Can I get paid with my local account which is for dollars?

Hello, 

I wonder if I can get paid with dollars with my local dollar account.

When I try to add that account, system says account currency is set in KRW.

Can I get paid with dollars, not exchanged?

Hi Jiwon,

 

If you use the Direct to Local bank option, your funds will be in your local currency. The currency conversion will be performed by Upwork's banking partner at the time the funds are sent to you. While it's not possible to show the real-time conversion rate, you can check the last exchange rate used by Upwork's banking partner on the manual withdrawal form.

 

If you prefer to withdraw your earnings in USD, you may want to use Wire Transfer. Wire transfers are a well-established way to make bank-to-bank funds transfers across international borders. They are available to all freelancers with a valid bank account outside the U.S. using the SWIFT system. Please feel free to read more about it in this help article
