When I first started earning on Upwork, I was naive and was just happy to finally start earning on Upwork, so I was simply withdrawing via the direct-to-naira bank option. When I became wiser and got aware of something called black market rate, I almost cried when I later discovered how much I had been losing by withdrawing in Naira.
So, I then decided to get a Docimicilary account and was using wire transfer (it was 30 USD per transfer then) and also Payoneer to withdraw.
At some point, I got tired of Payoneer fees, and Upwork also decided to upgrade the wire transfer fee to $50 USD. That literally meant I need to find a better solution so I don’t lose ridiculous money on fees and charges.
And that’s how I got involved with payment platforms. In this article, I discuss 7 of the most popular payment platforms (with Payoneer being the 8th), and I also ranked and scored them from best to worst.
If you are earning or planning to earn on Upwork, you can’t afford not to read this.

hmm. it will be weird for Nigerian freelancers today to still fall into Payoneer with all the options available
