If you’re interested in learning how to withdraw money from Fiverr, then this guide will show you how to do just that.
A Fiverr seller recently emailed me saying: ‘how can I easily withdraw my funds from Fiverr.’ I provided answers to her via email and then decided to help other sellers interested in making withdrawals from Fiverr but don’t know how to go about it.
There’s this ecstatic feeling that comes with withdrawing your first earnings. It gives you that believe, confidence and hope for a better future in Freelancing.
After your first withdrawal, the zeal to work extra-hard and make more money on Fiverr becomes even stronger.
Before going on with this guide, you need to know if you are actually qualified to withdraw from Fiverr.

When does Fiverr payout?
After the completion of your job, there’s a compulsory wait period. This is a measure to avoid or resolve any form of dispute that may likely arise between buyers and sellers.
The wait periods are:
Top Sellers: 7 days
Every other level below top-seller: 14 days
Now, I’m certain you’re not a top-seller. If you were, then by now you must have withdrawn over $500,000 from Fiverr.
Withdrawal methods
Fiverr allows up to Four different withdrawal methods, which includes:
Fiverr revenue card: Using this method attracts a static fee of $1 irrespective of your withdrawal amount, and funds will be received within 2 working days. If you’re interested in receiving your funds within 2 hours, you have the option to choose that during withdrawal; but this time, it will attract a fee of $3 irrespective of your withdrawal amount. The minimum withdrawal amount using the Fiverr revenue card is set at $5. If you have a Payoneer account, then your Payoneer debit card serves as your Fiverr revenue card.
PayPal: You’ll be charged a fee of 2% from the withdrawal amount up to $1. The minimum withdrawal amount using this method is set at $1.
Bank transfer: Attracts a fee of 3$ irrespective of your withdrawal amount. The minimum amount you can withdraw using this method is $20.
Direct bank deposit: This method is only available to Fiverr customers who own American bank accounts; which can be gotten from Payoneer whether you stay in the US or not. It is the best and most recommended method of withdrawal for people living in countries not supported by PayPal. Using a Direct bank deposit attracts a fee of just $1 irrespective of your withdrawal amount; the minimum withdrawal amount for this method is set at $10.
Those are the four methods you can use to withdraw from Fiverr. Among them, my most recommended method of withdrawal is “Direct Bank Deposit”. It can be done using a Payoneer bank account.
Another good thing about using Payoneer is that you get to enjoy a bonus of $25 for the first $1000 deposited into your bank account.
How to withdraw money from Fiverr using Payoneer
Method 1. Using Payoneer Direct Bank Deposit
If you don’t have a Payoneer account, then you need to create one before continuing with your withdrawal using direct bank deposit. If you already have a Payoneer account, then you can skip to step 2.
Step 1. Create a Payoneer account
Creating a Payoneer account is very easy. All you have to do is visit Payoneer using this link. You will be required to enter a lot of information – that shouldn’t be a problem. If you get stuck along the way, you can follow my Payoneer account creation guide to put you through.
Step 2. Login to your Fiverr account and then click on Selling>>Earnings
Step 3. Select Bank Transfer as your preferred withdrawal method
Step 4. Verify your phone number
Since adding a withdrawal method is a very sensitive process, it’ll be required of you to enter a verification code. The verification code will be sent to the phone number with which you verified your Fiverr account. Enter your verification code and click on Submit Code.
Step 5: Click on the link found in Confirmation Email
Fiverr will send you an email asking you to confirm your account linking. Click on the link to get started with the account linking process. It is advisable to use the same browser where you’re logged in to your Payoneer account.
Step 6: Login to Payoneer and confirm Fiverr linking
The link in the email will redirect you to the Payoneer website. Log in to your Payoneer account and confirm that you really want to link your Fiverr account with your Payoneer account.
After your account is linked, you will get a confirmation email from Payoneer telling you Fiverr has been added as your payment source.
Once linked, you can head back to the selling>>earnings page on Fiverr. You can then withdraw your money using the bank transfer method.
Method 2. Using the Fiverr revenue card
