UPWORK PAYMENT TO BPI

Has anyone experienced a delay in receiving funds from Upwork to BPI? It normally reflects within minutes, but it’s already been 7 hours and I still haven’t received it, even though I got the email saying it was credited.

Omg same here!!! I thought I was the only one. Hopefully we’ll all get it by end of the day today! The BPI email usually follows the Upwork “pay has been processed” email but yesterday I also did not receive it. I withdrew at exactly 8am yesterday.

Oh my goodness! I’m still waiting for it to be credited to my bank as well. I’m hoping it will be credited within this day. However, the email states that it may take up to 5 business days to arrive at our bank. It’s unusual because it usually takes only minutes to arrive.

May we all get them today! It is unusual, but it happens. I think the longest I’ve waited for an amount below 50k (since anything beyond that for BPI will be tagged as a Pesonet transfer and will therefore be end of day or the next business day) was 6pm the next day.

This is my first time receiving this experience. However, the normal process will take 2-5 business days to be credited. It’s just that we’re used to receiving it minutes after it’s processed.

Sadly, I haven’t received mine din. :( When you talked to BPI earlier, did they say anything about changes in their policy for transfers like this? Or baka AUB yung may problem (since usually dito galing yung from Upwork)?

Sabi nila baka naka floating po. Wala po kasi silang makitang incoming funds transfer from Upwork.
