Payoneer South Africa review
Below are some of what users of the financial institution's services have to say:
Payoneer is one of the best, they allow someone to link more than account to the Payoneer account. This encouraged me to business using Payoneer.
First to note off their excessive charges, if u don't use your account within 12-months you also get charged, absurd, they should review their charges.
My overall experience with Payoneer is really nice because I have received my freelance payment a lot of times through Payoneer. I really like the services and features of Payoneer.
