Have you read my past article about freelancing with odesk? You can earn money online as a freelancer via odesk and that’s some serious money making. Getting paid from odesk is even more easier because there are 5 options to receive money from odesk. You can withdraw your earnings through MoneyBookers, can deposit the money to your bank account and of course the paypal option is available.
One of the greatest method for Bangladeshi’s and the countries that doesn’t supports paypal is the Payoneer prepaid debit Mastercard from odesk.
What is the Payoneer prepaid debit mastercard?
It’s just like any other credit cards, it’s physical card (not virtual), it operates like any other plastic card, it’s prepaid (debit card) and you don’t need any bank account to have it. It’s linked to your odesk profile and can withdraw your odesk earnings to the debit card.
How to apply for odesk Mastercard?
Go to the payment methods in odesk and click to sign up for: oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer. Submit your user details, fill up the form correctly and then you have to submit a security document. 2nd address is the address where payoneer will send you the mastercard. You can use the same as your billing address or can use your prefered shipping address. On the 3rd part of the form, you will be asked to enter your passport number/ drivers license/ number of the national ID card (voter ID card)
After submitting the application, payoneer will verify your details and will determine if you are eligible to receive the oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer.
Once your applicatin gets approved, they will send you the card through regular postal mail.
Frequently Asked Questions
There’s a lot of goofs about the odesk Payoneer debit mastercard here in Bangladesh.. I saw a lot of threads in forums about this topic, so here’s a FAQ sheet I have produced,
- Q: Can I apply for the oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer before earning/ getting a job from odesk?

are there any cost for the local atm booth such as DBBL. I mean, if I withdraw money from DBBL booth using my odesk mastercard, may I need to pay the DBBL any payment?
ATM withdrawal fee is $2.50+ ATM booth fees and it depends on the amount and the ATM machine from different banks.
yeah. I have withdraw from dbbl. I think the charge is high. But still I am happy with it.
What is the maximum amount I can withdraw at once?
I withdraw 15000 for the first time. But dont know about the limit.
ATM withdrawal limit must be $1000/ day.
I want to receive credit card from odesk but I donot earn from odesk & I want to verify my paypal account & withdraw money from this.That I want to only receive my debit card from odesk & want to use it from another earning.Is it possible?Please let me know it.
Read the FAQ #1 for this question.
You can’t verify PayPal with the odesk card because PayPal doesn’t supports BD but it’s possible where PP is supported like India.

I am a student of CSE & i am very interest about Odesk.I have a account on it at 12/02/09,i also have some skills to work on it (like web design) some of my friend have an account too but we can’t understand how to start on it. we try to find a ebook about how to earn on odesk but we can’t. Can you help us? We need detail about odesk. please help us, (we are on BD)
Leemon, having an account at odesk won’t make you earn money online. You have to fill up your profile with work details, skills, qualifications and work samples. You have to give a reason to the buyer to hire you. Apply on different jobs regularly and you will get an answer if you have that thing.
You should have read and comment on this post, instead of the getting money part: http://blogkori.com/start-your-freelancing-career-with-odesk-an-odesk-review-for-beginners/
Read and figure out yourself and don’t just jump for the money.
Thanks for this awesome article, I already order this card hope, i will receive it soo.
Sure you will, the postal service isn’t that bad after all and I got it within 20 days, awesome!
With this international MasterCard, you won’t have to worry about receiving money ever.. you can focus on your work :)
Yes, Thanks, I am new on odesk but i find 3 jobs and completed it within 3 days All are thesis. I really like to work with thesis. And your blog are now looking awesome. All the best :D
As we slowly move towards a cashless society (imagine a solar flare resetting everything to zero!) we are going to find that technology will give us access to funds in more and more innovative ways. I like the way this debit card can be used to sidestep more conventional bank cards and their accounts.
I do feel that, I sometimes feel crazy about digital money, it has no physical existence but works as real money.
I personally like the concept of having gold as real money, especially seeing how the dollar is devalueing at present. Bartering goods and services also makes much more sense, rather than exchanging pieces of paper for real goods. Maybe I’m just old fashioned?
Hello – Tamal u r doing a great job bro – Keep it up . I have earned USD 28 – I need to know that whether i will receive the money in Taka or Dollars here if i use my O desk Master Debit Card at DBBL Booth.
Happy to hear that, you will withdraw it in BDT, Bangladeshi Taka if you use local ATM’s
What is the maximum amount I can withdraw at once?
I withdraw 15000 for the first time. But dont know about the limit.
Thanks
You can withdraw at most $1000 per day.. that means around TK70,000 in Bangladesh. Some ATM’s such as Standard Chartered allows you to withdraw 20,000 each time, so that you have to withdraw multiple times from there.
Can ne1 tell me some real online money making websites?
Hi – i have withdraw my First Earnings 15 k from O desk – I am Loving it -
That’s great Aftab! Congratulations!
I want to get oDesk Debit MasterCard
Hi all. I have no money in the card but i activated the card.
If i dont load the card for 4 months Will the card blog or not?
PLZ REPLY
If you have no money in the card for 2 months, then the card will be deactivated.
I have not received the card yet. What happens if I do not get the card? It has been nearly 1 month and I am not yet getting the card.
Go to your nearest GPO and make an inquiry about your letter; I’m sure you will get it.
Well – I received my Card after 2 Months – So, you have to wait -
After getting the card so late, were you able to activate it, was there a problem or everything was okay?
Well I habe a few questions. To start with : 1. What should I ask the PO office? 2. I emailed Payoneer perior to applying for the card. They told me to contact them back if I do not get the card by 2nd Feb. anyone here who actually nevwr got their card?? did u re-apply or what?
As my other friend said, he got the card after 2 months and have to wait. If you go to the GPO, then ask for the mail which came from USA and going to your address.
Alright,
I will wait for a bit longer and then goto the GPO.
Thank You
