billing method

[66d72958]

Can you help us? We need to hire people for software development. We got the money from a contest supervised by World Bank. We can pay only by wire transfer from Mexico City (international transfer) to Upworks account in the USA. Two question: is it possible for you to accept this method of payment? Can you provide an invoice of each job? Thank you for your reply.

By the way, I did not find a place where to ask this question directly to a staff of Upwork... after navigating for an hour ... ufff!

I'm sorry to hear you were unable to post a ticket to the Upwork Costumer Support Team. You should be able to file a ticket by filing a ticket on this page.

Please see this help article to know which billing methods are available on Upwork. I will also ask a member of the Customer Support Team to reach out to you about your concern so that they can check if there are other available options for you.
