@romlam my opinion you can use paypal if support in your country or swift.
our bad luck 
Payoneer and swift withdraw work for us only Paypal doesn’t available in our country.
I’m not sure about that issue will not happen again or not but they said the FCA has completed their audits. Actually every financial company have audit issue but how much, where & how they effect we don’t know enough.
I think they proved that they are quite trustable and acted swiftly.
I don’t expect more from a company in such a situation. They have done their job on their end.

I agree with you. I applied for a stop payment. I want to wait and be sure for 1 month.
Wirecard is company “X” which is “holding” the cards… payoneer is one of the many companies using their cards - Wirecard “problems” affected all companies which were using their cards.
This was Wirecard fault - not payoneer.
We can discuss about payoneer security … they was addicted to wirecard (special agreement)…
but in the end of the road this was not their fault.
Trust… this is very liquid word if we are talking about digital money - and I mean e-wallets and banks also (remember 2008?).
Advices? -> keep your eye on Revolut and Transferwise… I don’t want to make advertisements here, just get familiar with them if you are already not 
if you want I can make special post or topic about keeping money - where to keep it under your name, where you can keep it anonymously… transfers, connections … little complicated but after you make some contructions you can feel pretty safe.
Remember - always keep your money in different places… not in one place - never… President and Prime minister are never fly in same plane… diversity my friends
peace.
UP. -> payoneer card is working now.

Good new guys. Payoneer has removed the freeze:

Ha! Well, they weren’t fast enough to keep this fool from making a wrong decision.
Self critique: I waited until the very last minute to see if they lifted the freeze and, as the card remained blocked on my end until this morning, I sent my monthly earnings to PayPal. By lunchtime the freeze was lifted. Too little too late. Wish I had trusted their announcements.
I really hope it’s easy to transfer funds from PayPal to my local bank account.
Aside from that, I’m grateful Envato has such an active and engaging community. All the info shared above definitely made things easier.
Good luck in July everybody!

Hey guys, as I understood our wire cards are safe to use for the future as well.
“Good news! We have successfully reactivated all services you previously had on your Payoneer Prepaid Mastercard® card to give you full access to all the value we offer. Your funds will once again be received directly to your card, from where you’ll be able to withdraw to your local bank account, make payments and use the card at ATMs and for purchases.”
Does this mean we won’t get new cards and continue to use old Wirecard cards. How safe is that?
Cheers
For now we can use our cards as we used them previously - 100% functional.
Anyway I think it’s obvious we can expect new cards provider in near future… situation with wirecard is ok for now but every reasonable businessman like payoneer CEO will consider alternatives to avoid disasters in the future.
this is logic - no inside info needed
Unfortunetly I switched to paypal right before ending of the month assuming Wirecard cards would be worthless to receieve money on them.
Уже все работает, выводил деньги 2 июля и сегодня
Everything already works, I withdraw money on July 2 and today

Thank you for your update.
Hey @jamesgiroux a lot of us have switched to another payment service right before ending of the month assuming Payoneer will need some time to fix all the issues. However, they did a great job of returning everything back to normal and cards are now safe to use and safe to receive payments to them.
Is there any kind of way we could switch back to Payoneer right before this month’s payments?
Cheers!

For me it doesn’t work. I can’t use card on the ATM or for payments. I have the message on Payoneer account that it works since since July 1, but I tried few times since, and it is not working. I am trying to contact their support to see what the problem might be.
