Transfer to GBT without activating the card

r9800pro

After 2 attempts to get Payoneer card without success with standard shipping, I contacted support and paid $60 to get a new card via DHL and it arrived yesterday.

I added my Egyptian USD currency bank account and waiting for approval but didn't activate the card because I will not be using it to withdraw from ATM machines as I prefer withdrawal to bank account in USD.

Will that be ok or do I have to activate the card?

How long does it take to verify and approve my bank account?

Are there any limits to withdrawing to my bank account?

Are there any other hidden fees when I transfer to my bank account other than the 1% fees to transfer from PayPal to Payoneer and the other 2% fees to transfer from Payoneer to bank account?

Thanks in advance.
