Hi Gulnihal,
We’ve designed the process of Adding a Direct to Local Bank payment method to be as straightforward as possible. To add your bank account:
- Go to Settings › Get Paid
- Click Add Method
- Click the Set Up button for your chosen method
- Enter your bank account details, including bank codes
- Choose a payment schedule and click Next
Important things to know:
- For security reasons, your new payment method will become active in three days.
- Check that the name on your bank account matches your verified name on Upwork. If your payment method was flagged for a name mismatch, please contact support to resolve the issue or add a new payment method.
- You should also contact your bank if you're not sure you have the correct information, or if you received an error when you tried to enter it into our system.
- Upwork charges $0.99 per Direct to Local Bank withdrawal. Any additional restrictions, timing regulations, and fees vary depending on your bank.
- Be sure that you enter your bank information, including bank codes, correctly. We want you to get your money on schedule and any errors could result in a failed transfer or delay. If you've exceeded the character limit on the Name on Account field, please contact your bank to get an appropriate abbreviation.
- Since some banks aren’t in our database or have recently changed their information, your bank details may not be recognized. In that case, you can enter your bank information manually by selecting the "enter branch address manually" option. On the pop-up that appears click "enter it manually." Once clicked, a new form will appear to let you enter your bank details. You may want to re-confirm the bank code and other information on file with your bank before entering changes manually in order to avoid potential problems with withdrawals.
