Payoneer: Free Master card for online payment

Payoneer card is a Master card debit card, a real and physical card (not virtual). It is open for both US and non-US residency's. Most importantly, you don't need any bank account to have it and it's FREE! You can use this card for online/offline shopping and ATM withdrawal anywhere that Master card is accepted. Another interesting point is, this card can be used to verify your PayPal account and you can fund your PayPal.


But one thing I have to mention here that you can’t apply for Payoneer card on your own. This is because they do not deal with "individuals". To apply for the card, you need to be referred by a Payoneer partner.

Payoneer has many online partners. You can start by signing up with one of them. Some of Payoneer partners are -

  • How to get Payoneer Master Card for FREE?

    There are TWO steps to apply for a Payoneer card. 1st, signup for a partner account and 2nd, signup for Payoneer. Here, I'll explain you to get your Payoneer master card from oDesk. If you don't have an oDesk account already then signup now. It's pretty simple, just follow the on-screen steps. oDesk will send you an activation email after the signup. Then go to your inbox and click on the link to activate your oDesk account.

    Now, sign-in your oDesk account. Go to the Payments>Payment Methods tab, then choose Payment options. There you will find "oDesk Debit MasterCard" and Payoneer signup link at the right side.

    Submit your user details and fill up the form correctly. 2nd address is the address where payoneer will send you the mastercard. You can use the same as your billing address or can use your prefered shipping address. On the 3rd part of the form, you will be asked to enter your passport number/ drivers license/ PAN (national ID) card. Later on Payoneer will ask you to submit a copy of the security document.

    An important note for address: Payoneer DO NOT accept business or C/O address, the address must be your private residence, so take care of this.

    Once your application successfully submitted, you will have to wait for your application to be reviewed and accepted or rejected. The review process usually takes a week or two and you should receive an email informing you that your application has been approved. The email will also inform you that your card has been sent to you by regular mail.

    Usually you will receive your Payoneer card within two-three weeks. Once you receive the card, the next steps are to activate it and load money on it before you can start using it. But please be sure to do the 1st load from the oDesk.

    ENJOY your free Payoneer card!
