Hello! can someone help me with the payment method I have 2 problems.
1- I live in Lebanon, and the bank account is not under the same as my upwork accout name
2- I get hired for a project with a small budget so i can't use the wire transfer since the fee is much bigger than the amount needed.
I would really appreciate your help.

Hi Aline,
You can use any bank account that's in your name or is a joint account that has your name on it as a withdrawal method. If you’d like to explore other ways to receive your payments, you can check the payment method options available to you by clicking on “Add Method” in the “Get Paid” section of your Upwork account (under “Settings”).
Thank you!

Hello Elias,
Hope you're doing well.
I would like to know if you withdrew your earnings from Upwork or not yet. If not, do you know if someone is able to withdraw during this pandemic without any issues?
Thank you so much. And have a great week.
Hadi

Hi Hadi ,
Yes , i went and opened an "external account" in the bank for fresh funds , and i was able to transfer with no issue , there is a couple of forms that you need to sign , and you need to provide statement of earning , it was straight forward and easy .

Hi guys!
I just want to share my experience in withdrawing money from Lebanese banks.
The best option for you is to have a fresh USD account and transfer payments via Wire Transfer. (It is preferable to withdraw a large amount at one time because of the 30$ fee)
Simply try to get a fresh account, (I have a fresh account in Bank Audi - Visa card) but other banks work too, and then the bank will require details about the work, so send him the certificate of earnings, and make sure that the info in the bank account matches the info in your Upwork account. (Residence, name, etc...)
I hope that helps!

Dear Mrs. Aline,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about the process of receiving payments from Upwork. Specifically, I am wondering if I need to create a new and fresh account in order to receive payments, or if creating an OMT card in dollars would be sufficient.
Additionally, I am curious if Payoneer is a viable option for receiving payments in Lebanon. If you have any information on this topic, I would greatly appreciate your insights.
Finally, I wanted to ask about wire bank transfers and whether this is a feasible option for receiving payments. Any information or guidance you can provide on this matter would be extremely helpful.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing back from you as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Fadi
