Payoneer Pakistan Ban is Lifted - Payoneer Cards Will Work in Pakistan

June 7th, 2010 at 4:13 pm

@Nabeel

Passports are in English :)
About National ID card, one of my friends submitted his national ID card last month to Payoneer and to my surprise they accepted it. So Nation ID card in Urdu also works.

@Tomer

Thank you for stopping by and updating us.
I can feel the sincere effort Payoneer team is making to resolve this issue and this sincerity is one of the reasons that Pakistani freelancers are so desperate to work with Payoneer.

I hope this could be over soon.

Thank you.

@Alina Zaviyal

I just corrected my comment and I was not trying to be rude.
I meant to say that airing my thoughts through this blog can help me gather contact of many enthusiasts who sincerely want an end to this suffering. Basically I’m doing networking through this blog.

I had provided few people with Gil Abir’s contact details (VP of Payoneer) and I plan to write to him after actually understanding how they had banned us and is it complete or partial ban.

Hope it clarifies. If my words hurt you, I’m indeed really very sorry.

Thank you.

@Alina Zaviyal I’m waiting for Payoneer’s support reply. I will personally write Gil Abir but I think many people are using can use my advice, so its worth spending my time.

@Alina Zaviyal PayPal accounts have limits for certain countries, they provide different levels of membership based on your country. Payoneer can also follow this model. They can put limits on ATM withdrawals, add verification methods etc.

Payoneer is a company that actually listen to its users feedback. You can also use Payoneer’s community forums to air your voice.

Payoneer Pakistan Users Can No Longer Use Payoneer - Change in Regulations

@Alina Zaviyal

We can use 2 tactics.

1. Start writing to Payoneer, specially to their senior management requesting to stop this ban somehow or at-least as a last resort provide us with limited access.

Initially try tweeting here, http://twitter.com/payoneer
Contact Gil Abir, Voice President of Payoneer.
I used to have contact with him initially when Payoneer was ruled out and our company become their partner. If someone need I can provide them Gil Aber’s email ID.

2. Use any methods available (including Press, Media and blogs) to air your voice so this law makers might listen to you.
Why don’t Pakistani freelancers go to supreme court, request Chief Justice to instruct Pakistani senate and State Bank to improve their regulations.

And yes, I got this email from Payoneer support, I’m a long term user.

Why Payoneer Blocked Pakistan - The Truth

May 4th, 2010 at 7:24 am

@Naveed Khan

I agree with you, this situation is gloomy :( and shameful and off-course everyone else (specially our neighbors) would have a smile at their faces after knowing this.

But we should not blame Payoneer for this. If we can protest, we should protest against our law makers. If they fix the situation (by approving new anti-money laundering law), Payoneer will be very happy to do business with Pakistanis.

Hello Najam :)

Pakistan is the 20th destination for outsourcing and we don’t have PayPal or any reasonable payment processor. However there are PayPal alternatives like 2CO and Payoneer, I will do a post about these soon. Best of luck with your freelance work.

About getting a server, yes I’m expending my online presence and one of my site has grown so much that I’d to move it to a more powerful dedicated server. Growth is always good :)
