Standard Fee:

USD 3 flat fees for each transfer from AT Credits to your Payoneer account.

Example:

The teacher withdraws an amount of USD 100 in AT credit to a Payoneer account.

Payoneer charges a flat fee of 3 USD for each transfer, and the teacher will receive 97 USD once the Payoneer fee is applied.

Additional Fee:

There are three different situations when it comes to charges once the payment is received in your Payoneer account:

• USD Transfer (ACH) to the United States
• Local Bank Transfers
• SWIFT (Wire) Bank Transfer

To transfer USD to the United States (ACH):

• 5 USD flat fee
• No exchange fee
• Getting currency in USD
• Example: A teacher withdraws AT credit in USD to a bank account in the United States.
• Withdrawal amount: USD 100 in AT credit
• Payer Fee: 50 USD
• Teacher receives: 50 USD

Local Bank Transfers:

A recipient wishes to receive a bank transfer in his local currency to his/her local bank account. The transfer fee is 3 USD. A currency exchange fee of approximately 2% of the amount (depending on the currency).

Example: A teacher with a Japanese bank account wants to receive money in JPY.

• Withdrawal amount: USD 100 in AT credit
• Payer Fee: 3 USD
• Payoneer currency exchange fee: 2%
• Teacher receives: [100 - (100-3)*2%] - 3 = 95.06 USD

SWIFT (Wire) Bank Transfer:

If a recipient wishes to receive a bank transfer in USD currency to their local bank account, the transfer fee is USD 15. Additional intermediary bank fees or loading charges may apply.

• Example 1: Teachers with bank accounts in Taiwan must request payment in USD because local currency transfer via Payoneer is unavailable in Taiwan.
• Example 2: Teachers in Japan cannot receive payment in US dollars but only JPY because there is a local currency route.

Withdraw amount: USD 100 in AT Credits

Payoneer fee: $15

Payoneer currency exchange fee: none

The teacher receives $85 and intermediary fees or loading fees applied by other banks.
