Payoneer vs. Visa Acceptance Solutions (CyberSource)

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.

This is the market leader for this service and a mid-sized organisation is unlikely to find a provider that can provide the same value for money. Once it is all set up, the process runs in the background with little involvement from our organisation. It means no customer card details are ever collected or stored on-site, reducing our compliance headache. A very large organisation or one with a very complex website may find it inadequate.

• The best part of Payoneer is that there is no deduction of any commissions like we have in PayPal.
• I always get notifications regarding the remuneration which helps me in tracking my money.
• The payments gets automatically transfer to my bank account without any hassle.
• The conversion rate of the currency is higher than other payment tools like PayPal.

• Very reliable. Meets strict SLAs. Had quite a few problems in production.
• PCI compliant payment provider.
• Provides sandbox environments for engineers.

• 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

• Cybersource should think to go for restfull api call. I am not sure if it exists because with DW it is Soap call.
• Cybersource should have some alerting mechanism where if certain auth declined in few mins, people get a notification to look.

Payoneer helps me a lot on my online business journey, it gave me the support and functions that I want.

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.

Cybersource is a decent product but 2 things are driving us to look at others options. First is the lack of customer service. Every issue that requires help is dreaded as you know if will not be an easy process. This tags into the communication access with them. Multiple emails are generally required to get any response. There have been times when we requested information about PCI compliance that they never responded. Second is the cost savings with others processors. Currently we are leaning towards Elavon as their replacement.

• 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.

Incentivized

• E-commerce could not function without being able to take a credit card, they provide this ability
• Fraud protection can stop a loss of many thousands of dollars a month.
• Ease of connecting to PayPal
