Hi Zaki,
If your payment method is inactive, it can be because of one or both of the following reasons:
It was added in the last three days: For security reasons, any new payment method will become active in three days.
You need to provide your tax information: In order to access their funds, all freelancers who are U.S persons should file a Form W-9 with Upwork. You sign electronically by submitting the form.
If you’re not a U.S.taxpayer you’ll need to file a Form W-8BEN instead. The Form W-8BEN is a form used to confirm you’re not a U.S. taxpayer and that Upwork is not required to withhold taxes from your earnings. Tip: You can use your own legal name as it appears in your passport or other official documents.

Hi Azeem,
I took a closer look at your account and I can see that you still need to complete your ID Verification for you to have full access/control over your account. Several support tickets have been set up with your concern that you can access on this page. We highly suggest you coordinate with the team through a single ticket so that they could assist you accordingly.
A gentle reminder, please avoid creating several tickets or posts for the same concern so that the team could assist you more efficiently. We seek your patience and utmost understanding while sorting this out for you. Thank you!

Hello UpWork fam!
I received my first payment and I wanted to withdraw it. However my payment method (Direct to local bank) is still inactive. Even though I have updated my tax information and its been more than 3 days since I updated my payment details. My ID is verified and I am still trying to figure out what could be the problem. Looking forward for some assistance.
Kind Regards,

Hello UPC!
I'm facing the same issue first-time freelancers on Upwork encounter when trying to update their bank information after receiving funds for a completed project. I thought my bank information was updated because I filled out the W9, completed the ID verification, and any additional information Upwork needed.
I updated my business bank account information on May 3rd or 4th, but it's been over a week, and my new payment method is still inactive. I've already checked for any additional email verification I missed from Upwork, but I couldn't find anything. Unfortunately, the response bot wasn't helpful either. What upsets me the most, I missed the pay period because of some issue that's out of my hand.
I'm not sure how long it takes to activate a new payment method on Upwork, and I would appreciate any information or assistance you can provide.
Thank you!
