Payoneer for ClickBank Payments – Hope at Last for Kenya and Other Countries Not in ClickBank List

Receive ClickBank Payments with Payoneer

This post is both for Kenyans and other countries that are not in ClickBank’s list of countries. There is some hope for affiliate marketers from these countries in terms of joining ClickBank, promoting stuff and getting ClickBank payments through Payoneer.

Affiliate Marketing is the Way to Go

As most of us may know, you may not earn enough money doing active freelancing. The best way to get some passive income online is to do affiliate marketing on top of active freelancing (writing, graphic design, web design e.t.c.).

For the longest time, most huge affiliate marketers have been making most of their money from ClickBank. Unfortunately, Kenya is among the countries that are not in ClickBank’s list yet (:.

I have taken a lot of time researching on how Kenyan affiliate marketers can make money through ClickBank. I have also gotten many mails and even calls from people who want to promote ClickBank products but they couldn’t. It was even sadder for those who went ahead and registered on ClickBank, promoted stuff and got commissions; only to realize that they can’t access their cash due to the former 2 check policy.

Difficulty in Accessing ClickBank Cash

ClickBank had a 2 checks policy where before you could add a bank account, you needed to cash 2 checks under your name. In short, if you promoted Affilorama for example and got your $65 affiliate commission, you’d get a check in your mail that would need to be cashed in a country that is in ClickBank’s list. You therefore would not access the cash from Kenya.

Why? Kenya is not in their list of countries. You would need a bank account under your name from one of the countries in their list. In essence, you would need to create a US account under your name and cash 2 checks there before you could add the Global Payment Service from Payoneer. This is the service that will help you receive cash on your Payoneer account.

Good News for Affiliate Marketers Not in ClickBank’s List

On December 6th, 2012. ClickBank announced that it no longer has that 2 check policy. This means that you can go ahead and register a ClickBank account and add the Global Payment Service as your bank account. It also officially announced the fact that you can receive ClickBank payments with Payoneer.

What to Do

As stated before, I will be doing a lot of posts on affiliate marketing. These will hardly be enough since affiliate marketing is a whole ball game on its own.

My advice is you sign up for Payoneer using by clicking on my Payoneer referral link here. Once your account is approved, you’ll get access to the Global Payment Service (sort of a virtual US account). This will enable you to receive payments from lots of sources such as ClickBank, Amazon and many others.

Final Thoughts

Kenya is still not in ClickBank’s list of countries therefore we still remain hopeful.

The fact that ClickBank accepts Payoneer is great since it gives some possibility of Kenyans receiving their commission through ClickBank one day.

However, I don’t encourage you to join ClickBank yet since we’re officially not supported. My role here was to just break this news and hope that soon we will be added into the ClickBank list of countries.

Meanwhile, I recently contacted ClickBank requesting them to add Kenya. They stated this may be done soon but didn’t indicate the time. I will follow up with them and ask whether Kenyans can start promoting products using the Payoneer option. Once I get the official communication, you’ll be the first to know!

    Walter after you open a payoneer account does it get you an address and all that is required in clickbank?

    • Walter Akolo says

      Hi Patricia,

      Note that ClickBank still doesn’t work in Kenya so I recommend trying out other affiliate marketing platforms.

  2. sproctor says

    Hi,Walter what country are u supposes ed to put,when signing up for click bank using payoneer,because am in a country where clickbank is not supported,does picking up any country on the list matter?

    • Walter Akolo says

      Hi Sproctor. I stopped looking into it since our country is also not there. Back then there was an option we used to use when signing in but it’s no longer there. Something like APO/FPO…I can’t recall how exactly we did it, but that’s not important since they shelved it. I would advise you just leave it alone and try other ways of doing your affiliate marketing.

  3. Victoria says

    Thank you for this great info Walter. I have a query. If I do affiliate marketing I need to have a ClickBank account for me to receive my commissions? Because there are those sites that are asking for a ClickBank ID. In that case what can one provide if they are not accepting Kenyans?

    • Walter Akolo says

      Hi Victoria,

      I decided to keep my efforts off ClickBank and any other site that does not allow Kenyans. There are so many other sites that love and freely work with Kenyans.

  4. Said Said says

    NO! Tanzania isn’t listed in Clickbank. But a friend of mine tells me he put South Africa as his country of residence and used TZ address to receive his cheque and hadn’t had any issues cashing his cheque.
    I wanna try that. Lets see how it goes.

    • Walter Akolo says

      Alright Said. I decided not to focus on it at all since I never like feeling like an unwelcome visitor.

