If you want to start earning money online through freelancing, blogging, or micro-tasking websites like Toloka AI, you need a secure way to receive your payments in dollars and withdraw them locally. Payoneer is one of the most popular and trusted payment gateways used by thousands of freelancers in Pakistan.
In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through how to create and fully verify a Payoneer account in Pakistan so you can start receiving international payments easily.
Why Choose Payoneer in Pakistan?
Since PayPal is not officially available in Pakistan, Payoneer serves as the perfect alternative. It allows you to:
- Receive payments from freelancing platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and Toloka AI.
- Link it directly to your local Pakistani bank account or JazzCash for instant withdrawals.
- Get receiving accounts in USD, EUR, and GBP.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Payoneer Account
1. Visit the Official Website
Go to the official Payoneer website and click on the “Register” or “Sign Up” button.
2. Choose Your Account Type
You will be asked to choose the profile that best describes you. Select “Freelancer or Digital Marketer” or “Individual.” Then, choose the option that says “Get paid by international clients or freelance marketplaces.”
3. Enter Your Personal Details
Fill in the registration form with your real, official information. Ensure that:
- Your first and last name match your CNIC (National Identity Card) or Passport exactly.
- Your date of birth is completely accurate.
- You use a professional, active email address.
4. Contact and Security Details
Input your current residential address and mobile number. You will receive a verification code via SMS to verify your mobile number. Next, set up a strong password and choose security questions that you can easily remember.
5. Add Your Local Bank Account
To complete the registration, Payoneer will ask you to link a local Pakistani bank account. You will need to provide:
- Your Bank Name (e.g., HBL, Meezan Bank, Alfalah, etc.)
- Account Holder Name
- IBAN (International Bank Account Number), which starts with “PK”.
Once everything is filled out, submit your application.
How to Fully Verify Your Payoneer Account
After submitting your application, your account will be under review. To ensure your account is fully verified and does not get blocked, log into your Payoneer dashboard and go to Settings > Verification Center. You will need to upload:
- Government-Issued ID: A clear photo of the front and back of your Smart CNIC (in English) or Passport.
- Proof of Residence: A utility bill (Electricity, Gas) or a bank statement from the last 3 months showing your exact name and address.
Connecting Payoneer to JazzCash
Once your account is approved, you can easily open your JazzCash app, go to the “Raast & Payments” or “Freelancer” section, select Payoneer, and log in to link the two accounts. This allows you to withdraw your hard-earned dollars into Pakistani Rupees instantly!
