Wrong account number and money transferred

Hi,
I just found out today that the money was transferred to a bank account, but I accidentally typed a wrong account number.
I did register a correct sort code, my name and address. Would the money come back to the account and I can get paid to another account? Or is there any way I can cancel the transfer?

I believe when the system finds out that the account number and the owner name doesn't match, the money will be transferred back to your account.

 

May take a couple of days, though.

Thank you very much and you were right, I actually have received a notification saying that it has been rejected by the bank. 🙂

Hi! How long did it take for you to get a notification? Happened to me, too. And I'm very very worried. 

Hi Rica Cassandra,

 

This withdrawal will return to your account once the transaction fails, which usually take from 7 to 10 days. If after 10-days, it still isn’t reflecting on your Upwork account, please get back to us so that we can issue a trace for you.  Please make sure to have the right information on your payment method moving forward so that you can receive your withdrawn earnings on time.

 

Thank you!

Hi Jeaniefer,

 

Thank you for your message. Please note that Direct to Local Bank transaction is processed within four business days. If we are unable to complete the transaction, the funds will be automatically reversed to your Upwork account after 8 business days. Please also take note that bank holidays both in the U.S, and your location may affect these withdrawals. In the meantime, please check this help article for more information about Direct to Local Bank Timing and Fees.

Hi! I just found out that my funds were transferred to the wrong bank account, missing 1 digit. What will happen to the money?

Hi,I had the same issue but the bank will double check and send the money
back. Took about 5 days until I had the money back. Best thing is to wait a
week. At Least that worked for me.

Hello! Happened to me also. Have you received yours?

Hi Racellyn,

 

If the payment method you used is incorrect, the funds will be refunded back to your Upwork account which usually takes from 7 to 10 days.

Hi Itsuki,

 

Unfortunately, we can't reverse a withdrawal once it's been initiated. If you haven't received back the funds after 8 business days, let us know here and our team will initiate a trace on your transaction. Thank you.
