Can anyone pay into a Payoneer receiving account?

No. Payoneer says its receiving accounts accept payments for business transactions from business accounts. Payments from personal bank accounts and from a bank account in your own name are declined, except when you're adding funds from your own bank.

The wider picture

The key points from the guide this answer comes from:

  1. Payoneer is built for getting paid, with receiving details in 13 currencies in 190+ countries. Wise is built for holding, converting and sending, with no monthly fee.
  2. For a wire in a currency other than your own, Wise usually costs less: Payoneer charges 1%, about 100 USD on 10,000 USD, against Wise's 6.11 USD.
  3. Payoneer's receiving accounts accept only business payments from business accounts.
  4. Payoneer is often the alternative where Wise doesn't give USD account details, such as Bangladesh, Nigeria, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Check its list for your country.
