Good, assist me if you can please,

I have funds which are to be be transferred to me (in USD), and one of the methods of transfer is PayPal. How easy is it for cash to be transferred and cashed out locally? I bank with FCB and also have a VISA card (not prepaid) in their name.

Thanks in advance guys.

You can have the person transfer the funds to your PayPal account.
The funds will show immediately in your PayPal, however you will have to wait 30 days for the funds to become available.
Once the funds are available you can withdraw the funds to your FCB VISA credit card. This costs US$5 to withdraw up to US$500 per day. Or you can wait until the 1st of the next month and PayPal will automatically withdraw ALL your available balance to your FCB VISA card at NO charge.
It will show as a charge back to your credit card.
Last i checked you will need your bank routing number to add your T&T bank account to PayPal - not all T&T banks work, if any at all.

Payoneer.com lets you add a T&T bank account and withdraw your funds to it, it works just like PayPal.

Thanks so much for the info Duane.

Is a routing number a requirement to transfer the funds from my PayPal to the FCB card? Or is that just for PayPal to my bank account? And if it's the case for the former, that would mean that Payoneer will be the only option available, correct?

A routing number is not needed to withdraw from PayPal to your FCB Visa card.
A routing number is only needed if you wish to wish to withdraw from you PayPal directly to your bank account - this is if you wish to receive the cash.
Payoneer lets you withdraw to your T&T bank account.

But if I transfer funds to my CC, I can always withdraw to an ATM. But I guess having it transferred directly takes away the extra step.

Withdrawing cash from your credit card is also known as a cash advance.
It usually has a much higher rate of interest than using your credit card for a purchase.
Be sure to read up on how your bank treats a cash advance before withdrawing cash from your credit card.

Quick question. If you have a US account with a local bank, and you withdraw US funds from Payoneer to your local US bank account, any issues?

And with some banks, the interest kicks in instantly, unlike a purchase where you have some time beforehand.

It will work but the fees are high from the local receiving bank in T&T.

csb time:
Someone sent me US$65 via Payoneer. Payoneer charged US$1.95 to receive and then charged US$1.26 to withdraw, no problem there.
But then my local T&T bank charged US$29 to receive the US$61.79 into my local USD bank account. No conversion to ttd was needed or done.

so from $65 only $32.79 was collected.

I’m sure it would make sense to use this for larger sums, as the fees will then be negligible in comparison. But for micro-transactions like this, it doesn’t make sense.

Looks like Payoneer sending the funds to the local bank via wire transfer so if this is the case does not make sense for small amounts. Which bank?

If they are flat fees then great, if a percentage then there's more to consider.

Scotiabank
I believe it is a flat fee plus a percentage (maybe 3%)
What are standard fees for receiving USD funds into a local USD account via wire transfer?

Varies by bank but the following link (although from 2016) should give you an idea.
https://www.central-bank.org.tt/sites/d ... 9%202016_0.

Scotia Incoming wire transfer fees are $0-$35.00 $USD so the US$29 is most likely that.

Have no idea but RBL & FCB charge around US$15 for an incoming wire transfer.

Is there any advantage to opening a US Bank account from Trinidad or will Payoneer work just fine?
Also is there a way to withdraw the US dollars from paypal and obtain it in US rather than TT?
If I have a US account will this work?

Also If making a payoneer account, do I set the currency to TT or US? Is there any benefit to registering an FCB account rather than a RBC account?

Bumping this thread to ask a question.

Has anyone ever sent money to someone in the US using paypal?

I read up on it from paypal's website.

https://www.paypal.com/va/smarthelp/art ... ey-faq1684

However, I would like to know if anyone has ever done this. If so, can you share how its done and how the person in the US will access or use the funds as well as any other charges that may be incurred to transfer money from T&T to the US?

When sending money, is the value of the transfer charged to my registered credit card on my paypal account, in which case it is seen on the credit card statement as a "paypal" charge?

Just enter amount you want to send and the person receives it instantly to their PayPal. They can then transfer the funds to their bank account. A fee is charged so if you send $1000 they may get like $958.
The funds will be withdrawn from your credit card and show up as a PayPal transaction.

Process is really simple.
1.)Open a paypal account.
2.)Link a credit card to your paypal account. If it is a prepaid credit card make sure you have funds in the card.
3.)Have the person you're sending money on paypal to give you their paypal user name and ensure its the right person.
4.)Press the send feature and input the amount you would like to send. Generally the currency is in USD but you can change it in the settings. A small fee is charged by paypal.
5.)The person should receive the funds in less than a minute.
6.) Check Credit Card HIstory to See breakdown of charges.
That's it. PM me if you have any other questions. :lol:

That's not money laundering you uneducated PNM fool.
That's simply sending funds as a gift to someone in the USA using Pay Pal as a means of transmission.
Do you read your content before you post it?

If you have Mastercard you can't withdraw funds to the card. You need a Visa card for that.
