Marvin Espina

I’m Marvin Espina from the Philippines.

I currently run two online stores, with my main customers from the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia. I established my store after having success on the platform Teespring. The idea was to sell more than just apparel to my current customers, like watches and sunglasses. I’m positive that I’m on the right track with my vision for the store.

I tried every payment option my supplier suggested, including bank transfer and money remittance. It was a hassle for my business because I would have to physically line up to pay, I had no payment security, and it was not eCommerce-friendly. I was a virtual assistant to a top seller on a different print-on-demand company, so that’s where I heard about Payoneer.

I use my virtual US bank account to link to my Stripe account. If it wasn’t for that, I would have to go to the US or hire an agent to open a US bank account, which takes more time and hassle, while signing up for Payoneer is free and virtual.

The conversion rate of USD to their local business is higher when they receive my payment, so it’s a win-win for both of us. Payoneer has helped my business, not only with Global Payment Services and a US virtual account, but also with the Payoneer prepaid MasterCard, which I use to pay my Facebook ads.

It’s so easy to pay my suppliers, there’s no hassle, and receiving funds from the US is easier. Now I can focus on scaling my business.
