ahmedlone112 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hey Fiverr community, I have a question: I am currently living in Pakistan so my only option to send funds from Fiverr to my bank is via Payoneer however every time I transfer funds they go straight to my bank account instead of staying in my Payoneer ( as in funds in my Payoneer that I can extract whenever I want). My friend is also a freelancer whose funds don't go straight into his bank and stay in his Payoneer funds. Is there any way I can do that as well? Thank you 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do have a question, why would you not withdraw anything and keep it in the Payoneer account? That is very risky, since a hacker can get a hold of your funds and steal them. So it's recommended to withdraw everything as soon as you can. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I don't use PayPal anymore. I move my earnings now from Fiverr to Payoneer, and a few minutes later I move the money from Payoneer to my bank account. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably withdraws his funds to his revenue card. That way the funds stay in the account until you use them through the card. Or until you transfer them to your bank. 1 hour ago, ahmedlone112 said: Is there any way I can do that as well? When withdrawing your balance, withdraw it to your revenue card, not to your bank. Of course, you do need to have a revenue card for that to work. And, of course, you can ask your friend how exactly he withdraws his funds. What does he click on, and so on. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try to use it with 2 factor authentication only, and move the funds right away. I never had any issues. But I did receive a lot of spam where scammers created a PayPal-like email interface to try and fool me into logging in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he chooses Fiverr Revenue Card for funds transfer purpose? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmedlone112 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Well, I did ask my friend about it and I think you are right, he might have enabled a revenue card but enabling that is not an option anymore. The reason I want to keep my funds in Payoneer for multiple reasons, one of the big ones being my currency is fluctuating right now and I'd like to keep funds in dollars if possible. I contacted Payoneer about this issue and they said something they can't change so I am not sure what to do here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Payoneer about this issue and they said something they can't change so I am not sure what to do here. If getting the revenue card is for some reason no longer an option, the only other solution I can think of is to keep your earned funds on Fiverr and withdraw them when the course is favorable for you (or when you really need the money). EDIT: It does bring its own risks, of course, like your Fiverr account getting hacked and the hacker stealing your money.

But my reason is that sometimes I have to do online shopping (i.e. to purchase any international product, graphic design templates etc.) that's where it comes handy. Don't be greedy. Transfer the funds to your bank account even dollar rate is low.. not safe to keep dollars in Payoneer account.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatpress Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I am facing same issue, I contacted payoneer and they said they can't do anything, it's is something fiverr can do. I contacted them and they say that we have changed our policy, even many other people are getting money in payoneer account but those who are attaching payoneer now are getting paid directly to bank. It is very strange. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waqas_graphics1 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Try to remove every bank you added to your Payoneer and then try a withdrawal from Fiverr. Don't add any bank account in Payoneer and use JazzCash app for withdrawing your funds. This may solve your problem. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatpress Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 @waqas_graphics1 I don't think it's a permanent solution. @fiverr_admin should look into this and provide a proper solutions for this issue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
