[anamarianic]

Hello. 

I have added a payment method several weeks ago and it did not activate until now. I want to know what is the problem.

Thank you!

[petra_r]

The most common reason is when people have not completed their tax info. (Settings - Tax Info)

You can't withdraw until you have done so.

Hi Luis,

In case you included correct bank details when setting up your withdrawal method and filled all the fields on your Tax form, it will become active after three days.

Hi Anirban,

Your payment method will become active after 3 days since you've added it. In your case, that should be tomorrow, on the 23rd. I'll check with the team to see why it's showing 22nd on your end.

Thank you.

Hi Alexander. I have recently started freelancing in upwork and added my bank account details several weeks back. However, I have not completed the tax form (Non US citizen). Can you please provide me with step by step guide of fillup up & submitting the form? Where should I submit it? I am a freelancer from Bangladesh. Thanks in advance.

[bstojadinovic]

Hi Sanjida,

If you don’t have a registered company, please provide your full legal name. You can enter it in that field as it appears in your passport or other official documents along with your personal address.

Please see this help article for more information.

Thank you!

Hi, Aleksandar

I registered as a freelancer and opened my agency, I provided my Tax information and ban card but still waiting for account confirmation. Should I have payment method on freelance profile so that upwork can confirm my tax and card, or it does nor matter, please help.

Thank you beforehand.

[djondinium]

Hi Ashot,

You don't have to add a payment method in order to verify your tax information. Let me know if you need further help.

Thank you.

[evasawebstudio]

Thank you. I have registered but have not received approval call or Id verification yet. it is already 3 days. should I wait a little more ? Or is something going wrong? I provided all the information, tax information, bank card, but still can not submit proposals, my profile has not been approved yet. I want to understand the reason. 

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Ashot,

Since you're an exclusive member of the agency you can only use the Connects of the agency pool and send proposals under the agency. Thank you.

[evasawebstudio]

Thank you, I try to submit proposals on agency but still it does not let. it gives me 2 variant to activate membership plus plan, but I am not able to find promo code to activate membership plus plan. How can I find promo code?

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Ashot,

At the moment we don't have any promo codes or discounts available. You can leave this field blank and proceed with upgrading to our Plus plan.

I would also like to confirm, that in order to send proposals as an agency you will need to be on our Plus plan. Thank you.

[evasawebstudio]

I wan to know is it Ok, that I have not received any approval for my account. I can provide all documentation needed. I have a legal company with all documentation. How can I attach documents in my profile? Or shall I attach after receiving confirmation of the account .

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Ashot,

Your account is approved and you can start sending proposals under your agency once you're ready. There's no need to add or attach any additional documents at the moment. Thank you.

[evasawebstudio]

Thank you.

I have just activated agency plus, but I can not submit proposals as it shows I hav not connects to be able to  submit. For buying connects itdemands promo code. How should I behave?I have connects on my freelance profile. How can I use them submitting proposals as an agency?

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Ashot,

Freelancer and agency profiles are different profiles and you will not be able to use them for sending proposals under your agency. You will need to purchase Connects under the agency profile in order to be able to start sending proposals. 

To learn more about how to manage your agency, check out our resources Here. Thank you.

[evasawebstudio]

Hi Goran

Thank yo for responding. In order to buy connects for agency, it demands to write promo code. How can I buy connects to start submitting proposals on my agency?

[djondinium]

Hi Ashot,

A Promo code is not required in order to purchase Connects. To buy Connects for your agency, you can go to the Settings > Membership & Connects page and click on the green 'Buy Connects' button. On the page after, select the amount from the dropdown and click on the 'Buy Connects' button.

Thank you.

Hi Aleksandar.

I would like to know some details concerning payments. If I have big project, am I eligible to ask for (for example 40%) advance from the client, the remaining part after completing the project?

[ibrahim282]

I added the Payobal payment method . My debit card is now marked as 'inactive' in the 'Get Paid' section. Is the status going to change automatically, or is there a problem with an account?

[tinker_bell3]

Hi Ibrahim,

For security reasons, any PayPal account added to your Upwork account will become active after three days. For more information, please check this help article. 

[deniswebking]

It takes 3 days to become active and you must have completed your tax info before you can withdraw.

[bstojadinovic]

Hi Denis,

Could you please complete the W-8BEN form under Settings> Tax Info, which purpose is to confirm you're not a US taxpayer? You can use your own legal name as it appears in your passport or other official documents. 

Let us know if the issue persists.

Thank you.
