Thanks Ravindra fro the response. Money is still not credited to my bank account. I talked to the bank and they dont find any transaction done by the upwork or its alleids on the said date. According to them, if the Upwork has processed the money on friday, it could have credited on the same day itself, as the NEFT and online transactions were not affected by the bank holidays. I dont know, where my hard earned money went.

I agree with you that NEFT and online transactions should not be affected by holidays.
29 March 2024 was indeed a holiday, but Upwork did process the wirhdrawal (for which it needed to interact with the Indian bank or its affiliate).

If you look at the confirmation email you received from Upwork, you will see this statement near the end:

"Please contact your bank to get the exact deposit date in case of delay. If an issue arises, we can trace a missing payment for you at no charge after 8 business days." (emphasis mine)

I would like to ask for some help regarding my withdrawal using a direct bank, I managed to withdraw my earnings on March 18, 2024, but still now (April 1, 2024) I have not received my earnings and already checked my bank account, I reach out already using Upwork online support but they don't give me updates about it, after that I double check again my withdrawal history I notice the transaction was been erase cause it says "You haven’t made any withdrawals yet." and my available balance is 0, I just wanted some updates on it.

When you send money to the local bank directly, you receive two emails, 1 to inform you that the process has started and the other to tell you that the payment is confirmed which indicates that the money is from Upwork side, Have you received these emails ? 

[buyanjoshua]

Yes, Sir, I received the two emails, the one says "You requested payment from Upwork via Direct to Local Bank transfer account." and the other one says "We have processed your payment request submitted on 18-Mar-2024. Your payment may take up to 5 business days to arrive at your bank" 

[ravi_iitian]

I withdrew money from Upwork at 5:36 AM (IST) [12:06 AM (UTC)] on Friday, 29 March 2024.

I received the confirmation email from Upwork at 10:55 AM (IST) [5:25 AM (UTC)] on the same day

The money has not yet arrived in my bank.

[ravi_iitian]

Thank you, Nikola.

I have received my payment, but I seem to have received somewhat less (just Rs 10.05) than the expected amount.

Upwork always provides a disclaimer: This amount does not include any fees your bank may deduct.

But in the past, there has not been any deduction by the bank, and I have always gotten the amount calculated using the provided exchange rate.

Hi. Appreciate it if you can help me as well. I withdrew my funds yesterday April 2, 2024 and typically it will reflect to my account after 2 hours. Until now, I have not received it. Please help as I needed the funds very badly. If you could help me raise a ticket for this please.

Thanks,

Virgilio

I just had an issue regarding my salary that was currently being transferred to my closed bank account. Would there be a way I could transfer it to my new bank account?

Your help regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Hello Upwork,

I recently (Apr 5, 2024) initiated a withdrawal of my available balance to my local bank account in Pakistan for the first time. However, I haven't observed the payment reflected in my bank account yet. Could you kindly provide me with an estimate of the processing time for such withdrawals to appear in my bank account? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Aileen,

If you don't mind me asking, how long before the funds reflected back on your Upwork account? I am still waiting for mine after I withdrew my funds last week to a closed bank account.

Best,
Ian

I've requested a Direct to Local Bank Transfer on 9 AM (GMT-3) on Monday, April 8th, and until now I've not received any kind of update. Ref ID 683127830

I've only got this message in my e-mail:

"Hi Vinicius, You requested payment of $615.51 from Upwork via Direct to Local Bank transfer account. Contact Upwork Support if this request was not authorized."

I'm wondering if there's anything wrong going on, as there's no holiday on both countries and by now I should've already received the money.

Thanks in advance.

[ArjayM]

Hi, I'm from the Philippines and it's my first time processing a withdrawal from Upwork to Security Bank. I need to know when I'll get the money. I've read that it might take 4 days before it loads successfully. Is this correct? Is there any way to expedite payment at all? 

[usa0711e]

Hi Lucy,

The transfer varies from bank to bank but generally 2-6 business days is normal. My bank in the USA takes 3-5 business days.

[lama-pema]

Yeah! it might take 3-4 days depends on the time you have withdrew the amount. If i happen to withdraw my payment in the middle of the week, then it takes around 5-6 days because they have credited into my bank account but since Indian banks are closed on sat-sunday, so it takes time to reflect the balance on my bank account.

[JoanneP]

Hi Lucy Anne,

Direct to Local Bank transactions take up to four business days to arrive at your bank. There is a 12:00 pm (noon) UTC cutoff time for same-day processing. After that, transfers will be processed the following business day. If the transaction still hasn't been reflected on your account after eight business days, let us know, and we will assist you further.

Please also note that bank holidays in the U.S. and your location may affect these withdrawals. In the meantime, please read this help article for more information about Direct to Local Bank Timing and Fees.
