I have the same issue.
Relative in England intends to send around TT 3000 through Paypal.
I have a Royal Bank Visa Credit Card and a regular Republic Bank Savings Account.
To actually get the cash, will I need to withdraw from my Credit Card? This will mean greater fees for a cash withdrawal.
How do I get the cash?
Any info and advice appreciated

Technically you cannot get the cash with PayPal when using a T&T account.
You can withdraw the funds to your Royal Bank Visa Credit Card and it will pay towards your balance - from there you can continue using your credit card.
If you take the cash out from an ATM using the credit card that is considered a cash advance and the fees on that can be very high unless you pay off your card completely.

My advice is to let your relative send the funds to you via Payoneer.
You can add your Republic Bank Savings Account to Payoneer and while the fees to receive the TT$3000 may be around US$30, you will be able to get your cash from your account.

I don’t remember having to verify a business account.
I used it up to a few months ago.
What is the verification process?

^ choose individual instead of company.
Even if you choose company just put any business name and then upload your ID card, DP or passport as photo id.

Would wise.com work also? I recently got a contract with a company and they use hubstaff the only options available are paypal or bank transfer using wise. I read once I collect the funds onto my wise account it can be sent via swift.
https://wise.com/help/articles/2974947/ ... end-usd-to

Hopefully this can work?

well boy when ah see musk talk da stuff earlier ah get happy then ah see btc reach 41k and get tizic and decide to pipe out some one time as dese days ah tusty and wanted to try meh experiment sending 0.011 btc using each method.

BTC -> Payoneer -> FCB Bank Account - All the *reputable* folks that i found doing this type of exchange were on paxful and localbitcoins, unfortunately they both required to to much information i found for account signup, given revelations on crypto traceability ah decide this eh worth it and ah generally doh like PII in these type of transactions.
BTC -> RBL CC - exchanged with dobmem, got around 440usd
BTC -> WU - exchanged with payt1z, got a lil over 2500ttd

all those who holdin crypto and think it's secure an anonymous take care d fbi jus duck allyuh all an laugh an gwan like mavado like how dey do darkside ex amount ah million.
Jus like how NSA tools got out and were weaponized take care tools to take control of cryptowallets become available publicly and this whole crypto bubble jus buss, a man created it a man can break it.

Yes you can still receive payments via PayPal.
You can withdraw funds to your VISA credit card
YOu can use both VISA and MASTERCARD credit cards to pay using PayPal.

it's a personal account. i got it sorted out.

i re-added my card but Automatic Transfers needs to be enabled now (with funds transferred to your card on the first of every month). It was disabled previously so had I just enabled it the first time, it would have worked lol

so my recent experience with payoneer:

they been introducing fees galore, and was gonna charge me 30us this yr so i said to myself, i'll just transfer to my bank (fcb) and have the bank take that amount instead. anyway so that's what i was expecting. instead when i go do the transfer, i see that payoneer has converted the US to TT @ 6.62. i received the money to my account and there was no bank fee from FCB.

as i'm writing this, maybe it's because i dont have a US account with FCB. but i'll take the freeness lol

ps. payoneer isnt great for anyone receiving small transactions anymore. looking for alternatives that dont have those ridiculous fees

Reviving this topic to see if anyone has found any better options more recently...

I opened a RedBubble store some years ago, along with a Payoneer account and linked it, when it used to be free.
I've only made about US$10 in total sales and have been meaning to check my Payoneer account to see if it's working correctly, only to find that they've completely drained my little scrijums of a $10 as a "partial-payment" towards their new annual fee that they've applied to any accounts that don't earn at least US$2,000 annually.
I've heard Trini's are also having issues with PayPal.

If anyone has some new wisdom to share, I'd really appreciate it...

Yes that Payoneer annual fee took me by surprise too.
They charge that annual fee ON TOP OF their transaction fee.
PayPal still appears to be solid so far - what issues are you having with PayPal?

I haven't tried it. I've just seen some negative reviews from Trini vloggers, so have been apprehensive to try it.

Do you have personal experience using it? and if so, can you tell me please...
Does it allow you to withdraw to a local bank account? (not a credit card)
Does it allow you to send to a crypto wallet?

Fcb relaunch their pre paid Master card again.

Limit at $400usd. That's not bad at all
