@kernowlass In my case i was able to link local bank account and its in USD, there is no local currency in this case. To clarify money, money transfered from upwork to paypal in USD , then withdrwan to my linked USD account. May be earlier there was no link to Such accounts, and i recall even in paypal US you should be linking to USD account in US, and other paypal accounts like you said it should be Card ( as in my case with HSBC in dubai , Debit card for USD account where i linked my card to paypal and was getting money in USD to my local account in Dubai ) Now thats another local bank ( by the way hsbc here conisedered local and separate from HSBC US ) . That is ADIB Bank , i was earlier transfering to ny AED account, then opened USD account and linked it to paypal. Transaction completed already. The part where you stated i have to withdraw in local currency, that applies if i used my card to withdraw money from ATM but not if i withdraw from the teller from my USD account where i can withdraw in dollars. ...

@kernowlass    Thanks for your message and advise. In Fact You can link to accounts other than U.S as long as PayPal is opened at that country as in Dubai, the PayPal account in not the same one, you can Have your PayPal Account in U.S It's not same Account in Dubai. Both have different regulations, but I do get your point because I know what you say applied to U.S.   Second Point Regarding Linking Accounts, I got your point and know what you are talking about But my account is not Virtual Account, it's Bank Account in Dubai, in Fact I have one in AED that I manage to transfer to it using PayPal, then opened another Account in Dollars, when I tried to transfer to that one, using Normal IBAN And Account Number after successful linking it. Transaction was completed from PayPal side but the Funds didn't go to it. Papal still not providing SWIFT COPY The Bank is asking for as a prove of Transfer,  Moreover to confirm that's not something strange I once had another Account with HSBC in Dollar and managed to transfer Funds in dollars to it ( only difference I linked the Debit Visa Card which was in Dollars not the Account Directly, This time the Bank is not giving you Visa Card, just allows you to transfer to it or even withdraw Dollars, like any USD Dollars, only difference it has no Visa Card ) But PayPal allows linking to Local Accounts in Dubai now.   What is worse regarding customer service I can't even reach a Manager or Team lead to talk to to Clarify all that and tell them that the Bank just accept SWIFT Copy, though I believe they should be getting that by now. ...

Hello, I am having similar problem and transfer isn't credited to my account, I don't know what is the problem of sharing the SWIFT Copy instead of the usual answer we are getting which is "we will submit trance" then you respond with "The Bank replied it's credited with a ( Reference ) that it's credited" , and it's not. The Swift Copy is the only prove that the money is credited and let the Bank Trace it. In Fact the Bank is asking for That. I see it's repeated thing, so is PayPal not caring about their customers by not providing just simple thing as SWIFT Copy when requested by the Bank in UAE like any other Bank. When you guys requested a statement from Bank I provided it directly and didn't say, the Bank isn't provide statements or provided you with something else !!! Please resolve this issue if you want to keep your customers.  ... View more
