Hi Shaikh,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I have checked your account and it looks like the ID you've submitted has been reviewed and approved. However, for record-keeping purposes, Upwork requires a Form W-8BEN for all non-U.S. taxpayers paid on Upwork. You will only need to provide your legal name and address on the W-8BEN form, and once you have filed it, the system will activate your eligibility to access funds immediately.

You can submit your Form W-8BEN by going to Settings > Tax Information. Click the pencil icon next to W-8BEN, fill in your information and Save, that's it! I hope this clarifies.

Hi Upwork Community, I'm a freelancer and I've recently finished my first job and waited for the payment to be active. But when I added my bank information, it says it's innactive, I've waited the 3 days for it to be activated, but it still says innactive. I also added a Paypal account and that worked. I have also filled all the forms to be able to withdrawl money. I've checked it and all the information is correct. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm from Spain, Barcelona.

I completed the verification process and it said It will take 3 days to become active and now when I checked after 3 days its saying payment method inactive.

Kindly Help me resolve this issue. I really need the funds to pay my college fee.

Hello 
I want to verify my bank account and its been about a month and its until now inactive , can you tell whats the problem ?

[andregutierrez22]

Hi Mariam,

For record-keeping purposes, Upwork requires a Form W-8BEN for all non-U.S. taxpayers paid on Upwork. Once you file your Form W-8BEN, the system will activate your eligibility to access funds immediately.

[khatib_mary]

ok thanks alot for your respond ! but its been two weeks and more how many days do you want to activate my account ?

[andregutierrez22]

Mariam, you'll need to fill out the Form W-8BEN in Settings > Tax Information in order for your payment method to become active. It will become active immediately after you do this, no need to wait any days.

Hi Muhammad,

I checked this for you and found that this account is already active. You can withdraw funds to that account moving forward.

Hi,

I added my bank account details to preferred Payment Method (Direct to Local Bank) quite a time ago. Per Upwork policy, it should've activated after three days of submission but still it shows as inactive (screenshot attached). I double-checked all the details again and submitted, still it is showing as Inactive.

I've also completed the W-8BEN form.

Please help me activate my payment method.
