No. Upwork still charges its $2.99 Direct to U.S. Bank withdrawal fee, including on transfers to your Elevate Pay account. The Elevate Pay reward offsets one of those fees per month by crediting $2.99 directly to your account. It appears in your transaction history as "Upwork Reward" for example "Upwork Reward - September 2026."
