Direct to Local Bank withdrawal not received

[#1]

i was transfer balance on 29.02.2023 through direct bank payment. but still not received the balance in my bank. what should i do Now?? please help

[#2]

It can take up to 7 working days for direct bank transfer.....

[#3]

Day 8 since I withdrew funds (31 December 2023) and I am still yet to receive. 
My bank have not received and there are no pending transactions in my account. 
Upwork have done literally nothing but tell me to just wait and they will do a trace on January 9th (tomorrow). 
This is completely ridiculous. The job that this payment is for I completed almost a month ago now. Then we wait for Upwork to mark our funds from pending to available, then wait what is now turning into weeks to receive funds. This is not ok. Freelancers rely on being paid. Why should we work hard, which Upwork profits from and not be paid and/or wait ages for payments. 
stop treating us like dogs Upwork! Look at the amount of people in this thread who have not received payment recently. Why would we recommend fellow freelancers join this platform when this is how we are treated? 
After 4+ years on this platform, you won't make not one more dollar from me, I'll be deleting my account and I will be letting everyone know that this is now a scam site.

As a new member on the Upwork platform residing in Turkey, I selected the "To direct local bank" method for the payment. I confirmed the withdrawal process on Monday, and as of now, the payment has not been credited to my account. I would like to inquire if there is any issue causing the delay and what the usual processing time is for such transactions.

Thanks in advance

The withdrawal failed and my upwork account was credited. Reason being invalid bank details. I have updated my bank details and hope to get faster processing speed

Hi Azeez,

I'm sorry if you still haven't received your funds and we certainly understand how important it is for you to get your funds on time. However, I checked and can also confirm the transaction you're referring to was successful on our end.

Hello Arjay,

Can you also check on my end? I made a withdrawal since monday(3 days now) and nothing in my bank account! Before then I also made a withdrawal that took 5 days just to fail at the end! So basically that is 8 days in total.

Hi Victor,

Thank you for your message. We can initiate a trace for the withdrawal that was not received after 8 business days excluding weekends and bank holidays. Feel free to message us if you do not receive funds after 8 business days.

Should be banking delay. But look like lost.

After 8 days you can ask support for payment search. Do it if won't wait more.

[#17]

Thanks for your quick response, but I couldn't find a direct communication channel. Could you please provide guidance on the correct method, or is there a designated email address for support inquiries?

Thank you once again. Unfortunately, the communication process has proven challenging, and I've been unable to obtain any updates. I'm uncertain about the expected waiting period.

Hello, I have withdrawn some amount from Upwork, but after 8 hours no update. Can anyone help? 

It usually takes about 2–4 hours to transfer to my local bank.  But today I didn't see any update from Upwork about the process. 

Thank you!

Hello, I made a withdrawal(direct to local bank) on the 8th of January, It took 5 business days to get any feedback. It got rejected on the 15th. I made adjustment to my bank details and made another withdrawal(ref id: 656255596), it's the 5th business day now and no feedback. I've heard lots of people say withdrawal process is 1 business day or 2. Why am I getting very slow withdrawal process.
