Upwork is taking a very long time to transfer the withdrawn funds to my bank account.

This is unacceptable! Upwork has got to do better on transferring the funds to bank accounts a lot sooner.

I have Payoneer and I do my transfers to my same bank account and they event transfer the funds within the same day of when I make my transfer.

This is not an issue with my bank accepting international transfers.

I would like fore Upwork to work on this ASAP.

How long it will take when you transfer from Upwork to your bank? You are using Local transfer, right?

Are you receiving the funds in US$ or any other currency? If so what is the exchange rate in Upwork and Payoneer?

Hi MiguelAngel,

The time it takes to process a withdrawal to a local bank depends on a lot of factors and usually takes around 4 business days. If your payment is taking longer than that to arrive, please let us know

I have waited for over 5 business days for Upwork to apply a credit to my bank account so I can beging the process of depositing money into my account. I have written emails and asked queations with no help whatsoever. I spend more time fighting to get my funds then I do applying for freelance jobs. This site has been nothing but an inconvience to my business life then help. I am very disapointed.

Hi Brian,

I`m sorry about the inconvenience this had caused you. Payment methods takes up to 3 business days to be verified. I can see that you have opened a ticket for this, one of our team member will respond directly on your ticket and assist you further with this.

I have an open ticket on this issue. I did I withdrawal on 9/20 (that was sunday) but it has been 10 working days since then, still haven´t received my transfer. This is the second time I do a withdrawal, the first time took only two days. This is not a problem from my side (my bank). There should be a way to track transfers or more information on the transfer status.
