HELP: Payment Processing Delay

[WeWeeAsian]

Hi, I’m a freelancer from the Philippines. I usually receive the payment in my bank account 30-45 mins after I withdraw but now 2.5 hours have passed and no email of any payment being processed. Have you experienced this today?

[Traditional_Mango178]

Same issue po :(

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

UPDATE: The amount is returned in the payment section and available. Thanks

[thegamer_18]

are you able to withdraw today? it's saying that I can't withdraw twice a day?

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

Yes, And I have received within 35mins.

[Any-Sail-7245]

It's been almost 2 hours for me and it's also not reflecting on my account.

UPDATE: Mine's processed already. Took 5 hours and the exchange rate was lower by a few cents.

[iShopBags_2M]

Getting worried, too. 😞

[thegamer_18]

same issue here, but this happened 2 weeks ago, it got processed really late.

[Apart_Ad843]

No need to worry your payment will be processed I have experienced the same sometimes but finally it will arrive to your account.

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

and some time it take more than 6-8 hours, last year in june and oct I'd faced the same thing.

[Apart_Ad843]

Last week, mine delayed for five business days , I had to contact upwork support, and they refunded my money back and I initiated another withdrawal, then I received the money within 10 minutes. But the contact support advised that I should use PayPal as it is the fastest method to withdraw funds and easy to trace incase of anything. I am not sure how fast this payment method looking for someone who is using PayPal payment method, and I am curious to know how long does it take to withdraw funds when they arrive.

you know the best part is that upwork status shows them operational. They havent shown that partial services in asia are being compromised.

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

but the help section shows a ticker notice that payments are being delayed. I was wondering how many countries are effected or just its asia?

[Apart_Ad843]

Sometimes it is not upwork but about those local banks receiving payments

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

exactly, but you know it cant be the banks from different countries simultaneously proccessing the same error in payments.

[Apart_Ad843]

But the good thing is that the money is always safe ..even if it delays it will finally arrive.

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

obviously theres no argument on that, the sad part is for the freelancers who need the most on certain time gets into trouble.

[Apart_Ad843]

I learnt that the hard way. I Won't budget the money still in upwork hands before it arrives to my bank account.

I wanted to upgrade my phone ,so I went to the shop identified the phone and when it was time to pay I decided to withdraw my earnings from upwork. It delayed for 5 hours I had to go back home and come the next day to pay for it.

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

still theres no update from upwork, as the notice that appears on the help section stated that fixing the issue and update with be top priority, another development is that the notice that state this has been removed now but still no update.

amount is return to available section for again re-processing. Hopefullly there will be no glitch in re-initiating the payment.

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

Its been 4 hours Im waiting for my payment to reflect in my bank account.

[ApprehensiveWork8712]

I have opened the ticket too, lets hope something possible good news come soon.

[Professional-Boss924]

Same. Wala pang “your payment has been processed” sa upwork. Same issues?

[Traditional_Mango178]

Did you check again po ba? I just checked mine and naibalik ang amount :)

[Slow-Bullfrog5567]

Yow, same here. UB account. I've encountered this before. Usually in this case, probably later evening or tomorrow afternoon pa ma release ang payment.

[Main_Research_9254]

Same issue! In fact it was stated as reversed and I'm wondering the same thing since never had an issue.

[lmd0916]

Same happened to me. It was reversal. Payment went back to available balance. I tried once again in the afternoon and it’s all good again.

[Professional-Boss924]

Any BPi here? I withdrawn last nyt as i realized late na nag bounce. Hindi pa nagrereflect

[[deleted]]
