Hi Dan,

Congrats!

Hoping that this will bring some good changes :)

Will this be finally solving the discrepancies such as not all accounts being able to send to one another?
- mainstream accounts VS adult accounts
- card accounts VS bank-transfer accounts (as in you can't get paid from all companies if you have a bank-transfer Payoneer)

It's a real problem currently that you may need to open a lot of Payoneer accounts to be able to get paid from different sources. It's very confusing for both the users, and the companies sending the payouts.

Some other suggestions:

It'd also help if you had a standard fees system that's stated on the website, instead of a per-account/per-payment-source fee system.

It would also be great if you could create a company account from any country. Right now some companies can only sign up when going through a payout program's link.

Hi, thank you so much! One of the aims is to minimize confusions and provide better services, and simple fee structures. I Hope we'll be in touch soon.

Sounds great, looking forward to it :)

Danep scares me - Not sure why...

congrats :thumbsup

Hi, I'm trying to follow your statement, what can I help with?
Thanks!

hello, so if there will be no payoneer, will be the payoneer cards working? i have just received mine two weeks ago :)

you sleepy dan? why are you forming another service? you took out the features in payoneer.(bank withdraw) why didn't you just put them back? i asked this years ago never an answer.

login they shoot you an email. i didn't get the fuking email till i logged in. kind of like nats

I was wondering why my new card has the logo of Choice bank instead this one of Payoneer. Maybe that explains everything. But if we need new cards again, I just get back to Paxum.

You seem a bit AI - Not a problem - But please don't take over my computer:helpme...

Do we need new debitcards also, or are that already the new cards we got last month?

Bankers only want your money, like epassporte..

worddd :pimp

Payoneer is not closing, but it looks like they are getting rid of adult (and cam sites/girls) and sold that part of to Choice's payment service https://www.firstchoicepay.com/
They say it's a partnership, but nothing on firstchoicepay.com suggests that's it is some kind of partnership with any company, the website, domain, etc. are fully owned by Choice Bank.

I guess after Payoneer got the big seed investment last year they needed to get rid of adult and made some deal with Choice to take over that part.

Choice is also the issuer of the Payoneer (and Paxum) debit cards and have been around for a very long time so it's nothing to worry about.


Here is an article from November 2016 on a Romanian site that says "Payoneer that no longer wants to work with adult reason that made her different company specifically for the live web camming." Payoneer devine FirstChoicePay. Metode de plata folosite de siteurile de videochat - PISPIS.RO NEWS
it looks like they already informed the adult and cam sites etc. about the change a few months ago.

From Payoneer: "We have notified all of the platforms you work with who will transition to Firstchoice Pay regarding this change, and together, we have worked hard to ensure a smooth transition."

thank you sir :pimp

Dan, your answers are rather vague and do not address the questions being asked here. Thus, please answer the following questions.

1. Will existing Payoneer Cards from CHOICE bank still be valid after Feb 1, 2017?
2. If NO to #1, when will the existing cards stop working?
3. If NO to #1, when will new cards be sent out?
4. If NO to #1, will existing card owners be required to reapply via each affiliate program?
5. If NO to #1, will existing card owners have to provide new documentation?
6. If YES to #1, will further functionality be added, such as the ability to transfer to existing credit card, to bank accounts, etc?
7. WHO will be leading the transition, Payoneer, FirstChoicePay, or each affiliate program?
8. Will the existing Payoneer site continue to be the login site, or will there be a new site?
9. What happens to the documentation already stored with Payoneer? Will it be transferred to FirstChoicePay, or destroyed?

If you could answer these questions, it would be appreciated.

It went out to customers with balance of $5 and up.

I never got an email

so i need another payoneer account for mainstream and adult goes to firstchoicepay?

"You will now have an online account for both Payoneer and Firstchoice Pay, as well as a dedicated prepaid MasterCard® for each."

So new card for first choice pay I guess, that sucks big time as I just got my new card!

So we don't have to replace our cards. But First Choice isn't my Choice. I'm transferring future payments back to Paxum - my last choice! :1orglaugh

reading through all the jibber threads :1orglaugh:1orglaugh :Oh crap the current card will not be adult. firstchoice will be adult with transfers to bank and peer to peer transactions. i hope it has those epass rates :)

So glad this is happening after Internext.

A new vertical platform for adult & well put :thumbsup

no, $2 and up, I received one too :1orglaugh

fuck it, I am buy some more bitcoin.

Bump for answers.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

The first 5 posts in this thread totally scripted. Possibly the same person.

There are many questions.. Please Dan reply to robwod questions to help us to know what will happen.

I think Payoneer should answer those questions .

I think thats not permanent solution from Payoneer.
they should create something like this:
if your surname ends with K-Z you have to use prepaid card issued for such surnames.
if your surname ends with A-J you have to use prepaid issued for such surnames.

If your surname starts with A-J, but ends with K-Z you should use new prepaid card for such cases.

the same with surnames starting K-Z and ending with A-J.

did I forget about something ? doesnt matter ! thank me later for that tip, its gratis :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

stick to paxum

So many customers will be lost. I'm already switching everything over to check. If my card stops working, I'm done.

There's nothing exciting about it.

In fact, after the warm reception, Danep just disappeared :1orglaugh

You are attracted to greasy looking bad boys, that's why?

If it's smooth sailing where I have to do nothing on my end like adjust all my payment info with all 200+ affiliate programs I use payoneer with, good. If opposite of what I just said, well :321GFY

Will Choice Bank turn off all Paxum cards for give free way to new Firstchoice platform? :)

"Exciting"... lol, sure :disgust

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The greasy looking bad boy who actually uses his own name, and real picture, is right here. What is your question please?
