# Payoneer Payment Status PROCESSING: Payment Processing

The payment or payout is actively being processed by Payoneer's systems. For bank-linked payouts, the funds have been transferred but may still fail to reach the beneficiary bank account.

## What it means

The PROCESSING status code indicates that a payment or payout has been submitted and is actively moving through Payoneer's workflow for approval and completion. It is an in-flight, transitional state rather than a decline or error. For bank-linked payouts, this status means funds have been transferred out of Payoneer but have not yet posted to the final beneficiary bank account.

## Classification & retryability

softRetryable: no

## Common causes

* The transaction has been successfully submitted and is under active review for approval by Payoneer's systems.
* Funds for a bank-linked payout have been transferred out of Payoneer but have not yet reached or cleared the beneficiary's local bank account.
* The payment is in a normal transitional state moving toward completion.

## How to resolve it

Because this is a normal transitional state and not a failure, no immediate intervention is required. Allow the transaction time to process through the banking network. Monitor the transaction status via the Payoneer dashboard, API, or webhooks until it reaches a final disposition, such as Completed, Payment Unsuccessful, or Payment Declined.

### For merchants

Do not attempt to retry the transaction while it is in the PROCESSING state, as doing so will likely result in duplicate payouts or double charges. Rely on webhook notifications or API polling to receive the final status update once the funds reach their destination or if the payment ultimately fails.

### For customers

Wait for the processing cycle to finish, as your funds are actively moving through the system. If the payout does not arrive after standard banking timeframes, check with your local bank or contact Payoneer support to determine if the transfer was delayed by the receiving institution.
