Comments on: Payoneer – Great for UGC sites, Not Sure About The Rest of Us http://pravdam.com/2007/04/18/payoneer-great-for-ugc-sites-not-sure-about-the-rest-of-us/ Pravda on Media, Technology, and Rebel Filmmaking Sun, 06 Nov 2011 16:07:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: john lidstone http://pravdam.com/2007/04/18/payoneer-great-for-ugc-sites-not-sure-about-the-rest-of-us/comment-page-1/#comment-1437 john lidstone Fri, 18 Apr 2008 01:30:44 +0000 http://pravdam.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/payoneer-great-for-ugc-sites-not-sure-about-the-rest-of-us/#comment-1437 I've `stumbled upon `Payoneer' as I'm an affiliate of SFI Marketing (www.moreinfo247.com/8821255/free) and was formerly paid commission cheques from SFI, via `snail mail' across the Atlantic. SFI then started promoting Payoneer. I completed the Payoneer sign up procedure (straightforward) today on receiving my new card. I cannot obtain a debit card from my bank here in the UK so, right now, I reckon I'm obtaining a double benifit. I'm also considering using it for SFI `Veriuni' retail sales payments, as well as from my architectural services/design & build customers. I go to Morocco a couple of times a year and will test my new Payoneer card against the former hassle of exchanging £/Dhiram.

I am certain that Payoneer will succeed in their business. However, my main focus are the media guys, and I am looking for companies that can help them monetize their content. Payoneer today offers a lot of value to the UGC sites, but others will not benefit from it, unless a rights settlement mechanism is added. Barlow, thanks for your lengthy and detailed comment.

The market for an online debit card is tremendous with $1 trillion for the total credit card market. There are few competitors of strictly on line cards. This means for example that those who ordinarily could not obtain a debit card from a local bank or from a credit card company, could simply go on line to Payonner and, for $10 or so, instantly receive a "credit card" with the MasterCard logo. The card can be used for paying for goods or receiving cash from an ATM. Payonner's fees for loading the card and using the card - like at an ATM - should be lower than a regular debit card. It seems that the key differentiator is that you can get the "debit card" on line with little of the hassle involved in obtaining one from your local bank. For example, if you were a micro lender in India in a small village, if you could go online you would be able to instantly obtain a MasterCard card.
