Hi Sumit,

If you have money in your Freelancer.com account, you can withdraw it using any of the methods available.

- PayPal
- Wire Transfer
- Moneybookers
- Freelancer.com Payoneer Debit Cards (can be used anywhere where MasterCard© is accepted online, at any ATM and in stores)

Hi shey !
Can you elaborate it !

Hi everyone

Withdrawing funds from your freelancer.com account is very simple. As a freelancer once you have earned money from completing a project your freelancer.com balance will increase.

You can withdraw the funds by following these steps:

Login to your Freelancer.com account.
Select "Withdraw Funds" from the "Payments" menu
Choose the most suitable method of withdrawal (some are not available in some countries).
Fill out the details of the withdrawal which will be specific to the chosen method.
Check the details and submit the withdrawal request.

As Shey mentioned the methods of withdrawal include:

- PayPal
- Wire Transfer
- Moneybookers
- Freelancer.com Payoneer Debit Cards (can be used anywhere where MasterCard© is accepted online, at any ATM and in stores)

Hope this helps

You'll receive the notification of the submitted request by email.

Please note that the minimum withdrawal is $30 and that the very first withdrawal is delayed for 15 days for security reasons.

I don't think freelancer has that option in withdrawal section

...you can only withdraw your funds using a moneybookers, paypal, debit card and wire transfer..back to year 2005 or 06 they used to use western union to transfer funds and I don't know why they remove it to the withdrawal system..

Users will be able to withdraw the currencies displayed in their balances only.

Example, if a user had USD and AUD balances, he/she would need to transfer the funds separately.

If a user had US dollars, they would need to withdraw the USD as US dollars.

If a user had Australian dollars, they would need to withdraw the AUD as AU dollars.

Here is a list of supported local currencies:
USD
CAD
AUD
EUR
GBP
HKD
NZD
PHP
SGD

At this stage, Freelancer.com offers no foreign exchange service so users will need to use other services to convert currencies.

In this example, users will then choose any method such as PayPal, Wire Transfer, Moneybookers or Freelancer.com Payoneer Debit Cards to convert the currencies to INR or any currencies if they wish. Users would need to check which among these methods offer conversions to INR. This way, users are able to withdraw funds to local bank accounts.

We no longer have western union as an option.

Hope it helps.

You can use Moneybookers. It's pretty much easy to verify a PH account through them. I believe it's not difficult to verify a PH account on PayPal now as well.

Hi. I read somewhere in the freelancer.com FAQs that the only time a person is allowed to use their debit card to withdraw money is when you are closing the account.

Does this mean that even if I have my debit card, I shouldn't use it for routine withdrawals?

Could it mean that if I use the card to withdraw money from my freelancer account, it will mean that I intend to close down my account? It really confuses me and I need clarification.

It would be very convenient to withdraw my money at an ATM because my bank charges me up to 15% of the money I wire from my moneybookers account.

This is not the [Freelancer.com] Debit Card you're talking about right?
Regardless, this totally is wrong information. Which part of FAQ did you read this?

There is no need to close an account just to be able to withdraw the funds available in it. I strongly suggest you contact Freelancer support so they can give you proper advise based on your account information on which option is best for you.

Can we withdraw money via bank checks.

**alfonsolanka** · 11-13-2011, 07:03 AM

I think all possibilities are already mentioned (PayPal, Moneybookers, Payoneer Debit Card, Wire transfer).
I can only add that PayPal is sometimes not possible in countries like India (and Sri Lanka) to receive money (only send).
My own experience: I usually accumulate money from different translation sources (like Freelancer.com) into my Moneybookers account. From Moneybookers it's very cheap to withdraw to your bank account (by wire transfer).
Alternatively, if you travel regularly, the Payoneer Debit Card is a dream. I've been using it without problems in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Cambodia. Never had any problems with it withdrawing from ATMs. But in India it did not work most of the time to pay in shops (probably because it's not an Indian card).
Hope this helps.

alfonso

Hi, i recently got paid at freelancer and i want to get a portion of it. I used moneybookers wire transfer method and they want me to make a deposit to a bank and i get this response that says: "A pending payment to moneybookers@freelancer.com has been created on your account. All you need to do now is send 31.01 USD to the following bank account:"

why do i have to send money when i just made a request that i transfer 31 dollars to moneybookers?

how can i make this wire transfer? through western union?

**GeniusAli786** · 02-23-2012, 01:40 PM

I just signed up here to get some help.
i have a account in moneybookers.com and i recently i made a withdrawal of rs 22000 and i got charged fees more then rs 3500 ?
i withdrawn this amount in my vijaya bank account.

Please tell me how to get rid of such huge fees?
thanks in advance.
Please leave your message on my gmail id (ali68867@gmail.com)

**Ariblue** · 02-24-2012, 09:55 AM

gloriamae
you have to use the "withdraw Funds" option to get your hard earned money. I think you used the deposit option.

GeniusAli786
I think that 3500 was cut by our country. Maybe there is some specific rule for international wire transfer.

Moneybookers only cuts 2.42$ for wire transfer and our banks cut the rest of it. I will give you a clear answer in 2-3 days when I get my first payment.

GeniusAli786
I got my money and only 98 Rupee were taken as fees from my Bank (MCB).

I guess your bank is the culprit

Hope this post is helpful to you.

Correct

The Payoneer card can be used online, in stores and at ATMs worldwide where MasterCard is accepted. For Freelancer.com, you may also choose to get paid via Payoneer's local bank transfer service, which allows you to receive your payment directly to your bank account in over 210 countries.

I am a member of Freelancer.com for 1 and a half year. Earned 10K+ USD so far (and 160 reviews).

Last week, I tried to apply a Payoneer Master Debit card. After more than a week, my application was denied without any reason. They did not even ask for verification (for example scan of passport or anything like that).

Is this right? We (Vietnamese) are not being supported by Payoneer? How can I apply for a card?

Payoneer does support applicants from Vietnam. If the account application has not yet been processed, we may simply require further details.

Please e-mail me at nissimal@payoneer.com and I will look in to this right away.
