    1. Great Post. Thank you. Unfortunately, I didn’t see this post and I’m a first time geegosy user. I just withdrew from my Upwork account to geegpay. I haven’t seen the money reflect in my geegpay account yet. How long does it take to reflect?

      Please I really need help.

    2. What an amazing and useful piece. But what is my routing number and where it is located? Also, where can I find my account number?

      1. Thank you for reading and commenting Oluseyi, your routing number is a unique, nine-digit number that functions as an address for your bank, you can locate it in your Geegpay account. Log in to your Geegpay account navigate to Accounts and you will be able to find your routing number.

      1. Thanks for reading! I have not really tried it sha, I have some dollars which will be available on Upwork tommorrow, I will let you know if it is possible.

          1. Hi Esther, Thanks for waiting, after setting everyting up and adding my UBA dollar account to Geegpay. After Clicking send, I got an error message that:

            transfer to usd not available at this time

            I am not sure if this feature would be available anythime soon! What do you think?

    3. @ Esther… Since you have a UBA DORM ACCT, you can receive directly as long as the name in your account tallies with the name on your upwork account. Your bank swift code can be gotten online. Just google UBA SWIFT CODE.

    4. Good day, nice post. I have a lot of questions but I’ll start with this; do I need a domiciliary account to work with Geegpay? Thanks.

    5. Good day, nice post. I have a lot of questions but I’ll start with this; what kind of account can I use for GeePay, 1- Savings account, 2- Domiciliary account ? Thanks.

      1. You can use both accounts but when I try using a Domiciliary account on Geegpay recently, I got an error message that the service is currently unavailable. Thanks for reading.

    6. Thanks for replying me. For the next question, how do I pay for connects on Upwork because I tried adding a payment method (which is my savings account) but my Upwork account was suspended instead? Thanks again.👍🏾

    7. Thanks for this timely post. My question is, can I withdraw from Geegpay to my savings and domiciliary accounts on GTB?
      2. Can I link my Geegpay card to a US PayPal account?

    8. 1. Yes you can withdraw from Geegpay to your savings, but for domiciliary accounts when I tried withdrawing in dollars, I got an error message that the service is not yet available on Geegpay, you can give it a try if it’s open now.

      2. Yes, you can but I think you need to have at least 1 dollar on it because they might want to charge the card and refund the money. This is just to confirm it is a valid card

    9. Good day sir, I have registered on geegpay but when I tried to “take a selfie” it doesn’t show my pic. I have tried it numerous times but it doesn’t work and it is the final stage of the registration process. Please help me out
      Thanks!

      1. Hi Richard, this could be happening due to error from thier end, I will urge you to reach out to their customer support team via their email.