What is the Fiverr revenue card? it’s like your regular debit card that can be used on any ATM service point worldwide. Like I said earlier, Payoneer and Fiverr are partners, so the Payoneer card serves as your Fiverr revenue card.
After creating a Payoneer account, it may take a few days before the card is processed.
The Payoneer is free; however, it is required that you have a minimum of $30 before your card is processed. Your Payoneer debit card can serve so many purposes, including as your Fiverr revenue card.
Note: You cannot link your Fiverr account with Payoneer using both method 1 and method 2; it’s either one or the other. Therefore, if you prefer to use your Payoneer card, follow the guide below.
Step 1: Under selling>>earning, click on Fiverr revenue card
A popup will appear asking you to check your email for further instructions on adding your Payoneer card, which serves as the Fiverr Revenue Card.
Step 2. Clink Email link to confirm Fiverr and Payoneer card linking
Clicking this link will redirect you to the Payoneer website where you’ll need to login in order to complete the linking process.
Step 3. Confirm Fiverr account linking in Payoneer website
If you already have a Payoneer Prepaid card, then to the right of the page, click on the link you are provided with to connect it to your Fiverr account.
You should also get a confirmation message telling you your Payoneer card was successfully linked with Fiverr.
After account linking, you can always visit Fiverr and under Selling>>Earnings, click on the Fiverr Revenue card as your preferred withdrawal method.
Thank you so much for this article.
It’s very helpful.
I have a question about the email that will be sent after the verifying with phone number
The link that was sent to my gmail (“click here”) to continue with the process isn’t taking me to payoneer after I clicked it.
It was taking me back to my fiverr seller dashboard.
Hi! I’m new of fiverr and i’m looking to link my payerneer to my fiverr account but it says that I must be at least 18 years of age to have an account on payoneer. Is it safe to imput a wrong Date of birth?
HI Onaolapo, I wouldn’t say it’s safe to put a wrong date of birth, as you will be asked to verify your account with your ID card in the future. Sorry about that.
Please my problem now is this; I can’t get the verification code to access the email that fiver will send to me because I used my Nigerian number (which doesn’t receive messages from fiverr from inception).
Is there a way you can suggest that I get a number that can receive verification messages from fiverr so I can change the existing one. This is my own problem with the withdrawal thing.
Hi, I just recently got blocked by payoneer for reasons I don’t know. They have refused to tell me the reason for the ban, and have refused to unlink the blocked Payonner account from my Fiverr account. I was using the Fiverr Revenue Card option all this while, but as this happened, someone told me I could use the direct bank transfer option, but when i tried, it’s not going through, obviously because Payoneer blacklisted me. Paypal doesn’t work in NIgeria. Any advise?
Hi Dandy, I advise you reach out to Payoneer support; write them a ticket and have them resolve your issue. If you really didn’t infringe, then, your account will be unblocked. Sorry for your ordeal. I really hope it will be resolved as soon as possible. By the way, Payoneer is the only option I know of for Nigerians to receive money from Fiverr.
Hello. Please is it true that I have to have nothing less than $200 in my Fiverr account available for withdrawal before I can withdraw via Payoneer for the first time??
Hi, that is not correct. If you’ve passed your compulsory wait time of 14 days, you can withdraw a minimum of $5 using Payoneer Mastercard or $10 using your American bank account number from Payoneer.
Hello. How long does it take Fiverr to move my earnings to my Payoneer account via the direct bank deposit method? Because I’ve successfully linked my Fiverr account with my Payoneer but my Payoneer account is still having $0.
I am quite confused.
Right now, I don’t have fiverr mastercard, and I am planning to simply transfer funds to other exchangers then they transfer the agreed rate to me in naira account.
Which option will i select under fiverr earning, hope I won’t have any problems due to not having any fiverr card, and I am not even planning to get any fiverr card since once fund is on payoneer from fiverr, I will simply transfer to reliable and trustworthy exchangers.
