Hi Rayalain, 


Once you have a bank account, you can add it as a payment method in the Get Paid section of your Settings page (Settings > Get Paid), provided the option for Direct to Local Bank withdrawals is available to you. 

I would also like to add that new payment methods go through a three-day security period before they become available for use in your account.

No you can't. You have to use your own withdrawal method which must be in your name.
