Payoneer Debit Card
Payoneer provides a pre-paid debit card which will be mailed to you at home prior to the start of the program. Through the use of Payoneer, participants will have the ability to withdraw funds from ATMs in Israel and around the world as well as charge items to the card wherever Mastercard is accepted. Parents can load money to the card through Payoneer's website, and can monitor/replenish the account online as necessary. Additional advantages of Payoneer are:
- No need to travel with large amounts of cash and minimal interference with the program logistics – no need to go to a bank to exchange cash and/or travelers checks.
- Trip staff carry spare cards which can be easily activated with the current balance of funds if the original card is lost
- An umbrella organization that ensures the money –MasterCard® means that there is no personal liability for unauthorized purchases. Should unauthorized purchases be made, a call to Payoneer’s customer support initiates the chargeback process from MasterCard®.
- Simple fee structure (detailed on Payoneer website)
