Hello,
I am requesting to be helped with my getting paid method. I am in Uganda and it's not favoured in most get paid methods. so, I am requesting to add my local bank account were the withdraw and transfer fees is $0.99.
I hope you consider my request and add Uganda to the list of countries that have the opportunity to transfer funds local bank accounts.
Thank you so much

Hi Faith,
I checked your account and it looks like you just added your bank as a payment method in your account. Please know that new payment methods go through a three-day security period before it becomes available to be used as a withdrawal method. Once it's available (13-December), you should be able to withdraw your Upwork earnings.

Hello Avery,
This is what I meant. Uganda is not among the countries that benefit from that offer of $0.99 per withdraw directly to local bank accounts. The direct withdrawal fee to local Ugandan bank accounts is at $30 per withdraw. Is there any other way?

Hi Faith,
Consider signing up with Payoneer. The transfer rates seem to be cheaper.
Ugandan members appear to use it more than direct to bank account transfers because of this.
Best of luck!

Hi, please consider adding MTN mobile money or sendwave as a payment method for freelancers in Uganda. PayPal does not work here. Direct bank transfers and payoneer are so expensive for Ugandans.

Hello @William, these are the options available to us, which of these is the MTN mobile money option?

If I understood William, he requested that upwork considers adding MTN mobile money for Ugandan freelancers. He did not say it is there and as a fellow Ugandan I upvote. The transaction methods are frustrating to work with. Thank you Upwork please look into it.

Hi Upwork,
Can you please include the payment mode Direct to Local Bank and transfer fees of $0.99 for Cameroon?
PayPal isn't working over here and Payoneer is challenging. Talk-less of the 30usd fee for Wire transfer.
The screenshot below is what is available for Cameroonians.
