Hi Kunule. I am having the same issue. Did you get help?

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Simon,

One of our team members will reach out to you via ticket as soon as possible and assist you further with your withdrawal. Thank you.

[mwithiga_simon]

Hi Goran. Yes, a member of support reached out, but I have a concern. What's the point of reaching out, yet I am not able to get the support I seek. All I keep being told is that a trace of my funds will be initiated, and I can't help but wonder; when will I get the update. Do you guys have constraints accessing your own system to trace funds? Nothing demotivates you like knowing that you have worked so hard to get where you are, yet you cannot access your earnings for whatever reason. I am very dissapointed cause something's definitely not right. An Mpesa withdrawal is usually express, but I have been waiting for 5 days. 5 days of waiting??? Feels like you guys are stalling!!!

Hi Simon,

I understand how it's very frustrating not to be able to access your earnings. I know how it's equally frustrating when you don't get updates about your issue. Please understand that our teams get back to every concern they get, and they will address these concerns by the order in which they were received. If the team handling your case is unable to update you on your concern, it hasn't received any additional information on their end yet. 

In this case, I can see that the Payments Team has already escalated this issue and issued a trace. Once they have more information about this transaction, they will update you through the same ticket thread with more information. 

In the meantime, I have notified the team that you have followed up in the Community and you can expect an update on your open ticket very soon.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have not received an email that my payment was processed since yesterday. Can someone help me check if my withdrawal was successful?

Thank you.

I haven't received my money from 16th December. Usually, it takes less than 30 minutes. I haven't also received a satisfying response from Upwork. I am really worried

[erixus]

Hey

I withdrew my money through Mpesa on 16th December. I havents received the money. Upwork even requested my mpesa statement which I gladly provided. It takes less than 30 minutes to receive cash.

Hi, this is the first time I have had an issue with Withdrawing from Up-Work. I keep receiveing a notification saying that my paymeny method has been diabled. I never disabled it, but even after re-enabling it and tyring a withdrawal, Up-Work cuts its processing fees and still the withdrawal doesn't go through. This has happened four times now, and my withdrwal is still not going through. I would like a refund of all the processing payments that were deducted, and my withdrawal to actually get through.

I can confirm that I have been using Mpesa and never had a challenged, my settings say that Mpesa is activated. Plese help.

Thank you.

Hello,
Today morning i have withdrawal to Direct local bank and didn't received yet. Can you please help me in this regard?
Thanks

[BojanS]

Hi Ahmad,

I checked and can confirm that your withdrawal 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!

[ahmad314]

Should i contact to my bank because it is very first time that it is getting late otherwise my all previous withdrawal didn't take more than 1 day.

[kitcodes]

Hi, My Upwork account had a notification to update payment details. And I've added Bank Code there. Normally the money is transferring to bank within 5 hours of time. I've made 2 transfers to check. But Still I didn't get the money on my account.

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Heshan,

Your withdrawals were successfully withdrawn. As Bojan mentioned in his post, please keep in mind that It can take between 2 to 5 business days for the funds to be loaded on your bank account. If you have not received the funds after 8 business days let us know, and our team will initiate a trace on your transaction. Thank you!

[kitcodes]

Hey, Thank you. Will check

[giuseppesacco]

Hi Goran,

you can check my withdrawal request ? 

Thanks

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Giuseppe,

Please keep in mind that It can take between 2 to 5 business days for the funds to be loaded on your bank account. If you have not received the funds after 8 business days feel free to follow up on your ticket and our team will initiate a trace on your transaction. Thank you!

[giuseppesacco]

Hi Goran,

If the withdrawal is not processed by Upwork, I do not believe that I will receive MY money.

2 business days have already passed and the support has confirmed to me that the payment has not yet been sent.

Honestly, it doesn't seem right.

A freelance would like his money to celebrate Christmas and instead ... For the moment I also stop working on Upwork, because I am afraid of not being paid.

[giuseppesacco]

Hi Goran,

I asked the Chat Bot and this is his answer. So Upwork processed withdrawal in 1 day..and instead my withdrawal was not processed, so it can never get into my bank account. I would like a concrete answer as to why Upwork holds the money.

"Upwork processes transfers within one business day, funds should arrive at your bank within four business days."

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Giuseppe,

Rest assured that you will receive your funds. Our team can initiate a trace on your transaction after 8 business days and assist you further with your funds.
Once again, I would like to confirm that there's nothing to worry about, your funds are not lost. 
The usual timeframe for Direct to Local bank withdrawals is 4 business days.

If you have any additional questions let me know, if private details are involved please post them on your ticket. Thank you.

[ahmad314]

have you received your amount? As i didn't receive yet and it's 5th day.

[ishmael1968]

I have not receive anything since the 18th of december. I am really upset I will spent my xmas with my family with nothinh. How can they do this to us.

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Ahmad,

You're more than welcomed to double check with your bank about your withdrawal. If you don't receive them after 8 business days let us know here, and our team will assist you further. Thank you.

[jonenriquez]

[quinterooscar]

Hi, I recently requested a withdrawal, the withdrawal is taking longer than usual. I received the payment processed email notification but it didn't specify which payment processor was used.

Is there a reason for this ???? Usually, it tells me that my payment processor is transfast, but on this occasion, it doesn't mention anything.

Best regards,

Oscar

[raretalent19]

Hey Abdul - I've experienced the same issue. Could you please verify how long before you received the payment?

[dropout]

Hi Jescyn, I received the payment after 30 days.

[ishmael1968]

Hello,

[ishmael1968]

Xmas is fats approaching and I have bills to pay I really need somebody to help me in this. I am really upset as this never happend to me before.

[walcot10]

I am experiencing a similar problem too. I tried to withdraw yesterday via the "Direct to Local Bank" method. This is over 24 hours now and I am yet to receive the money on my bank account. I have been using this method of withdrawal for more than 2 years and it usually takes about 30 minutes for me to receive the money. I contacted a support agent today and it was confirmed that the withdrawal has been processed. The agent told me that withdrawal can take up to four business days for the money to get to my bank. So I have to wait for four business days before I complain again if I don't receive the money.