      • LAVRINE , Kenya says

        Which other affiliate sites can we use instead?Kindly assist me the list because would really want to work on- line

          • Dennis says

            If you are able to share roughly the amount someone can get, would be of great help. I’ve read reviews of other platforms being a scum and at times getting to choose is difficult because one could end up losing money and effort. Which affiliate marketing program would you recommend?
            Thank you

          • Walter Akolo says

            Hi Dennis,

            Good to check each site to see the exact details. They keep changing. For the above, Payoneer gives $25 to $50 per qualified referral (a referral who has received $1,000 in their Payoneer account), HostGator $50 per qualified referral (a referral who has paid for at least 2 months and has their files properly hosted in HostGator) and AWeber pays 30% recurring commissons (meaning for as long as your referral pays AWeber, you’ll be getting 30% of their commissions monthly).

  5. Solomon mwale says

    It is really great to see that many are still looking for way to register with click bank.

    I believe we have managed to get the solution with the coming in of payoneer. All those that have been registered with payoneer they will be bale to get their clickbank commission through their debit card with fail at all.

    Using these cards we will be able to get our commission from any ATM machine that supports the master card. Apart from that you will also be able to buy anything online and It will be great solution to all those that would like to spend their money online.

    • Walter Akolo says

      Thanks Solomon. We’re not there yet though where ClickBank is concerned. So far, Kenya is still not in their list. There’s still hope though. Otherwise I agree that Payoneer is a fantastic payment platform.

  7. Esther OBIMBO says

    Hi Walter when you want to purchase something from click bank what shld you enter on the country place since Kenya is still not on their list of countries

    • Walter Akolo says

      Hi Esther. You can purchase via PayPal and it will not ask for country. Otherwise you can put any country close to Kenya in case it’s a one-off purchase.

  8. Adesanmi Adedotun says

    Clickbank is one of the best affiliates for internet marketers if not the best but it’s a big slap on most African countries that most big company doesn’t value their impact in the world of economic. This does not only applicable to Kenya but also happened to Nigeria which is my home country but thank God for Payoneer that makes everything very easy this day.

    • khushal naran bhanderi says

  10. cynthia says

    • Walter Akolo says

      Hi Cynthia,

      Sorry I am not using it. I stopped when I realized it’s a headache for Kenyans. I hope they add Kenya soon.

      Thanks and stay blessed.

      Walter

    • Walter Akolo says

      Hi Brian,

      They have not yet added Kenya to their system. They say we keep checking every few months.

      Thanks.

  12. Frank says

    Thanks for the update, but do I ask is it only in Click-bank one can earn money thru’ internet marketing?

    Could you be knowing other market place that incorporate Kenya in it’s business? Is OLX a market place one can earn commission?

    Also what are the KEY strategies and steps to succeed?

    I did mean to ask endless questions, but they are Essential to save time.

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    • Walter Akolo says

      Hi Frank,

      Clickbank is not the only one, you can get commissions from independent sites such as HostGator and Payoneer.

      Those and many others incorporate Kenya.

      Strategies include blogging, eBooks and forums etc.

      Thanks

      Hi Ashkar,

      This doesn’t affect purchases. Just go ahead and buy and pay via PayPal or Visa.

  14. lilibug2022 says

    Hi Walter,
    I just started the internet marketing thing and was quite crushed when I realized that we’re not on Clickbank list. And they have Tanzania! Tanzania???? Damn! How the heck did that happen?…we have more buying power in Nairobi than the whole of Tz!…Very annoying stuff!…Anyway, thanks for the great info! I’ve been searching online for reasons why Kenya is not on list the whole day and yours and another guy’s blog helped answer my question in depth. Asante.
    ps: I’d appreciate some tips on making money online…can you share? Thanks again, buddy!

  15. jammo says

    Hi walter, What about clicksure? Have you tried them yet? because they are saying that their 7 day trial is $4.97 and after a month full membership fee is $29.95 per month. Is it a scam?

    • Walter Akolo says

      Hi Jammo,

      I’ve not tried out ClickSure and I don’t even know if it is a scam.

      Kindly Google “ClickSure Reviews” and see if they have good reviews. If they have bad or 50/50 reviews, don’t go for them. It’s always best to go for stuff with overwhelmingly great reviews.

      Thanks

  16. Ted says

    Hello Walter,
    Great posts.
    I am currently trying internet marketing and have also come across Payoneer.
    Before I go ahead and make the purchase; I just wanted to know whether you have given payoneer a try.
    Thanks.

    • Walter says

      Hi Ted,

      Thank you for commenting.

      Internet marketing is awesome!

      I have been using Payoneer for the longest time so I can vouch for it any time.

      Feel free to ask any more questions.

      Walter

  19. angie says

    Thanks Walter again for the good work you have been doing here. We hope clickbank finally allows us on board. I had tried to request for that a few years back but they said it was impossible because of security issues. Hope they reconsider that now that there are more of us interested in working online. Kudos.

    • Walter says

      Thanks for your comment Angie,

      I believe with this step they are reconsidering already. The 2 checks policy totally blocked out guys from countries like Kenya. Now that it’s out, it is easy for anyone around the world to join and withdraw. I believe they’ll change that policy soon.

      Thanks
