Local Bank Payment

[Ebunoluwa O]

I would like to know which Nigerian banks Upwork can pay into as at today

Have you tried the international wire transfer method, Ebunoluwa?  It looks like payoneer can also be an alternative payment method.  I got this info from this thread: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/How-do-you-get-paid-in-Nigeria-Paypal-does-not-work-for/...

Hello Ebunoluwa,

I once added my GTB account and after 3 business days I was able to payout into the account. But after I did that I couldn't payout into my GTB again. I got "Your local bank does not support... error message". So I added my Unity bank and once again after 3 business days, I did payout and was credited under 3 hours. I hope I don't get the same error message on my next payout to my Unity bank.

But if the same 2nd payout error keeps coming, I would keep adding different banks.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Akinbode A.

 I can now say boldly Unity Bank works fine. Made my second payment and got credited in less than 3 hours without any extra charges.

Updates: Zenith Bank works (no error messages etc)  without issues.

LFT seems to be is improving ! The last transaction I did (LFT - Zenith) was processed within 2 hours. Kudos to the support team who helped out when I had issues with this some few weeks ago.

I've always withdrawn to Diamond Bank. Previously it would take about 18 hours, but now takes 20 minutes. Last withdrawal I made took just about 10 minutes actually.

Hi Ebun,

Gtbank also works fine. My payment was processed within 2 hours at no extra cost! The collaboration between Upwork and Transfast is a brilliant and welcomed idea. Mighty thanks to the Upwork team!
