As usual, just like any user account - it requires your email address and password.

Your contact details and security details.
Just to verify your legitimacy to transact business online.
I wont dive into that.

Payoneer will request for your ID as a native of your country.
Scan your ID(voters, drivers license, passport etc.) and forward it to them.
What’s the purpose of the account?
Your purpose for this account will determine whether it is right for you or not. And you should tell them exactly that.
You are probably a freelancer. Maybe an online marketer. Or a designer.

Latest by a months time the card will be in.
You can use this Payoneer MasterCard on most ATM's around the world.
And most importantly, you’ll have access to a US bank account that will be of service to you in several ways.
Quite interesting, right?
Unfortunately this was the bank account lots of people used on their PayPal account at first but paper is no more accepting it.
In fact, many people abused and used this service in creating a lot of fake Payoneer accounts.
With this virtual US bank account details, they linked to fake PayPal accounts to receive payments.
So PayPal no longer accepts the bank account details.
However, this bank account can be used for any other online business that request you to have a US bank account even as a non us citizen.
So let me show you how this bank account looks like.
- You go to the global payment service if anybody is paying you from abroad.
- They can pay into this virtual US bank account.
- If there is a request for your bank account, you can put forward this details to the payee.
- You can always receive, pay and then withdraw from this account.
- More importantly, it is possible to link to a local bank account here in Ghana.
Payoneer is a very viable alternative to PayPal in Ghana.
In conclusion, Payoneer will give you:
- A legitimate virtual US bank account
- A Payoneer MasterCard for payments and ATM's and
- Help you transfer funds from anywhere in the world to Ghana

Hi Nelson,
I am based in Canada. If i set up a payoneer account, can i get clients in Ghana to pay for services to my account? How would I communicate this mode of payment to them? It seems to be a good alternative for me because the paypal freeze has halted my momentum to advance my new startup project, which would have started in Ghana and gone on to the rest of West Africa
Very well, Kwame.
I believe Payoneer may work for you in Ghana.
With Payoneer, your clients who don’t have an account will be prompted to create one.
Hope this works for you.
please i do not have a payoneer master card but a visa card can use my bank’s visa card to withdraw from any atm without the payoneer master card
Thank you Samuel for your question. You’ll need a Payoneer MasterCard for withdrawals if that is what you’re looking at doing.
