Payoneer vs Skrill

Payoneer is well suited for freelancers whether or not they work on marketplaces. as it makes it easier to receive payments from clients abroad. More over it also takes a lot of hassle out of getting paid from international clients as well as sending cross border payments. It has some what limited implementation in e commerce type business especially where you need to automate the payment process

Skrill is my preferred way of doing money transactions abroad typically when I need a safe secured and efficient way of sending money overseas and the amount is low. Most other portals tend to charge a transfer fee for lower amounts but Skrill does not charge a transaction fee when I use the ACH Transfer even for lower amounts. For personal use, I have used the debit card to fuel transactions and it allows you the same facility as the debit card. If I need to complete the transaction within a day and want the money to be available in the receiving account overseas the same day, I prefer another portal that has the option of express service that Skrill does not offer.

Payoneer helps me a lot on my online business journey, it gave me the support and functions that I want.

We ended up using Tipalti which seems to have solved our specific needs better, though it is more expensive.

I gave Payoneer these ratings because of it reliability and the support that it users get from it. Payoneer support literally every country and has low charge of international transactions which is very helpful to new online marketers.

Before Payoneer, I used Paxum, a Canadian product, that was or is similar but more expensive. Also used Payza(later Ecopayz), and European alternative, they have their ups and downs, they aren't even listed in the Search above, basically they are both payment gateways that allow using several payment methods, and any payment gateway, the problem is they don't have any bank accounts associated with them, therefore they are more limited in that regard. Both use a card as the main withdrawal method, and both support international currencies, but there as I mentioned there isn't any bank account associated with them, nor there is a way to connect them to Stripe.

I have not used a similar payment method in our company with the same features as Skrill. Our company position with Skrill has been great, and all-cash transaction demands have been met positively. We selected it as the main method of payment due to its flexibility and lower transaction fees, which has saved us a lot of costs. The system updates all payment history to ensure that there is a reference in case of any dispute.

• Skrill is very convenient for each transfer amount up to EURO 2,500, and EURO 15,000/monthly.
• Possibility of hiring freelancers for my company with immediate payments.
