Transferwise

Hello 🙂

 

Will there be any chance in future of being able to use Transferwise for withdrawing funds as they usually have better rates than Paypal & Payoneer?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

It actaully is possible to use transferwise already. You just need to have USD account at TFWS (ehich is free) and then you can send funds to this account via ACH transfer completely free as well.

Regards,

Peter

Thanks Peter! 😄

How long does it take to receive payments from Upwork to Transferwise? Is it real time?

Hi Mary,

I'm still setting this up so can let you know once I've completed the first transaction.

I believe other freelancers (like Peter) may know already so perhaps they can answer sooner than me.

Hello

I am about to try the same and I am not familiar with how to set it up. I have a USD balance in Transferwise (now WISE) and there is a SWIFT/BIC Code which I have to enter and then a 10 digits account code. Is that everything I should reflect as the account where to send USD to? Also, the Transferwise postal address in New York, must be added to?

 

I am familiar with the european IBAN code but not with this which does not look that simple to me.

 

Thanks a lot

Hi Lino,

 

So what I did was:

 

Settings, Get Paid, Add Method, Direct to U.S. Bank (USD) - Set up.

Enter Account Holder Name, Select account type (my account is a checking account) and then enter the routing number & account number from your Wise account (no need to add address).

Click the check box and hit Add Account.

Upwork will then remit two small values to test the link, once received in your Wise account you will need to enter the values in Upwork to verify. 

 

After that you should be good to go! ^.^

thanks a lot! I will try: those instructions look pretty good.

 

Thanks again


Hello,

Does this include Saturdays and Sundays?
I withdrew the money on Friday and it has taken 24 hours already but it hasn't reflected yet on my TransferWise account.

Pls let me know.

Thank you!

Hi Mary Denelle,

Sorry - it should say one working day. 

I think you can expect it to hit your account on Monday.

Best regards,
N

How much time it will take to receive dummy payments from Upwork to transferwise?

 

I guess it took a little less than 48h.

Hey,

I wanted to know for the account type, I have one on Wise Business, so do I have to select Corporation Checking rather than Individual Checking ? Even if I'm working as a Freelancer on my own ?

My Wise US account take my business name also.

For instance, my first then last name are Julien Zen, but my business name that I provide on the US account of Wise is ZEN JULIEN. What should I put on Account Holder on Upwork ?

Hi Julien,

Do you have both an individual acount and a business account? Is your business incorporated?

If you have both, I'm guessing that you would need to select the account you want the funds to be credited to (and the details will have to match).

Perhaps someone who knows better will be able to provide a more correct answer?

Best,

N

Thanks for this quick answer.
No I only have business account currently on Wise, and my business is not incorporated.

Hi again Mary,

 

I've just tested this out for the first time with $100 withdrawal for each Wise & Paypal to compare.

For anyone wishing to know:

 

Paypal - $2 withdrawal fee $98 gave £68.85 - Instant

Wise - $0 withdrawal fee $98 (I adjusted to $98 to compare like for like) gave £70.49 - Wise withdrawal fee $0.95.  Upwork to Wise via ACH took 1 day & Wise to my bank was instant.

 

Best regards,

N

I tried that but everytime the screen freezes with a spinner. No request is sent, as you can see in the screenshot below.

Hi Gabriel,

 

I checked and it looks like you added a payment method recently and posted here about being resolved. Could you please let us know if you still need help with this?

 

Thank you.

Hi Noman,

 

Please know that ACH funds will arrive in your bank account within two to five business days. Processing and clearing times vary widely from bank to bank. Bank holidays can also delay your funds. You can find more information about US Bank (ACH) fees and timing in this help article

 

Let us know if you do not receive your fund in 5 business days and we will assist you further.

Hi Noman,


Everything looks okay with your ACH account so you should be able to withdraw funds using that method. However, if there are any issues with your withdrawal, please let us know so we can check.

 

Thank you.

Hi Noman,

 

Yes, you can remove it and add it back again. I would suggest checking with your bank first to make sure all the information you're entering is correct. 

 

Thank you.
