $3.15 (though it may vary depending on where you got your card from). This means that each Rs. 20,000 transaction will cost you (20,000/100.88) + 3.15 = 201.4. To be safe, just round this figure up to $205.

      You should then login to see if you have sufficient amount for a fourth transaction. As per my calculation, you should have spent $615 on the three transactions and have around $44 left.

      I would advise that you just use the remaining sum to pay for fuel and groceries worth approximately Rs. 4350 (to be safe).

      If you decide to go for a fourth ATM transaction, you should be able to withdraw 3,500 safely (probably 4,000 but it might not be worth the risk).

      Try avoiding making small transactions such as RS. 1000 since the fees make a higher proportion of the amount withdrawn and it becomes really expensive. I hope this helps!

      If you have any further questions, feel free to get in touch and I will try replying ASAP. Thanks.

    2. It seems I misunderstood your post in my previous reply. The 3% deduction occurs at the time of ATM withdrawal and not at time of loading of card. At time of loading of card, only loading fees (which may be subsidized by your Payoneer partner) will apply along with any due monthly/annual fee, activation fee etc.

      When you withdraw, you should typically expect a 3% reduced exchange rate, although I am surprised you got such a good exchange rate at Bank Al Falah. I have been using the card over the last few weeks and I have been getting rate of around PKR 101 / USD.

  35. How Much Payement Limit To recive From Payoneer Card in pakistan per transection

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. ATM withdrawal limit is Rs. 20,000 per transaction.

      Most cards have a daily withdrawal limit of USD 2,000 per day (unlimited transactions).

      Therefore, you can withdraw around PKR 200,000 per day from ATM in ten separate transactions.

      Or you can make a single PKR 200,000 transaction at a POS terminal in a single day.

If so, you can either withdraw your money through ATM machines (please see the latest blog on the post to learn how) or use it at any POS terminal. Remember that since it is a prepaid card, you can only spend up to your balance amount.

    1. Hey, do you mean after 40-50 minutes or seconds? It seems like there is a problem with that specific ATM. I would advise if possible you using Bank Al Falah if it is in your area. It has no additional charges and seems to work best. If that is not possible, please try another branch of MCB. Also please select Current Account when prompted, and as in other ATMs, enter the amount in PKR and in multiples of Rs. 500 (no more than Rs. 20,000 total). Also I'm sure you know this but you cannot withdraw more than what is in your account since it is a prepaid debit card.
