Powering Global Payments for the Freelance & Digital Economy

📌 Overview: What is Payoneer?

Payoneer Global Inc. is a New York-based financial technology (fintech) company that provides cross-border payment solutions for businesses, freelancers, online sellers, and service providers around the globe. It was founded in 2005 by Yuval Tal and has since grown into a multi-billion dollar company operating in over 200 countries and territories.

Its mission is simple but powerful: make it as easy to send and receive money across borders as it is within them. That means dismantling the traditional financial barriers that make global commerce expensive, slow, and bureaucratic.
