Hi Salem,

 

I checked and can confirm that a withdrawal you're referring to was successfully processed on our end. Please know that Direct to Local Bank transfers take between 2 to 5 business days. If it hasn't reflected on your account after 8-business days, please reach out to us so that we can issue a trace for you. You can check out this article for more information about fees and timing associated with the Direct to Local Bank method.

 

Thank you!

Hello
Do you mean that money has reached my bank account and is already withdrawn
in my local currency (TND)?
If so, I can confirm that I haven't yet received any money from that
transaction.

Withdrawn was processed on Oct 16 and we are  todat Oct 26, that makes 11 days that I havn't received yet this money in my bank account
I was talking today to my local bank agent and he checked in his system screen
and he confirmed me that this money isn't arrived yet in his end.

Please trace the way to this transaction.
Thanks

Hi Salem,

 

We understand that receiving your earnings the soonest is very important. We aren't able to initiate a trace earlier than 8 business days after the withdrawal is initiated. Please let us know if you still don't see the funds on your account by Wednesday. 

 

Thank you!

Hi Saleem,

I am sorry to know about the late payments regarding the local bank transfer. We know that it takes 2-5 working days. However, you haven't received your money yet. But it will not be stolen or withdrawn by someone else, for sure.

 Wait 1- 2 days more, and I hope you will receive your money in your local bank. 

If not, Please contact the Upwork Support team.

Best wishes.

 

Thanks

Hi Mr. Salem, did you face a problem in TN using Direct local bank payment?

Hello Ahmed

In June 2020, I proceeded to two withdrawals to my local bank in Tunisia. The money arrived on my account within four days.

On October 16, 2020, I made a withdrawal to the same local bank account, but the money has not yet been credited to my account. I asked the head office of the bank in the capital, they said that there is no trace of the money that arrived at my bank. Maybe the money is lost, or has not yet left the issuing bank in USA

I am stressed about this last transfer. 35 days and I haven't received my money.

Are you experiencing the same problem?

Thank you

Thanks Bojan for your answer!

But I want to ask you the following:

What if my money is lost? am'I loosing it forever?

Can Upwork request to return back this money amount to my Upwork account, so I can withdraw it againvia payoneer?

Is there anycompensation from Upwork?

See my local banka ccount statement, there is no money transfer entering my account since October 16.

Thanks for the answer

I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't withdrawn yet, i'm a bit puzzled.

I hope you get your payment soon.

Hello Ahmed

thansk for your answer. I recommand you to withdraw via payoneer, its faster and more more secure, but you loose almost $6.00 for each withdrawl:

$2.00 upwork fees (instead of $0.90 as local bank account)

$2.5 if you want to uppload money instantly to payoneer card- and Free if you want to upppload money after 2 days.

$2.5 for each withdrawl by your local bank ATM.

with payoneer is more secure and faster.

Happy working and happy days ahead.

Hi Bojan , I understand but I just want to know if this has happened to anyone else before , I mean 45 days is a long time to wait for a payment normally I wouldnt create this much fuss but it was a very big amount for me , and I just want to know if theres a way it is lost or someone else faced any similar issue ...

Hello Saad

I'm sorry for this inconvenience.

In my case, I have been waiting for more than 2 months and finally money is back to my Upwork account. My local bank had rejected it! ! ! ! ! !

I don't know why? because I used to get my money in my local bank account within 3 or 4 days, but the last time it was rejected and been back after more than 2 months.

Anyway, don't be afraid, Upwork don't give up and will still tracing money and the ultimate solution is to get them to your Upwork balance.

Next time, it's safer to be paid through payoneer, it's safer and faster, but you lose some dollars with ATM withdrawals.

Cheers

Salem
