Please to withdraw my money into my Nigeria account I decided to add a bank account for withdrawal. I was asked to select my bank account currency. There I have NGN USD EUR. Knowing that I am using a Nigerian account, which one should I go for?
Payoneer should please ask what is obtainable as National ID (NIN) before disapproving someone’s verification. You can’t just keep my payments pending after sending my National ID. You’re saying it’s not it, are you in Nigeria, ? Even if you’re not here, ask questions. Do proper findings. You can’t just hold someone’s money like that. You need to ask what is used here.
