one, Payoneer registration preparation

1. Personal account :

(1) Proof of identity: Valid ID card or passport (color scan with clear edges).

(2) Contact information: an email address that has not been registered with Payoneer ( Gmail/Outlook is recommended ) and a real-name mobile phone number.

(3) Bank account: Domestic UnionPay debit card in your name (for RMB withdrawal).

2. Corporate Account :

(1) Enterprise qualifications: Business license (valid color scan, all four sides must be shown).

(4) Supplementary materials: Proof of company operation (such as e-commerce store link, service contract, etc.).

3. Anti-correlation tools:

Cross-border e-commerce merchants or individuals usually register multiple Payoneer accounts to manage different stores, platforms or business lines to improve financial flexibility and reduce risks. However, Payoneer and major e-commerce platforms have strict anti-multiple account association policies. Once it is detected that the same user or company controls multiple accounts, it may lead to account restrictions, fund freezing, or even permanent account suspension. You can use the following anti-association tools:

① Fingerprint browser: Create multiple isolated browser environments on a computer to simulate fingerprints of different devices.

② Cloud phone / cloud device: Provides a cloud virtual mobile phone environment to achieve isolation at the physical device level.

③　IP anti-association tools: such as IPFoxy static residential proxy IP ; assign a unique, fixed residential IP address to each account, so that the login environment of each account is displayed as a real user from different home broadband, minimizing the risk of account blocking due to IP association.
