Payoneer is a global payment platform used by marketplace sellers, freelancers, and businesses to receive cross-border payments and access multi-currency accounts. For a US LLC, Payoneer requires business registration documents, an IRS EIN document, proof of business address, and identity information for beneficial owners. Payoneer is also the default payment processor for Walmart Marketplace seller payouts.
What Payoneer requires — and how a Arkansas LLC meets each
| Requirement | How your Arkansas LLC satisfies it |
|---|---|
| Business registration certificate | Upload your approved Arkansas Articles of Organization. |
| IRS EIN document | Provide your federal EIN (free from the IRS; non-US founders without an SSN must apply via Form SS-4 by fax or phone rather than the online tool) — independent of Arkansas. |
| Beneficial owner identity (25%+ owners) | Provide a government ID for each beneficial owner. Arkansas lists members on public filings, so the names already match state records. |
| Business address proof | Use a US street address registered to the LLC in Arkansas (your registered-agent or virtual business address). PO boxes are usually rejected. |
| Consistent business name across all documents | Use the exact LLC name on your Arkansas Articles of Organization; it must match your bank account holder name. |
Arkansas-specific things to watch
- Arkansas lists LLC members on public filings, so Payoneer's beneficial-owner check will line up with public state records — you still upload a government ID for each owner.

Non-US founders
Payoneer is widely used by non-US founders receiving marketplace payments worldwide. Non-US owners of a US LLC verify with their non-US government ID. A US business address and EIN are still required for the business entity. Payoneer supports receiving payments in multiple currencies without a US bank account.
