Getting Amazon Payments Using Payoneer As US Bank Account
Amazon is definately one of the great places to start an online business. It offers different great opportunities such as Merch By Amazon, Amazon Associates, Amazon FBA and Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).
Anyone in any part of the world able to start any one of their programs and make a business out of it.
However, Amazon supports bank account from limited countries only for the direct deposit of the earnings made.
This means people who are having bank account outside of those countries would not be able to receive their Amazon payments.
It can be quite meaningless to have a business that cannot withdraw out the money.
If you are looking to start a business using Amazon but is having a bank account from a country not supported by Amazon, fear not because I have good news for you today.
There is a solution for this problem.
It is by registering a Payoneer account and use it as a virtual US bank account to receive your Amazon payments.
With the money inside your Payoneer account, you can then proceed to withdraw them into your own local bank account.
Or you can spend the money directly using the Payoneer Mastercard which you can apply from your Payoneer account.
How To Use Payoneer As US Bank Account For Amazon Payments
First, you have to sign-up a Payoneer account first. Just go to Payoneer homepage and get all the registration steps done.
After you have your account ready, login into your dashboard. You now need to choose “Global Payment Service”.
