Payoneer Blocks Payments to India

admin — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 20:29:33 +0000

Payoneer India PrePaid MasterCard Outage

Payoneer sent out a notification to all of its Indian card holders via email which says that it would be blocking access to local purchases and ATM Withdraws carried out by all of the Payoneer PrePaid MasterCards in India due to instructions from local bank authorities as of 7 Jan 2010.

Payoneer provides freelancers and individuals to receive payments from all over the world in their accounts which can then be used online for shopping or local purchases at merchants. One can also withdraw the earnings via ATM.

Payoneer Email to Indian Users

Due to instructions from the Indian local banking authorities, Payoneer Prepaid MasterCard cards will be blocked for local purchases (POS Purchase) made in India within the next few hours, and ATM transactions will probably be blocked soon after.

Your Payoneer card continues to be functional anywhere other than India (including transactions made online on global websites), and all funds in your account are secure.

Other payment companies have experienced similar restrictions in the past, and most have been temporary and have taken a few weeks to resolve the situation. Payoneer and MasterCard are working with local banking regulators to address the situation. Payoneer is also preparing alternative ways for you to continue to receive payouts, and expects you will be able to continue to receive your payments in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience and will keep you informed.

We have opened a special mailbox for you to communicate with our Customer Support. Please feel free to contact us at IndiaSupport@payoneer.com.

Possible Cause of Payoneer India Outage

Last year, in February 2010, PayPal had also blocked personal payments for Indian users and withdrawals to bank accounts in India were suspended following RBI intervention. As of Jan 2011, the personal payment still remain blocked by PayPal.

It looks like a similar situation this time with Israeli based Payoneer which was founded in 2005. I have been using their prePaid MasterCard since over an year now and its been a smooth ride. With PayPal, the transactions were resumed after provisions were made by them to include the PAN for Indian users alongwith a Purpose code.

We’ll have to wait and watch how the Payoneer India issue resolves with time for Indian users.

Update : I withdrew money from ATM on 7 Jan 2010 around 8AM in the morning. Other users have informed that ATM facility was blocked after 2 hours around 10AM.

Free Notepad Alternative : Notepad++

admin — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 21:18:04 +0000

One of the best Notepad tip someone would give you is well, not to use it! Well, actually, its using another version called Notepad++. Its like your default Windows text editor on steroids!

Notepad++ is a free application that we have previously covered in 11 Most Popular Open Source Software.

I would like to share this small software that works just like your regular text editor in Windows but infact is alot better. It has multiple addons that allow you to extend its functionalities and it’s theme / visual style can be customized to look like “TextMate” for the MAC.

Notepad++ is a free (as in “free speech” and also as in “free beer”) source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License. It is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, the makers are trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment. [Ok, thats a bit geeky. I agree]

Notepad++ Video Guide

I found a nice video on youtube that explains this in more detail. Check it out.

Today, Black Friday is not a crucial source of profit to retailers, but is important in driving traffic into stores. Many retailers mail special Black Friday circulars to consumers, announcing deeply discounted items in the hopes that consumers will visit their store on Black Friday.

Marketing studies have shown that many Black Friday shoppers will buy other merchandise from stores in which they planned to visit to purchase advertised items.
