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.

I have a Payoneer account, I linked my Payoneer account, and whenever I withdrew money, it was instant.

So, then i added my Payoneer US bank details( which will be shown if you click on USD banner in Payoneer) into Upwork and withdraw money into ACH account. I withdrew money on Thursday and it's Monday here but haven't received any money in my Payoneer.

 

Please note that I'm from Pakistan and I have verified  Payoneer account.

Hello MoAdib, I was wondering if you were able to resolve this issue. I'm considering transferring funds via ACH to my Payoneer USD receiving account. Would you say it's a secure method to use?

Thanks, Arjay for replying to me, it is taking time on my newly added bank account. but when I withdraw from my old bank account it does not take more than 30 minutes to arrive. So this delay would be for the first time when I withdraw from a new account? and later it will arrive fast when I will withdraw for the second time?

Hi Syed,

 

As Arjay mentioned, Direct to Local Bank transactions may take up to four business days to arrive at your bank. We understand that you are used to receiving the funds sooner but anything less than four business days is still within the expected time frame for the funds to arrive at your bank, there isn't a delay unless there's a Bank Holiday in the US or in your country.

Hi! I withdrew my money from Upwork about 5 days ago but I still haven't received the money. Normally i get it within an hour. At first, I thought maybe it's because of the holidays (Saturday and Sunday) but didn't even receive it on Monday or Tuesday. I need it right now so can you tell me what should i do?

I hope this has nothing to do with the Banking Crisis in the U.S. In my case I requested a payment yesterday morning and during 2 years they always get to my bank the same day but yesterday I got nothing. I am still expecting that payment.

Hello I requested for a payment via my Upwork account at 8:20am 03/21/2023, I got a message from Upwork that the payment has been processed. However, the fund is yet to reflect in my local bank account until now. 

I have being using this "direct to local bank account" for a while now and I get my payment in less than 5hours. I wonder what's happening now. What could be the issue now?

Hi,

 

I am based in Kenya and chose the direct-to-bank payment option for my Upwork account. The first installment of my gig fees (from a client based in US) was cleared on Upwork about 6 days ago but I have not received the funds in my account and I have not received any notification from my Bank or from Upwork on the reason why there is a delay. I need some help since I am unsure whether I should proceed with my gig if I will not receive all my money.

 

This is quite urgent so if anyone knows an email address I can use to directly contact the Upwork help center I'd really appreciate if you could share it. Thanks
