Receive money in Bangladesh with the Payoneer prepaid debit Mastercard from oDesk

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.

Receive money in Bangladesh with 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?
  • A: Yes you can apply even without earning from odesk, but I don’t think Payoneer will approve your application because the only benefit they are getting is the monthly charge from your account. If there’s no earnings, it’s worthless to have the mastercard.
  • Q: Can I apply and receive the oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer from Bangladesh?
  • A: Yes you can and there are more than 2000 providers working from BD at odesk.
  • Q: How long will it take to receive oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer in Bangladesh?
  • A: The odesk debit card will be sent to your address through regular mail (not any express mail service like FedEx or UPS) and it will take 20-25 days to arrive to your address in Bangladesh.
  • Q: What are the withdrawal & monthly charges of oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer?
  • A: Minimum withdrawal amount to your debit card from odesk is $20 and fee is $2 per withdrawal. $3 is the monthly charge from your debit card. Read more details here about payoneer mastercard charges and fees.
  • Q: Where can I find an ATM to withdraw money with oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer in Bangladesh?
  • A: You can use any ATM in Bangladesh to withdraw money with your debit card. The oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer supports most of the ATM’s near your area including Dutch Bangla Bank DBBL ATM booths. In Dhaka, there are lots of ATM’s available to withdraw money.
  • Q: Can I use oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer to purchase online/ pay for services on the internet?
  • A: Yes you can.
  • Q: Isn’t the fees and charges of oDesk Debit MasterCard powered by payoneer are higher?
  • A: If you earn that much amount each week, then it won’t bother you to pay the charges. At least you are receiving a great quality service for such low fees.

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.

Hi Tamal,
Thank you very much for your answer. Can you please make me sure about the maximum transaction. I mean if I do any wrong there is may be a possibility to have a false transaction. I mean,
are you sure that it is possible to withdraw about 70,000btd in a day with dbbl. Would you please let me know what is the max amount that you withdrew in a day.

Any way, I am now transacting with moneybookers. Its a cool one. :)

6 Tamal Anwar February 14, 2010 at 12:12 pm

There’s no way to have a false transaction, I think the maximum will be around 65,000 TK/ day after taking the booth fee.

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.

Can you help us? We need detail about odesk. please help us, (we are on BD)

12 Tamal Anwar November 17, 2009 at 1:25 pm

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.

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.

19 Tamal Anwar November 26, 2009 at 6:37 pm

I do feel that, I sometimes feel crazy about digital money, it has no physical existence but works as real money.

20 Net Age Web Design November 27, 2009 at 1:23 pm

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?

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.

ey bro…i have mine for over 2 years now but i only had one until recently im considering another payoneer card to be shipped for me and was kinda wondering, do i have to pay double the monthly fees for 2 cards? i mean $3 for one card = $6 for owning 2 cards? or its unlimited the cards u have u pay the same good old $3/month?

btw if anyone was wondering, payoneer is awesome. they win anytime over paybal hands down. i mean their service, very quick and helpful customer support and the cheap cards, man u cant beat em. payo blows paybal to dust. i was struggling with sneaky paybal but i found payo and never looked back! i know nobody asking for paybal…i was just trying to get u guys the comparison only if u wondered. i aint affiliated with payoneer btw. im just a happy user cared to share his 2 cents with the community.

46 Pretom chockraborty February 26, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Thanks for the information about this payment alternative for people in countries that don’t support Paypal. My site has visitors from many countries who want to make money online but often run into problems with payment because they are outside the U.S.

I’ll be happy to pass this information on to them.

Is this card available to freelancers in other countries or just Bangladesh?

thanks bro for your worm invitation.For your kind invitation i want tl let you know that that alternative payment network works specially for Bangladeshi freelancer to make their money cash in their hand.If they would offer internationally cash then how could they do bank wire transfer?because you know that Bangladesh doesn’t even support Bangladesh to abroad wire transfer.So i am glad to recommend for the best of the best method for PayPal and GAF and odesk Payment conversion in Bangladesh.And it’s my pleasure to recommand that website specially for Bangladeshi.But soon they will start up their follow up services like currencies exchange services worldwide.
