Hello there, after more than 9 hours of waiting, I have not received my Mpesa withdrawal yet. What could be the possible problem? How quickly can this be solved? I am being told that the transaction was succeful from upworks end.

Hi all,
I checked and it appears some of the freelancers who posted on this thread are using M-Pesa while others are using Direct to Local Bank withdrawal method. I'd like to reiterate that I'm not aware of an issue that would be affecting recently initiated transactions, all of which are within the expected time frame.
Furthermore, I can confirm we received a confirmation from some freelancers using M-Pesa that they received their funds. For freelancers using Direct to Local Bank, we'd appreciate your patience and expect you'll receive your funds within the expected four-business day time frame.
Regarding questions about the payment processors Upwork is using, we won't be able to provide that information and Valeria shared more information earlier this week on this thread.
Please do follow up to confirm once you receive your funds or if you'd like to receive additional assistance (24 hours for M-Pesa, 8 business days for Direct to Local Bank transactions).
As an additional note, our team is reviewing all the reports we're receiving and so far all transactions are being processed as expected. We appreciate your reports and will continue to monitor and communicate on this thread.

Can you like trace it or reverse it back to upwork? 24 hours is so long considering the money usually takes less than 30 minutes normally.
From Mpesa side, they have advised me that there is no such a transaction on their side. From upwork chat, I have been told that the transaction was successful from the end. Explains why I have alreadyreceived the confirmation email from upwork. Is there any this can be sorted like ASAP?

Me too. I haven't received my funds. Normal withdrawals via Mpesa take about 30 minutes to reflect but today it's over 9 hours now. Still waiting.
