How to Change Payoneer Account Name Correctly

The following is how to change the Payoneer account name correctly according to the guidelines from the Payoneer customer service team. The name is a typo, the name does not match the ID card, the middle name is not entered, and there are many other reasons why we have to change the name on the Payoneer account. But is the way we do it right according to the procedure?

There is a name error/typo in the Payoneer account, how do I change it? In short, we need to submit an official name change to Payoneer accompanied by official evidence such as an ID card / Passport. We can't change the name directly on the Payoneer account like editing profiles on social media.

In contrast to social media, Payoneer is a media/website that provides services around finance. Because money is a very sensitive thing, Payoneer also treats us (as a user) like a customer in a bank.

All changes to personal data must go through a formal process such as submission, review, and until finally it is officially approved and changed by Payoneer.

How long does the name change process take at Payoneer?

The exact time can vary, but for normal applications or services, they usually ask for 1-3 working days (Saturday-Sunday and American public holidays are not included). But sometimes it can take longer, just to be safe, give it 7 working days, and then if there is no response or no answer, please send another email.

If possible, I suggest you also contact Payoneer CS via live chat, because they usually serve faster via live chat. But the drawback is that you have to use English because Payoneer's customer service is worldwide so we have to use an international language (English).
