Hi,
I added my bank account details to preferred Payment Method (Direct to Local Bank) quite a time ago. Per Upwork policy, it should've activated after three days of submission but still it shows as inactive (screenshot attached). I double-checked all the details again and submitted, still it is showing as Inactive.
Please note that I received no email from Upwork regarding any dispute or issue with my bank accoutn details either.
Kindly, help me get it activated.
Thanks for considering.

Hi,
Can you please check and let me know that why is my payment method showing as inactive?
Also, I read your previous post which states that we need to fill up some form for non US citizen and where do I get it?
Any assistance with this is highly apprecated.
Awaiting a positive reply with regard.
Thank you,
Suhail Shaikh

Yes, that would be the Form W-8BEN and it looks like you were able to file it and your payment method is active now.
