Payoneer Blocked My Account

If you’re reading this, there's a chance your Payoneer account has been blocked or frozen and you’re wondering why, how long it will last, and what to do next. As many freelancers are discovering, the consequences can be severe: funds locked, business disrupted, and support delays.

What users are saying!

Here’s what practical users are reporting on Reddit:

“The money that got locked in the account 99% you will never see it again … I had contacted the pioneer [sic] support and they have transferred my funds to my bank account although my Payoneer account is deactivated permanently.”

“Once you get permanently blocked, can you open another account? … no that id or passport is blocked forever.” Reddit

Some of their key issues:

• 1. Account flagged and frozen for “security check” but no clear timeline.
• 2. Large balances locked for weeks/months with little communication.
• 3. When permanently closed, opening a new account with the same ID/passport may not be possible.

From one comment:

“keep contacting the support everyday and in a month or so they will open the account for you to withdraw for last time and they will permanently block that account.” Reddit

These experiences show the risk: even legitimate users face major delays, or loss of access entirely. The site may not publish “why” in detail and timeframe is uncertain.

Why this happens: Common triggers

From user reports + general policy trends, reasons include:

• 1. High-risk or unusual transactions (eg: cross-border, large amounts).
• 2. Receiving payments from sources flagged for compliance.
• 3. KYC/identity issues: mismatched documents, unsupported identity or country.
• 4. Use of a “business” account for individual transactions, or vice versa, one Reddit user in Pakistan flagged this:

• “I had a business account made for my Pakistani retail operations. I mistakenly made individual payments instead of business-to-business transactions… Payoneer flagged my account … later I received an email informing me that my account has been closed.” Reddit

• 5. Sudden spikes in volume or mix of transaction types that don’t match profile.

How to handle it, If your Payoneer Account is Blocked

• 1. Promptly contact Payoneer support and ask for specific reason (compliance, identification, transaction type).
• 2. Gather and submit all requested documentation (ID/passport, business registration if applicable, proof of funds, invoices).
• 3. Provide clarity on your business model and transaction flow (eg: you’re a freelancer in Pakistan receiving US clients).
• 4. Be consistent with the type of account you’ve chosen (individual vs business) and transaction types.
• 5. If the process drags many weeks without resolution, escalate: use social media, community forums, or consider legal/regulatory complaint.
• 6. But — be prepared for the possibility you might not get full resolution: as users reported, “the money … 99% you will never see it again”.
