Unfortunately MB Bank recently switched to Visa only. Sorry! Next best I can find is Vattanac Bank ATMs with a $4 fee.
Thank you!
Sorry an other question if we make online payment, how much fee using this payoneer card?
I don't think they charge a fee if you're paying USD, but maybe check their website to confirm that.

I have a Payoneer account. But I do not have a Payoneer card. Though it looks as if I may be forced to order one soon...

I would prefer to link my Payoneer account directly to my U.S. dollars account in Cambodia. However, they are making it very difficult to "verify" my account because I don't have a utility bill. They even rejected my bank statement that shows an address. I don't have a street address, and several times over they have rejected legitimate documents showing my identity, etc...

I am losing patience with Payoneer's verification system. They really seem to reject legitimate documents for no reason, and there is no way one can go into a live-chat with them or explain that one does not have a numbered street address, which only exist in bigger cities and some towns.

Does anyone have any current knowledge about the fees for using the Payoneer card now in 2021 to make withdrawals at ATMs in Cambodia? And also, does anyone have experience of direct account deposits into a U.S. dollar account here in Cambodia from your Payoneer account? How much do they charge for direct deposit transfers into local accounts?

Personally, I think that they are refusing to link my Cambodian U.S. dollars bank account on purpose so that I am forced to order the Payoneer card: then, they can make more money from me by charging higher fees to use the card than direct deposit transfers into my local account.

(Note: had no difficulty linking a Canadian bank account with old data and no special paperwork last year!)
