Are you engaged in cross-border e-commerce or foreign trade business, but struggling to find a suitable payment method? Payoneer, as a world-renowned cross-border payment platform, has helped countless sellers and freelancers to easily receive payments. Compared with traditional banks, Payoneer offers lower fees, faster arrival times, and supports multiple currencies around the world, making cross-border payments more efficient. So, how do you register for Payoneer? What are the pitfalls to avoid when registering? This article will teach you how to successfully complete the Payoneer registration and avoid pitfalls!

I. Preliminary preparations for registering a Payoneer account

1. Proof of identity: ID card or passport (must be valid, with clear edges and no glare).

2. Proof of address: utility bill, bank statement or government letter within 3 months (the address must be exactly the same as the registration information).

3. Effective contact information: commonly used email addresses and mobile phone numbers (it is recommended to use Gmail/Outlook, avoid QQ mailbox).

2. Stable network environment: Using unclean IPs can easily trigger platform risk control, so it is recommended to use a clean, independent static residential IP. You can use IPFoxy to configure a clean residential proxy for the network, providing independent IP addresses around the world, making the registration environment stable, secure, and authentic.
