Over-charged Escrow payment

[f93e2496]

Hi all, 

I have hired a freelancer for 1 time project which cost total SGD 200 , upon completion of 1st milestone I have paid SGD100 but when saw my bank transaction I was being charged SGD 149.19 but email receipt shown SGD 145.13. 

I understand there is $3 processing fees, but why there is additional charges ?

Hi Siew,

Prices on Upwork are always in U.S. Dollars (USD). You can opt in to have the billing to your card to be converted to your local currency, but the amounts for rates, milestones, and transactions on the site will be in U.S. Dollars. More information can be found here.
