If you’ve received a notification about inactive Payoneer receiving accounts, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you keep them active—before the August 30, 2025, deadline.
🧾 What Is a Payoneer Receiving Account?
A Payoneer Receiving Account is a virtual bank account in various currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.) that allows you to receive payments from international clients and marketplaces like a local bank account.
🛠️ Step 1: Identify Inactive Payoneer Receiving Accounts
To check which of your currency accounts are inactive:
- Log in to your Payoneer account → Payoneer Login
- Navigate to “Get Paid” > “Receiving Accounts.”
- View the list of all available currency accounts (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.).
- Match the last 4 digits mentioned in the email from your Payoneer to your account list to find which ones are inactive.
📌 Inactivity means no payment received in the past 2 years.
💰 Step 2: Reactivate by Receiving a Small Payment
You can reactivate any inactive receiving account by receiving even a small payment ($1–$5). Two simple options:
Option A: Transfer from a Freelance Marketplace
If you work on platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, or others:
- Withdraw a small amount into your Payoneer account.
Option B: Request Payment from a Friend or Client
- Ask someone with a Payoneer account or international transfer ability to send a small payment to your account.
📨 Step 3: Share Your Payoneer Account Details
To receive a payment, you’ll need to share your account details:
- Go to Receiving Accounts in your Payoneer dashboard.
- Select the correct currency (e.g., USD, EUR).
- Copy and share relevant info:
- Bank Name
- Account Number
- Routing Number (if applicable)
- Account Type
🎯 Accurate details ensure smooth transaction processing.
💡 Important Notes
- Small transfers ($1–$5) are enough to activate the account.
- Once activated, the account will no longer be listed as inactive.
- Payoneer will not close accounts that receive payments before the deadline.
📅 Final Deadline: August 30, 2025
Ensure that you receive a payment into the inactive receiving account by August 30, 2025, to avoid permanent closure.
