Bank code

[#1]

Hi guys,

I am so concerned as I just received an email from upwork saying that I should update my current payment method, which is local bank transfer. It says that I should input my bank code, I called my bank (which is the biggest bank here in Colombia, Bancolombia) and they say they do not have any bank code, they only have swift code which is the one I have been using all these years...I am so concerned about this update, I fear not being able to get my money...any advise or any Colombian colleague who is in the same position? Thank you!

I need to know what is the bank code for 'Banco Caja Socia', Colombia, I asked the bank and they told me that this is a number that Upwork should provide, so I don't have the code yet and I need to get paid

Hello i'm from colombia and was with the same problem

[#9]

I think you are wrong about using the acc numbers, For Bancolombia the bank
code is 1007, when you ask in the bank they gave you the 007 code
(compensation code), in the community forum we started this discussion and
the Upwork team help us, because is four digit code, the suggest us to use
1007. I hope this help you.

i just changed my bank code to 1007 (i guess you're right), so how long do you think it will takes to get the payment into my bank account? because i do get the email of the payment confirmation from upwork with the transfer number and i called bancolombia, they told me that they don't have any info about a recent transaction... do you think it may take 3 days (like the first transaction as new freelancer?)

[#11]

Good to know the code info help you, not sure about the transfer delay,
I've been receiving the money in my account the same day that I requested
it.

Hello I am currently having issues with my paypal account and it's link to upwork. I have an Itau bank account, can I link it to upwork for payments? Or is ti better to open a Bancolombia account?
Thanks!

Hi, I'm also experiencing the same issue but my bank is Banco Itau Corpbanca Colombia. Could you help me with the correct bank code? Swift code is BCTOCOBB.

Thanks!

Hi, Do not use the swift code, the code for Itau should be 1006, this is
the link where you can find all the codes (
https://www.banrep.gov.co/es/contenidos/page/c-digo-compensaci-n-le-corresponde-cada-banco),
for example
I am using Bancolombia and it work for me, the code is 07, since Upwork
platform is asking for 4 digits code, you need to add 1 and 0,

[#25]

Thanks Camilo, it worked just fine!
