Payoneer: when it makes sense.
Payoneer makes sense when receiving international payments (marketplaces, overseas clients) is recurring; for domestic or one-off needs, a local bank is simpler and often cheaper.
Keep if
You are a freelancer or business receiving international payments.. You get paid from marketplaces or overseas clients.
Challenge if
Your payments are domestic only: a local bank suffices.. You want to minimise withdrawal and conversion fees.
