Using payoneer debit card to send money online via western union

Western Union supports sending money online via debit cards and I wanted to know if/how I can use the payoneer debit card to send money online. Upon choosing to send money from US debit card (I believe I can do this though I'm in different country as my card is issued from USA), I see a form which asks me for billing zip code and this is where I've no idea of. Trying my local zip code throws an error so I assume it must be US zip code. I am not sure if Payoneer can help in this regard but would appreciate it much.

    @techgaun You cannot load your card through Western Union, unless they have a way to transfer funds to a MasterCard card.

    But if you use Payoneer's US/Europe Payment Service.

    You can make payments using Western Union's website: Send Money to a Bank Account

    The US/Europe Payment service is: Page on payoneer.com

    You cannot use Western Union to pay into a Prepaid Debit card account.

    I think you quite clearly missed the question. @techgaun did not ask if he/she could load her payoneer debit card through payoneer.

    @techgaun asked if he/she could SEND money to someone else on Western Union's platform, where Western Union has indicated we can use a debit card (but this time using our Payoneer debit cards).

    It doesn't work for me
    Credit card number is not accepted when I'm trying to send funds online on WesternUnion website.
    Let me rephrase, I'm not trying to load the account, I want to send money from Payoneer card to the person on the WesternUnion website
    I'm wondering why
    Could Payoneer support pls comment on this?

    Hi @Rollo
    Perhaps my answer is too late, but i've created an account on Westernunion's website and sent money using my payoneer mastercard : it was accepted, i've checked my payoneer balance and I was really debited.

    Hello there, where are you from Sami? I need to do the same using my Payoneer to send money on WU in order to personally withdraw cash. I'm in Venezuela and i want to send to Colombia, however i wonder if it is possible since probably i'd need to send to someone else (like my wife). When i went to US website and tried to simulate the operation it asked me for my US address, what location did you use to send the money?

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Hey buddy! Were you able to send the funds using your debit card? If so, what location did you use to complete the operation? Than you much for your time.
