Payoneer is expensive to use. And contrary to what some people believe, its not that great. It has somehow gotten a reputation to being the holy grail. I think its because they offer a virtual bank account
BUT bank is not easy or fast to get [I have 3 payoneer cards, so I know]
Getting the card is easy. But using it is not. You must use it with a partner regularly to get a bank. And you need to use it with a partner for months before you get the bank. Its not automatic and is approved by staff 1st
Fees are pretty high for international - Up to 3%
Unless you belong to and use regularly one of their partners its useless.
Its designed to withdraw from partners like freelancer, scriptlance, etc
They are very strict on its use. You can do card to card transfers, but only after you use it with partner for awhile.
Key point that so many don't seem to grasp: You WILL NOT get a bank with it. And it takes months before you do if, and only if, you use card with one of their partners lots. Card is next to impossible to load. You can not load money into one of their partners one way and withdraw to card. ONLY earnings can be put on card
As noted above, so many better cards out there. These are just no point unless you actually use a partner
