Hello, guys I just want to share my experience so you don't get "burned" the way I did.

I do e-commerce and almost all of the banks I'm using are online banks for tax reasons.

And I can say that every online bank is complete trash. They can hold your money for no reason and completely shut down your account for no reason.

Last year Wise held almost 50k$ in my account for "standard review" for almost 2 months.

That's enough to ruin your whole business.

This year Payoneer randomly decided to ban me without any notice or anything. Also had quite a bit of money in there and it's a pain in the ass to get it out.

Once you make an account with Payoneer you agree to their terms of service which allow them to close your account whenever they want.

So if you can avoid these shit banks at all costs.

If someone knows any more reliable ones please share.
 
Never had problems with any of them and have done more than 50k in single transactions. You must have triggered some internal policy or doing something they don't like.

You are definitely lucky

Stripe is payment processor which pays to bank accounts like payoneer, mercury, wise, revolut etc.. You cant store money on Stripe

I've been using Payoneer for years and didn't have any issues with them except their shitty exchange rate.
However, Wise refused to verify my account after I made the mandatory $20 deposit and instead banned me for no reason, they refunded my 20 bucks though.
 
My friend had the same issue with Payoneer, finally they turned to FBI and made an online report to them about Payoneer and that they holding their money for no reason. Suddenly it was all smooooth and they got the money.
