Online businesses working with affiliates, vendors and freelancers
or requiring payment for clinical trial and travelers' expenses have a
need for
global payout processing. Companies commonly use direct deposit
payout, send checks or international wire transfers. For these types of
payments,
the recipient must have a bank account, wait several hours to
several days for transfer completion, or several weeks for an
international check to
clear. There are fees for each transfer and the payee must maintain
bank accounts with US affiliated banks, usually with regular and
substantial
fees. As online businesses are increasing relationships with
contractors, affiliates and freelancers in countries such as Brazil,
Russia,
India and China, payment processing is even more complicated as
locals may not readily have bank accounts with US affiliated banks, and
the
international wire transfers and check processing fees can reach
$20-$40 per instance.
Payoneer addresses mass payment processing through a global prepaid MasterCard®
card. Businesses pay international wages and commissions
through a simple online process. The funds will be available on the
prepaid card immediately with a minimal load fee. The recipient may
use
the prepaid MasterCard card everywhere Debit MasterCard is accepted
at Point-of-Sale or online, free of charge, and may withdraw funds in
local currency
at an ATM for a nominal charge.
Prepaid card as alternative payment
Prepaid cards are an alternative payment method to cash and are
accepted all over the world at Point-of-Sale, for online purchases and
at ATMs.
The international prepaid card functions like an electronic check,
as the funds can easily be transferred to the prepaid card
electronically, instantly. Prepaid MasterCard cards are used universally, and in some places are more commonplace than the check, exceeding cash transactions by volume.

less expensive alternative but easily understood and utilized.
