Can I use my family members’ bank accounts to withdraw my funds

[kianusteve]

I am not a US resident and my bank account (Payoneer) is not working at the moment. Can I use my family members’ paypal account to withdraw my funds if they are US residents? Will I have to pay any tax or additional fee for doing so?

I believe you can only use your own account.

Why would you lie about your location? Obviously Payoneer will try to match your location with the account, and if they are different, that's not ok. Use your own account, if you use someone else's account, that might lead to major issues in the future. You can't just add and remove accounts as you please, pretty sure you can only use your own account and you can't change it. After all, most sites like Payoneer or PayPal just allow you to have one account. So..

You have to realize that the entire story looks sketchy. My Payoneer is not working at all but "conveniently" I have someone in the US that uses another platform which can get the money for me. I am not saying you're lying but the entire story seems sketchy. That being said, if it is true.. ideally you don't want to do that either.

What exactly happened to your Payoneer account? Did it get banned?

I had trouble linking my bank account to payoneer. Once I had verified all my credentials and added my account it showed me this.  I tried reaching out to them multiple times but they keep sending me automated responses.
