Frequently asked questions
What documents do I need to open a Payoneer account through Armenia?
An operating Armenian sole trader or company, the details of an Armenian bank account held by it, and passing KYC — Payoneer asks for documents confirming your identity, the business and your source of wealth.
How long does opening a Payoneer account take?
It depends on the case: our partner's price list says «from 1 day», their FAQ says «from two hours». The real timing comes down to how fast Payoneer's own compliance check (KYC) goes.
Who does Payoneer open accounts for, and what are the limits?
Payoneer works with individuals and businesses from more than 190 countries, excluding sanctioned ones; for Russian citizens only business accounts are available. Corporate clients take priority. The institution may decline to work with an applicant without giving a reason — that is Payoneer's own rule, not our partner's.
What fees does Payoneer charge once the account is open?
Opening and running an active account is free; a dormant account costs $29.95 a year. Withdrawal in local currency is 0.5% of the amount, in another currency up to 3%. Issuing and delivering the Mastercard within the US is free, the card's annual fee is $29.95 and a cash withdrawal is $3.15.
What can the Payoneer account do — cards, currencies, integrations?
Virtual and physical Mastercards, a multi-currency service for conversion (70+ currencies), direct account details in 7 currencies (USD, CAD, EUR, GBP, MXN, AUD, JPY), an API for mass payouts and integration with more than 2,000 platforms — Upwork, Amazon, eBay, Fiverr and Airbnb among them.
