The FCA authorisation demonstrates Payoneer’s commitment to the UK market as it seeks to continue providing regulated financial solutions. The license enables Payoneer to carry on empowering UK businesses to grow globally in the digital global economy. Payoneer will also look to grow its footprint in the UK, seeking to help more businesses navigate the world of global digital commerce.

Our customers in the UK now have confidence in Payoneer’s consistent ability to provide regulated financial services of the highest standard.”
