Relation between freelancer and agency account

[master_devops]

Hi Team,

I have recently added an agency to my freelancer account and wanted to know few things.

a) Does billing of agency and my account will be totally different?

b) Can I bid from agency account using credits from my personal account?

c) Can I receive money in my personal account after completing project via agency?

d) What is required to add billing details of agency? Is it mandatory that I should be owner of agency? Actually, agency is registered on my mother's name, do I need to transfer the papers on my name?

Thanks, Nitin

Hi Nitin,

a) Agency and freelancer accounts have separate financial accounts

b) No, you can't use your freelancer Connects balance to submit proposals for the agency.

c) If the contract is under the Agency, the payment will be processed to the Agency and not on your freelancer account. You can't move funds between these two as well.

d) Just like when adding a withdrawal method on a regular freelancer account, the name on your bank account in Agency must be the same as the name on Upwork. You will need to use your own account or at least you must be a signer of a bank account if it's under a business or company account.

Feel free to check out this help article for more information about Agencies.

Thank you.
