[avassallo]

Hello Nikola, 

Same issue for me and no one has responded to my request for support. No bank holidays in Italy so I don't understand why I have yet to receive my earnings released last Friday. 

Regardless of the amount, this is unacceptable.

Thanks for your consideration.

[michaelsoorys]

I'm in the same boat as everyone else. Potatoes for Christmas, this kind of a delay has not happened in 3 years of working on upwork.

Destination - Romania

Withdrawal date Dec 21st

Usual arrival time - next business day

Hi Nikola and sorry to bother.

When this issue started? I mean the last transfer i made was last November 24 and i didn't had any problem. Did it started after? If it did what is UW doing about this? Please notice that besides the five days the payment stays on pending after approval you'll need to add 15 days according to João Z. plus 3 days until it's available... That's a no no for freelancers in the EU.

Is it possible to explain a bit better how this currently works?

There is a lot of confusion right now, Nikola posted in April. This issue started with last week's payments for the majority of the people. I make a withdrawal every Friday and I have the funds available in my account by Monday morning. My last withdrawal was Friday the 15th of December, and no money in my bank account so far. There's a big problem when older threads are mixed with new ones.

What a load of cr_p this has never been the time frame for me and what I can see alot of other people you all mark it as solved but it most certainly has not been solved what are you people doing with our payments

I submitted payment withdrawal on March 18, then on March 19 I received a mail stating my payment is being processed and that it will arrive at my local bank between the date of 21 to 25 of March. And this is March 27 I still haven't received any payments in my local bank. It's more than 8 business days already, can you assist with that.

Overall, it's a helpful and informative response that addresses the client's concern directly.

I withdrew money from my Upwork account on April 10th and received a notification and email from Upwork stating that the payment had been processed. Normally, it takes only 1-2 hours for me to receive my payment. However, as of today, April 11th, I still have not received the balance in my local bank account. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? The reference number is 684463515. Thank you!

Hi Cindy,

I understand the importance of timely payments. Since it has been less than 24 hours since the withdrawal, we recommend waiting for the standard processing time to pass. Direct to Local Bank transaction is processed within four business days. If the transaction still hasn't reflected on your account after eight business days, let us know and we will assist you further. Please also take note that bank holidays both in the U.S, and your location may affect these withdrawals. In the meantime, please check this help article for more information about Direct to Local Bank Timing and Fees.

Hi, I hope you are fine. Yesterday I made a transaction to my local bank account and till now I didn't receive the payment to my local bank account. This is the first time I face this type of issue otherwise on my previous payments I get the payments after a few minutes of transactions made from Upwork. 

I call to my bank as well and ask them about that and they said, they don't receive any payment against this reference ID yet.

Can you help me to trace my payment or what is the issue actually?

I withdrew money from my Upwork account on April 1st and received a notification and email from Upwork stating that the payment had been processed. However, as of April 6th, I still have not received the balance in my local bank account.

I contacted my bank and gave them my Upwork Reference ID, but they said that they have neither received nor have any pending money from Upwork. Can you please assist me in resolving this issue? Thank you!

Alright, I will wait for the remaining days. If I don't receive the balance within eight business days, then I will contact the support team.

[indktr]

As far as I'm aware there's is nothing to trace unless you can get Upwork to share details like the swift code for the transaction, which apparently they are not willing to share for whatever reason. This is what I was told by my account manager at my bank.  

[072244a3]

Alright, I will wait for the remaining days. If I don't receive the balance within eight business days, then I will contact the support team.

Hello, I wanted to contact support in order to trace my payment to know what happened

[1edcb87b]

Hello, Juliana.

If you have not received a direct local bank withdrawal payment, the first step would be to check the payment status in your Upwork account. If the payment status shows that the payment has been processed and sent to your bank account, but you have not received it yet, you should contact your bank to inquire about the status of the payment.

If your bank has not received the payment, you can contact Upwork support and request that they trace the payment. To contact Upwork support, you can click on the "Get Help" button on your Upwork account dashboard and select "Contact Upwork Support". You can then select the appropriate topic and submit your inquiry.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns!

ThankYou.

[ArjayM]

Dear Support Team,

Yet I have not received my payment to my local bank account, can you please check the payment status from the sender's end?  First, My bank asked me to that the payment will be cleared in two to three working days after that bank server issue come up that's why my bank asked me to wait more  one-two day but now this problem is solved on my bank side. Still, I didn't get my payment.

Please consider my request 

Regard,

Hello Upwork Support Team,

I am writing to inform you that I recently attempted to withdraw a payment from my Upwork account to my local bank account. Unfortunately, I received an email stating that the payment was rejected by the bank. I tried again using another bank account but encountered the same issue.

I was charged a fee of $0.99 twice for these failed transactions, and my payment was returned to my Upwork account. I have been using these two bank accounts for payment withdrawals without any issues in the past, so I am not sure what could have caused this problem.

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and refund the fee charged to me twice as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Shahzaib Naeem

Hi Guys,

I have not received any email regarding "Your paymnet has been processed" from UpWork. Normally it took few mins but it is almost 6 hours and I have not received that email. Second I tried to contact support staff but the bot does not allow me to chat with real person and providing useless responses. Your support is higly appricaited.
