Here is how this feature works:

From time to time, you may log into your MyUpah account and ask us to access some or all of your  Earnings. The bank account the funds you request to be transferred to is the one provided by you. We will also tell you how much of your Earnings we are willing to provide as per MYUpah Policy and terms and condition of service, and we will disclose our processing fee to you.

You may also change the linked bank account we have on file with you by updating your banking information on the MyUpah site. You may email us a request for assistance. Available earnings in any given pay cycle might also be adversely affected (or unavailable) if your employer has not settled its outstanding invoices from previous pay cycles with MyUpah.
