Vivid and Payoneer IBANs no longer accepted
 

In the last few days trying to add Vivid Ibans to my ebay accounts, all in my name and name on Vivid is the same, but ebay tells me they do not support this bank and I get a reactivate message. Happened both on .com and .de. Anyone else with similar experience? And since Vivid and Payoneer use the same bank to get ibans, Payoneer is probably not accepted too.

eBay is phasing out IBANs that are "non-genuine bank accounts" (especially structures like Vivid/Payoneer).

I don't about vivid but i've used payoneer back in 2015.
The service has help most freelance contractors from India, pakistan... unfortunately, the iban/card has been blacklisted by paypal and ebay.

You can check out swirl prepaidcard or westein prepaid card. But, be very careful with the last one.


Thanks

Payoneer have been flagged a long time ago.
A good alternative is Wise.

Re: Vivid and Payoneer IBANs no longer accepted
 

I have heard of decent success with Wise.

Re: Vivid and Payoneer IBANs no longer accepted
 

To determine if Wise is considered a bank, consider the following points:

Wise is primarily a money transfer service, not a traditional bank.
It offers multi-currency accounts for holding and converting money.
Wise is regulated as a financial institution in various countries.
It does not provide typical banking services like loans or credit.
Customer funds are held in segregated accounts for security.
Wise focuses on low-cost international transfers and currency exchange

it could be just a matter of time Ebay bans WISE

wise is not comfortable with business payments on personal accounts though and in general they have strict verification

only wise business is good for ebay as far as there are no problems with verification by wise
