Hello all,

 I am a Brit in the UK and have been withdrawing to Barclays Bank for several years using Payoneer. No longer happy with Barclays, I wanted to change to Starling Bank. I removed Barclays from my Fiverr account and added Starling Bank.

 But when I clicked to withdraw, it showed the withdrawal amount only in USD (where previously, clicking withdraw to Barclays always showed me the sum I was taking out in GBP, just before I accepted and completed the withdrawal).

 Fiverr support tell me that withdrawals 'can only be made to Payoneer in USD or Euro' and that Payoneer drives this.

 Does that sound correct? It's the first time I have heard this. Thus, I have no confidence to complete the transaction as this is the first time in five years that it has shown me only USD and not GBP (nor any option to amend from within Fiverr, not even to the euros they have mentioned).

 I cannot fathom out how this now works--does Payoneer convert the currency to GBP itself after receipt, thus it should not even matter if Fiverr send USD? My British bank accounts only handle GBP and it's really scary clicking 'withdraw' when the sum shown is in USD and my end account will take only GBP, just in case it causes a massive... well, you can imagine the word I would like to say! Something beginning with F. Like 'fiasco', but worse.

 I am very confused as Payoneer's records also seem to show that all funds from Fiverr to date were in GBP, as if Fiverr sent it in this currency. I find the replies from support here really scant and uninformative. 

And aside from the above, I'd also love to know: do any of you Brits receive funds from Fiverr to Starling Bank successfully?

 Thanks so much,

 Annie
