Well, Payoneer’s email says they’ll close 2 accounts for receiving transfers. That’s a USD and a GBP account. They were automatically created when I signed up for Payoneer through itch’s link, in fact I didn’t understand why a GBP account was made, as I never asked for it nor got the option to select which currencies I wanted. So I just assumed they were necessary for itch, or at least that USD account.

I have received USD twice from itch before, but it was never enough to cover the account maintenance fee of ~30USD/year, so I assumed it counted as “unused”. Only this year I accumulated significant money that would be enough to cover it and to receive as local currency (they have a ~150USD minimum to exchange and withdraw, I believe).

This is all quite confusing, but I guess it does make sense if it’s a Payoneer-to-Payoneer transfer and so it’s different.

Can you confirm you’ve been able to both receive it (more than the yearly fee) and withdraw to your local currency (if it’s not USD) even after no longer having those accounts? Has that happened successfully several times? If so, that’s a huge relief! Though I might still wanna look for this info or contact Payoneer to confirm it.

Also, do you still get charged that yearly fee (if you receive less than the minimum) even without those accounts?

Thank you a lot!
