Unable to add local bank account

Hi,

I am a freelancer from Canada. I can't enter my local bank information to get paid. When I try to enter the institution number and transit number, it didn't gave me the option to go to next page. I checked my bank information for many times, and I am pretty sure everything is right! Please help me to set-up my payment detail. 

Thanks,

Ruiyu

Hi Gulnihal,

 

We’ve designed the process of Adding a Direct to Local Bank payment method to be as straightforward as possible. To add your bank account: 

 

  1. Go to Settings  Get Paid
  2. Click Add Method
  3. Click the Set Up button for your chosen method
  4. Enter your bank account details, including bank codes
  5. Choose a payment schedule and click Next

 

Important things to know:

 

  • For security reasons, your new payment method will become active in three days.
  • Check that the name on your bank account matches your verified name on Upwork. If your payment method was flagged for a name mismatch, please contact support to resolve the issue or add a new payment method.
  • You should also contact your bank if you're not sure you have the correct information, or if you received an error when you tried to enter it into our system.
  • Upwork charges $0.99 per Direct to Local Bank withdrawal. Any additional restrictions, timing regulations, and fees vary depending on your bank.
  • Be sure that you enter your bank information, including bank codes, correctly. We want you to get your money on schedule and any errors could result in a failed transfer or delay. If you've exceeded the character limit on the Name on Account field, please contact your bank to get an appropriate abbreviation.
    • Since some banks aren’t in our database or have recently changed their information, your bank details may not be recognized. In that case, you can enter your bank information manually by selecting the "enter branch address manually" option. On the pop-up that appears click "enter it manually."​ Once clicked, a new form will appear to let you enter your bank details. You may want to re-confirm the bank code and other information on file with your bank before entering changes manually in order to avoid potential problems with withdrawals.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for this information. I tried to enter the bank address manually. The address field has character limits and I'm not able to enter the full address of the bank. However, I've entered the Bank name and IFSC code correctly. This isn't going to be a problem right?

No worries, Gagan! As long as you have the right account number and the name on the bank account matches the name on your Upwork account, there is nothing to worry with withdrawing your funds.

I am new to Upwork as a freelancer. When asked to enter my bank's IFSC code, it showed up as "bank not found". I even went to the RBI website as suggested by Upwork to get the IFSC code, "bank not found" shows up still. Upon filling in the bank details manually, it's the same thing. Please help!

Thank you for reaching out to us, Meghana.

Hi, I a freelancer from India. While setting up payment method to "Direct to local bank", I was asked to enter ifsc code (bank code for Indian banks), but after filling this code upwork cannot find my bank. Thereafter it says to manually fill bank address, but when I do this the "next" button doesn't come alive, hence I cannot proceed further. What do I do now?

Thank you for reaching out to us, Foram.

Hello, 

 

I am new on Upwork and I was setting my 'Get Paid' options, but it didn't turn out to be successful. 

I entered the IFSC code and Upwork didn't detect the same. 

Although there was a link 'enter branch address manually' given below the IFSC code option, this link only took me to the customer service and support. 

 

Please help me figure out the IFSC code part, I am sure that I have entered it correctly. 

 

Regards, 

Ann

Hi. I’m from India and I’m trying to add a local bank account but whenever I add the IFSC code it says that bank can not be found contact support. I am 100% sure that the banking code is correct and there is something wrong at Upwork’s end. The bank is ICICI bank which is a national bank here in India

Hi Divyansh,

 

I checked and it looks like you were able to add your bank account information. Could you please clarify if you need further assistance?