Hi Bee Ade, I’ve never made use of the services of exchangers, so I can’t recommend anyone right now. You could get your Fiverr Revenue Card from Payoneer within a matter of days. All you have to do is register with Payoneer for free and receive a minimum of 30 dollars into your account. Afterwards, you can request for the Mastercard free of charge.
Once linked you can head back to the selling>>earnings page on Fiverr, select the linked option, enter the amount you wish to withdraw and complete your withdrawal.
Hi Presley, I believe it’s possible to send money from your Payoneer account to a Western Union account. This question was previously asked in the Payoneer community and someone claims to have done it. Personally, I have never tried sending my Payoneer funds to Western Union.
Hi, I recently linked my payoneer account to my fiverr account following the direct deposit process and i got an email from payoneer saying it has been linked successfully to my fiverr account almost immediately.
At the end of the process fiverr said i would get an email from them if the review is successful but i am yet to receive it 2 days after, I did this on friday . I tried withdrawing with the direct deposit and its taking me to that whole same process of adding a payoneer account.
Please how long does it take fiverr to send this email that your account has been linked successfully and you can make withdrawals. Anticipating your response, Thanks.
Hi Libero, I cannot really state the specific duration of time you have to wait for your linking to get approved. Since linking a payment option is a very sensitive operation, Fiverr manually reviews all payment methods added on the site and your wait period depends on how many customers they need to attend to at that particular point in time. In my own case I only had to wait a couple of hours before my Fiverr account was linked with Payoneer. If you wait one more day and it’s not linked, then send a message to support.
Hi NLT, sorry for the very late response, I somehow missed your message. Unfortunately I can’t withdraw for someone. I only use the allowed one Payoneer account, and it is already linked to my Fiverr account. Try creating a Payoneer account yourself. It only takes a few minutes.
Linking a withdrawal option does not usually require that you provide answers to your security questions; so you can withdraw from Fiverr without remembering it. Situations may arise in future, though, when it will be required of you to provide answers to your security questions.
Hi, how long does it take fiverr to send an email that your direct deposit payoneer method is successful, I am still waiting for an email from them, I only got a successful email from payoneer, I cnt withdraw at the moment because its taking me to register again.
Money deposited directly into your Payoneer account still needs to be transferred to your local bank or your revenue card. However, funds in your revenue card is accessible and can be used to make withdrawals or purchases.
You can transfer funds from one Payoneer account using the ‘make a payment’ section provided your account is eligible and open for that services.
If you’re unable to do that, you may be required to contact support for that to be enabled.
No, you can’t withdraw for another person with a payment account that’s already linked to your Fiverr account. If you do that, Fiverr will notice the irregularities and might limit your account.
I love this article, it is really helpful but a little question to be answer. Can i link that same payoneer with another fiverr account
Thank you so much for this article.

The general wait time for Fiverr withdrawal is 2 working day.
Please how can I change from direct deposit to fiverr card revenue.
You may have to contact Fiverr customer care to get that done
How can I withdraw form PayPal account cos I only have a PayPal account.
You can withdraw using PayPal, that’s if you’re not from Nigeria. Because PayPal in Nigeria doesn’t support funds reception.
Helpful. thanks

How can I transfer earned cash from fiverr to western union account
Fiverr doesn’t support transfer to Western Union account. The best way to withdraw to your local bank account is to first transfer to Payoneer.

Thank You,
Please may I know the difference between using the Payoneer Revenue Card and the Direct Bank Deposit?
Also If I use The Direct Deposit Option would I be able to transfer the funds from My Payoneer to another Payoneer without sending to my bank?

Can you help someone withdraw?
No, you can’t withdraw for another person with a payment account that’s already linked to your Fiverr account. If you do that, Fiverr will notice the irregularities and might limit your account.
No, I mean can YOU withdraw for someone? I need help withdrawing
