Direct to Local Bank withdrawal not received

Hi,

Dear Upwork Community,

I had set a payment method on Upwork with the correct bank account number but wrote the postal code in place of the postcode. Yesterday, I made a transaction but still have not received any payment. 

 

Please guide me. Is it a delay due to bank holidays, or is the payment transferred to another account? 

Best Regards,

Muhammad Hussain.

Hello Upwork support team.

I have not received my money after your famous 08 days.

I have requested payment since 07 Nov. Today is 21 Nov.

The bank does not recognize any authenticity of this document you sent  . It does not reflect the swift in any way. No origin of money transfer from X bank, from any country to UBA Bénin. This document does not prove that you have paid me according to my bank.

 

 Pay me my money, Please.

I have not received payment in my bank, it’s been a week now and it’s not showing anywhere in my bank.
My account details were correct and it was my first withdrawal from upwork. Can someone from upwork help me figuring out where my payment stands?

Hello Upwork
I’ve withdrawn my available balance on Wednesday (16th November) and I was expected it will be available in my local bank by next couple of days. Unfortunately, It’s been 9 days and no result yet. I’ve contacted my bank even and they said no balance and i even didn’t receive the confirmation email (with exchange rate and other stuffs) .

This is the history of my first withdrawal and the last on 20th November and the same history for this withdrawal as well.

Hi Omer,

 

If 8 business days pass and you still haven't received your funds please let us know, and we'll be able to initiate a trace then. Please also note that bank holidays in the U.S. and your location may affect these withdrawals. For example, today is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.

Hey  Andrea,

I already gave the wrong swift code, so its impossible to receive the funds, but it was not refunded to my upwork account as well.  Also, I used 'direct to local bank' option.

Hi Omer,

 

That's why we need to wait 8 business days since returned funds to your Upwork account would take 7.

Will it be returned to upwork account after 8 business days since withdrawal, or I need to wait 7 more days?

Andrea's avatar

Eight business days since the date of withdrawal, Omer.

I am confused in this situation, since 07, I asked for payment, until today I have not received anything.

The payment team said that they have started a tracing of funds that will last 2 to 4 weeks, and asked me to be patient.

This is the same case with many people.

After working, it is with patience that we will feed our families, pay electricity and internet connection?
