Names on PayPal account different from names on ones Africard could cause issue.

Many open PayPal accounts with different names including fake ones and add Africard to it
because the card has flaws of working with any PayPal account irrespective of the names on it.


They cannot shut Africard down but they could make it that names must tally or they eventually
block it from accepting withdrawals especially from PayPal.

Buxz prepaid visacard from zenith
Prepaid visacard from first bank etc

don't accept withdrawals especially from PayPal.

Is this confirmed? Because, I'm picking mine up tomorrow.

in addition, you need to earn up to $50 to withdraw to Payoneer, withdrawal is not auto like PayPal, you would have to chat admin with your email every time I want to withdraw to Payoneer. And you have to be ready to initiate your withdrawal few minutes after the weekly rated payments have cleared which happens every 1am on Fridays.

Now as per comparing the two platforms, these are my observations.
Similarities of both platforms
1. Both platforms pay low, GT just almost insignificantly higher.
2. Both pay on 'thursdays' slight differences based on their locations.
3. Flexibility in choosing when to work.
4. Rating system is 1 to 5
5. PayPal can be used as a firm of receiving monies earned
6. Both usually have enough calls if you are dedicated
7. Both use speaker labels, QA speaker labels are easier and constant, while GTs can be very diverse and wrong tagging can cost low ratings.
8. Both have transcription tools, most well established transcription companies do.
9. There are lenient and strict QAs or editors.
10. There are more and easier jobs in the middle of the night/early mornings.

Differences
1. GT trains you better to get external jobs, cos u would be a better transcriber. If I can consistently maintain a rating of around 4.3 to 4.6, your private clients will stick with you cos of your quality.
2. It's easier to earn on QA compared to GT, provided you master QA transcription platform properly.
3. It's easier to assimilate GT training and rules initially, but there a are a lot more to learn when you start.
4. QA deals only with calls, while GT does all kinds of transcription.
5. There is format specifications on GT, i.e full verbatim, clean verbatim, speaker change timestamps, or time interval timestamps.
6. Review of your work on QA is faster as it may take hours to even 5 days for your work to be rated on GT. Editors on GT usually run from bad files too just as transcribers.
7. GT transcription tool can be used for non-GT calls, and it's one of the easiest way to transcribe if its use is understood.
8. QA calls text are pre-transcribed by their platform, while GT does not. U can even get all the transcripts for a QA call by extracting the source file.
9. QA entry test will be like a child's play to pass for a regular GT transcriber. GT transcriber test is harder to pass.
10. You can easily earn more on GT by becoming an editor (QA) after achieving a minimum of 4.5 rating over 400 minutes of calls in a 60 day window period.

Will share more as I remember. Thanks.
Dude, how do I request a Payoneer payment from Gotranscript? The process is rather opaque and confusing

Let's assume you're using a different name, but I think what UBA will be interested in is the source of the fund into PayPal before it hits the card you linked. If the source is legit, why worry?
Ordinarily it is sender/PayPals job to verify funds and then subsequently issue a chargeback to withdrawing Bank. If you have taken cash out already then they can come to your house. But by then egungun will be aware because paypal go don wire you better claims emails.
The worst UBA can do is limit use of their cards in the first place. They shouldn't hold the money. Egungun can sue them o.

No. The rep was told to self-quarantine because his maid just came back from Italy.

Funnily enough, his accent was clear. It was the customer that ruined the call for me. I also gave it up.
Okay. Coronavirus seem to be in all the calls I have been working on lately.

I don’t even know, cause I googled a lot of them, and got plenty results, but the question is, do they all work internationally, or some are location based, that’s why I was asking which and which you work with, so I won’t encounter any problems, you know how this sites are when it comes to people registering from Nigeria undecided

Yea. There are calls mostly from 7pm till day break and then they disappear. So what I do most times is sleep well during the day to prepare for night duty grin

cheesy

Yeah you're right. And I believe Nigeria/Africa would be the worst hit as we don't have the much needed infrastructure in place to combat this outbreak.

Neither am I fighting him/her.

I clearly stated it is not working on what he/she quoted.

If he/she needs confirmation, then he/she should go practical.
