How to Withdraw Fiverr Earnings in Nepal (Step by Step)
You've completed your first Fiverr orders, and the money is in your account. Here's how to move it from Fiverr into your Nepali bank account, step by step.
Screens and options change. Fiverr and Payoneer update their apps and withdrawal options from time to time. If something looks different, check Fiverr's help center and your Earnings page for the methods available to you.
Before you start
You'll need:
- to be at least 18 years old, which Fiverr requires before you can withdraw
- a Payoneer account in your own name (see our Payoneer guide for Nepal)
- a Nepali bank account in exactly the same name
- cleared earnings on Fiverr: money becomes available 14 days after an order is completed, or 7 days for Top Rated sellers
How the money moves
- A buyer pays Fiverr when they order your gig.
- You deliver, and the order is completed.
- Fiverr keeps its 20% fee, and your earnings wait out the clearance period.
- You withdraw to Payoneer.
- You withdraw from Payoneer to your Nepali bank account, in rupees.
Step 1: Open and verify your Payoneer account
If you don't have one yet, open a Payoneer account and complete the verification. Use your name exactly as it appears on your citizenship certificate or passport, and add your Nepali bank account. Do this early, because approval can take time.
Step 2: Connect Payoneer to Fiverr
- In Fiverr, go to Earnings.
- Choose Payoneer as your withdrawal method and follow the steps to connect your Payoneer account.
- Log in to Payoneer when asked, and confirm the connection.
Fiverr lets you have one active Payoneer-based method at a time: the Payoneer account itself, a bank transfer powered by Payoneer, or the Fiverr Revenue Card where it's available. If you switch methods later, the previous one is replaced.
Step 3: Withdraw from Fiverr
- On the Earnings page, check your available balance.
- Choose the Payoneer withdrawal option and enter the amount.
- Confirm the withdrawal. Fiverr may ask you to verify it by email or with a code.
Fiverr shows any withdrawal fee before you confirm. Withdrawals to a Payoneer account usually arrive quickly, but they can take longer the first time.
Step 4: Withdraw from Payoneer to your Nepali bank
- Log in to Payoneer and open Withdraw.
- Choose To bank account and select your Nepali bank account.
- Enter the amount and check the exchange rate and fees shown.
- Confirm. The money usually reaches your bank in rupees within a few business days.
What it costs
There are three layers of cost:
- Fiverr's 20% fee on each order, already taken from your earnings
- A withdrawal fee for moving money out of Fiverr, which depends on the method
- Payoneer's currency conversion and withdrawal costs when you move money to your bank
To see the total, open the fee calculator, enter your order price, add the withdrawal and conversion fees, and choose NPR with today's exchange rate. The Fiverr fee calculator gives you the numbers for Fiverr specifically.
Tip: withdraw less often, in larger amounts. Flat fees hurt most on small withdrawals.
How long it takes
| Step | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Order completed until earnings clear | 14 days (7 for Top Rated sellers) |
| Fiverr to Payoneer | Usually quick, sometimes longer the first time |
| Payoneer to your Nepali bank | Usually a few business days |
Common problems
- The Payoneer option isn't showing: check that your Fiverr account is verified and that you're 18 or older, then look again on the Earnings page.
- Payoneer account still under review: wait for approval, and answer any document requests quickly. Don't open a second account.
- A newly added method can't be used yet: platforms sometimes put a short security hold on new payout methods. Wait and try again.
- Name mismatch: your name on Fiverr, Payoneer and your bank must match. Contact support to fix it before you withdraw.
- Bank asks about the payment: show your Fiverr earnings statement and Payoneer transaction history.
Can you withdraw without Payoneer?
Fiverr's other methods depend on your country. PayPal doesn't work for receiving money in Nepal (see is PayPal available in Nepal?), and Fiverr's bank transfer option is powered by Payoneer. For most Nepali sellers, Payoneer is the practical route.
