Before linking an account, make sure that your account is verified and tax information is added. Freelancer's personal data is a mandatory requirement for transfers to an Uruguayan bank account.

  • To check the verification status or start account verification, go to Profile page by clicking to your name in the Menu.

  • To enter tax information use the instructions below.

Linking a national currency account

To link an Uruguayan bank account, go to Finances, select Payment methods, and click Bank account.

Important! The freelancer's name, taxpayer ID, and residential address must match those of the account's beneficiary. The bank account must be denominated in the national currency. Bank Accounts in other currencies cannot be used for payments.

An SMS with a confirmation code will be sent to your phone. After you enter the code, select your bank and provide the bank account details:

  • Choose your bank in the Bank drop-down menu. The list of supported banks see in the table below.

  • If your bank is Banco Santander, enter your Bank Branch code.

  • Select the Account Type: Checking or Savings

  • Fill in the Bank account number.

  • Click the check box to agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.

  • Save your account details by clicking Link.

Depending on the freelancer’s tax status, transfers to an Uruguayan bank account can be a subject to tax withholding. That means making payments to an Uruguayan bank account requires tax information.
