Hi Malik,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. Your chosen payment method's account name should match your Upwork account name. Please know for security reasons, users will not be allowed to withdraw to another person's bank account as a payment method, unless the user is a joint-account holder of the bank account. You may check these other payment method options to see which is the right fit for your setup.

 

Thank you.

Hi Malik,

 

If you would like to withdraw funds using local bank transfer, you can update your name to match the name you have on your bank account. To learn more about other payment methods you can use to withdraw your funds, please check out the link that Aleksandar shared on this thread. Thank you!

That's abolutely fine, all you will need to do is show Upork the paperwork that links you to the company as the sole proprietor. Articles of incorporation or similar.

Hey! I have a bank account (current) under my company's name and I am the Sole Proprietor. Can I transfer my funds to that account??

Yes, absolutely. There is a fee on withdrawal for non-US banks, just so you know.

Thanks,

 

I tried and it says account name mismatch and the payment method is disabled. So should I mail them the document proof?

Thanks!

hello, I sent you two screenshots the first is on payoneer and the second is on Upwork, the address line 1, the postal code and the country is different than Upwork but on the other hand I did not make a mistake regarding the name, date of birth and identity card number. what I would like to know is that Upwork will accept my payoneer account so that I can make my first withdrawals.

I created my payoneer account this Thursday and it's tomorrow Sunday that upwork I will know if my account will be accepted, so I would like to know if I have no reason to worry.

@rabo

Hi Adama,

 

The availability of payment methods varies by country, and some banks may charge incoming fees additional to those listed above. Your available options will display when you add a payment method.

 

I can see that you already added your Payoneer account. For security reasons, when you set up a new payment method, it will become available for use 3 calendar days after it has been added.

so you mean I have the ability to add someone else's bank account? I would like you to be more clear because I have no other solutions I really need your help

@rabo

Hi Adama,

 

Yes, as long as the account holder authorizes it, you would be able to add their account as a billing method.

 

**Edited**

Yes, as long as you are also listed as an account holder, you would be able to add their account as a payment method.

Hi Adama,
