Users of both Payoneer and Wise frequently utilize these services for international money transfers. Customers have consistently found both platforms to be reliable for sending money overseas, though the ease of use seems to vary between the two. For some individuals, Payoneer appears more straightforward and intuitive to navigate, while others seem to prefer Wise due to its straightforward fees and explicit exchange rates.
Regarding freelance work, Payoneer has emerged as a favorite among users in this field. Many freelancers have cited it as their preferred method of receiving international payments from clients due to its relative ease of setup and use. Furthermore, businesses, especially e-commerce platforms, have expressed a preference for using Payoneer for its mature integrations with online marketplaces such as Amazon and Shopify. The users have highlighted that these integrations allow easier transactions and faster withdrawals. In contrast, Wise users have more often appreciated its multi-currency account feature, allowing them to hold and manage multiple currencies in one place, which is especially useful for those dealing with international clients or traveling frequently.

Payment Gateways
Comparison of Payment Gateways features of Product A and Product B
Payoneer is well suited for small to large-scale organizations for sending and receiving payments and establishing business internationally. Because their customer service crew is inexperienced, payment and account-related issues can arise and take a long time to fix. It's also appropriate for individuals or freelancers that need a payment provider that can collect payments from all over the world.
Transferwise it is great for transferring money across countries (never for transfers within the same country) and when the countries in question use different currencies. It is very quick, especially if the amount is not big. For larger amounts, it would take longer so it would be good only if you are not time-constraint.
For some international countries it take a lot to get the physical card. This may be related to the local post office too, but it's a hassle for new users
It would be good to have tutorials on how to do basic tasks in video or audio, for users that can't read for too long or have a disability
TransferWise (at the time of this review) does not allow one to transfer money to all kinds of business accounts. This can be a limitation for people who want to use it as a way to pay directly for goods and services.
Sometimes it has problems with some credit cards. But the most popular types are accepted without problems.
TransferWise accepts fewer currencies than other services. But it seems like this is a temporary problem, and the company is making efforts to support transferences to all of the currencies.
The support is really awful. They send you generic answers, and actually don't really understand what is going on. For example, when our re-verification was stuck, support agents told me that the account is active and you can send a payment. I did that, my card was charged, but the payment was declined, because the account was not active
Before Payoneer, I used Paxum, a Canadian product, that was or is similar but more expensive. Also used Payza(later Ecopayz), and European alternative, they have their ups and downs, they aren't even listed in the Search above, basically they are both payment gateways that allow using several payment methods, and any payment gateway, the problem is they don't have any bank accounts associated with them, therefore they are more limited in that regard. Both use a card as the main withdrawal method, and both support international currencies, but there as I mentioned there isn't any bank account associated with them, nor there is a way to connect them to Stripe.
Apple Pay has high fees and hidden charges, not easy to use and it does not really support enterprises. It is also not regulated by MAS so we don't feel safe using it. Transferwise account was easy to set up (within minutes), the admin fee is low and the pricing is very transparent (no hidden fee). Lastly, we needed a platform which is safe to use and we are happy to know that Transferwise is regulated by the MAS of Singapore.
Using Payoneer we have grown very well especially in 3rd world countries.
Due to its nominal transaction charges and better exchange rates, we get a decent ROI.
Since it is a very easy to use payment gateway and does not require many technicalities hence it is very well accepted which helps us in "ease of doing" business.
