# Payoneer alternatives for Dutch companies

Why Dutch BVs look beyond Payoneer: annual, conversion and withdrawal fees, accounts in the company's name, and what to compare in a business account.

## Key takeaways

- Payoneer charges $29.95 a year if the account receives under $6,000 in 12 months, 0.50% between balances and 1.2% to 4% on withdrawals that convert.
- A Dutch BV paid in dollars that withdraws to euros pays those fees on every receipt.
- A business account with USD and EUR details in the BV's name lets clients pay locally and the BV convert at a published margin.
- Check the provider's status in the DNB register or its partners'.

Dutch searches for Payoneer include "payoneer netherlands", "payoneer nederland" and "what is payoneer". Many come from BVs that started on Payoneer for platform income and now invoice clients directly.
