Payoneer Alternative for Pakistan

by wajahatkazmi
20 replies
Hello,

I have been using Payoneer Mastercard to receive my payments in Pakistan from Amazon Kindle via EFT. The problem is that since last few months, my earnings have went as high as up to $30000 per month which becomes too much hassle to withdraw. Also, the currency conversion and withdrawal charges are terrible.

There is an alternative available in the form of Skrill but it doesn't allow me to withdraw more than $1000 from my debit card to my bank account every 60 days.

I can't risk getting cheques in Pakistan as they have been reported to get stolen every now and then. Can anyone please suggest and advice alternatives for receiving payments from Amazon Kindle?

Thank you.

    WebMoney is for ecommerce while Western Union and Moneygram require SSN which I don't have as I live in Pakistan.

      For receiving money, you don't require a social security number. All you need to show is an address proof i.e your driving license or passport

        I am not talking about receiving. How the hell can I receive without solving my problem of sending? I think you didn't grasp my question.

        I need help in sending the payment from there so that I can receive it here. To send from there via WU, Moneygram or any bank account; you need to have SSN which I don't have.

      Paxum. https://www.paxum.com/payment/index....iews/index.xsl

      Its what ton of 3rd world country marketers and freelancers use when they cant use Paypal.

      Edit: I just reread what you wrote in OP and I seriously dont get what problem is. With 30k/mth income you can afford to go open US Bank account in person, remailing services, anything else you need ... and then just withdraw or transfer money through American credit cards so why is withdrawal fee a problem then? You have to expect around 5% in fees for shuffling money around.

        I have read a lot of negative reviews about Paxum on Warrior Forum as well as on other websites. As you mentioned that Pakistan is a third world country, it's not so easy to get the visa and travel to USA to be available there in person to open a bank account. In order to withdraw $2500 daily limit, I have to do 12 transactions per day and to withdraw $30000 I need to make 12 transactions daily for more than 2 weeks. Plus, the currency conversion and withdrawal charges get as high as up to $3000. Another thing is that in Pakistan it is not safe to withdraw this much amount from ATM and roam around with it. Hope you get it. Thank you.

        Any other alternatives and suggestions would be appreciated.

          Paxum is #1 used service by 3rd world Adult website Webmasters. There is nothing wrong with their service as millions of 3rd world camgirls get paid through it. If you look, PayPal and Payoneer have far more negative reviews. PayPal has more negative reviews than any other service, because they are most used, so obviously more people will be encountering issues.

          Are you under impression that in USA people withdraw 30k from ATM at once? Or that they walk around with it? Who does that, anywhere?

          I am not an expert on Pakistan, but what you are asking and saying is nonsense. With proof of 30k income, getting visa from ANY country is a joke. The only reasons USA refuses Visas are related to no income or terrorist/criminal connections. So that sounds like you never tried it.

          Whatever you do, you will HAVE TO end up paying 5-10% in combined currency exchange and withdrawal costs if you are going through any method other than US Bank account.

          In the long run, anybody making more than couple thousand a year, is far, far better off just getting US bank account if most of the income is coming from USA, and if its coming from different country, then obviously bank account in relevant country.

          You are asking for a solution that does not exist, and its unlikely to exist unless somebody opens up a company in Pakistan to provide service specifically for people like you. Considering Pakistan is on same kind of lists Nigeria ends up on, I would not hold my breath for that to happen anytime soon.

    Though i am not in pakistan, i am in Nigeria and somehow, we share similar issues. Here are some things you should know:

    ==> Getting a Payoneer Alternative is hard.
    ==> The amount of Money we are talking about here is quite large
    ==> You do not want to use Check so avoid the risk of being stolen

    Now here are my Suggestions:

    ===> Have the Check shipped to a US address, then finally to your Pakistan Address
    ===> Take the Risk and Ship the Check to your Address
    ===> Contact Amazon and ask them if they can prepare a special method for you to receive your earning
    ===> Joint Venture with a US Based company you can trust or your IM Mentor or coach and ask him/her to help you withdraw the money and transfer the money to pakistan. Give him/her a certain pecentage btw 5--10%

    Well that's just my own opinion. I Hope it helps.

      You share similar issues because countrymen of yours and his tend to be by and large more interested in scamming people than earning honest living. That's a huge problem for honest folks who happen to live in places like Nigeria and Pakistan, and obvious advice to anybody living in such a country who is making enough money to support themselves in better country is to get out, relocate to a country with less issues and more honest general demographic.

    I haven't worked with Amazon that's why I don't know what payment options they have to send you your hard earning. If you can arrange a verfied PayPal account for your self (You can do that with your Payoneer MasterCard as well) and then if you know some local currency broker who deals in Paypal USD to Pak Rupees then it will good for you. Most of the Pakistani marketers are in regular contact with the local currency brokers.

    hope that helps

    One of the top internet marketers in Pakistan had the similar issues with recieving money over there. He managed to get Dubai work visa and opened bank account in Dubai and now enjoying Free Tax money without any sort of deductions.

    With $30000 earning per month, you can certainly afford to to buy Dubai work visa, which is not going to cost you more than $2000 and the the visa renewal will be costing something around $200 every two years; you will find it very easy to open and manage bank account in Dubai. Also its close to Pakistan.
    Maybe try out this option to get rid of all the hassle of Payoneer etc

    Hi there!

    I think Paypal is already available in Pakistan.. It's an effective payment processor, so try it out. Or you can just do Moneygram / Western Union.
