You will get in IDR only if you use locan bank transfer. 

You can check alternative options like Wise if you need to get that in USD.

Wire transfer can also be used, if your bank allows to hold the funds in USD. But it costs more in transfer fees.

Upwork database may not have your bank's IFSC code.

 

First ensure you have the correct IFSC code.

If Upwork still does not recognize the IFSC code, you can add the bank information manually  by selecting the "enter branch address manually" option.

Hello,

 

I am from India, and I am currently unable to add my INR bank account. I tried 4-5 bank IFSC codes, but they are not being accepted. I keep seeing this error: "Bank not found. Please check the IFSC code."

 

I have verified the IFSC codes with the bank manager, and they are correct. These codes work on other platforms like Google AdSense, but they are not being accepted on Upwork. I don't know why this is happening.

 

Please tell me how I can add my Indian bank account to accept payments in INR.

 

Thanks.

Upwork isn't recognising any sort code I put in as my withdrawal method. It's saying 'Bank not found' even though I have double checked and all details are correct. I'm unable to withdraw my money and I don't know how to fix it- have tried with multiple different banks (UK). Support instant chat has not been helpful either
