How to Withdraw from Fiverr to Naira Using Crossboda

If you are a Nigerian freelancer on Fiverr, you already know that earning in dollars is the easy part. The interesting question is always what happens after, specifically, how much of what you actually earned makes it to your Nigerian bank account intact.

Crossboda gives you a straightforward answer to that question.

Why Use Crossboda Instead of Withdrawing Directly?

Using Crossboda gives you a US virtual dollar account that Fiverr recognises as a valid bank transfer destination, which means you can:

• Receive USD directly into a virtual US account
• Convert at competitive FX rates
• Withdraw to your Nigerian bank account quickly

Step 1: Get Your Crossboda USD Account

If you do not have an account yet:

1. Sign up on Crossboda
2. Complete identity verification
3. Navigate to Account Details on your dashboard
4. Copy your USD virtual account details 

You will need these details to set up your withdrawal method on Fiverr.

Step 2: Add Crossboda as Your Withdrawal Method on Fiverr

1. Log in to your Fiverr account
2. Click on your profile picture and go to My Business
3. Select Earnings
4. Click Manage Payout Methods
5. Select Bank Transfer. Make sure you choose the correct currency (USD, GBP, or EUR) 
6. Fiverr will nudge you to link via their partner (usually Payoneer or PayPal)
7. Enter your Crossboda USD virtual account details exactly as provided, including your account number and routing number
8. Save and verify your details

Important: You must have available funds in your Fiverr account before you can set up a bank transfer withdrawal method. If this is your first time, complete any pending identity verification steps Fiverr prompts you to complete before proceeding.

Also note that a 24-hour waiting period is required before making withdrawals after adding or changing your withdrawal method.

Step 3: Withdraw Your Fiverr Earnings

Once your payout method is active:

1. Log in to your Fiverr account
2. Go to My Business, then click Earnings
3. In the Available Funds section, click Withdraw Balance
4. Select your Bank Transfer method
5. Enter the amount you wish to withdraw
6. Confirm your payout method and amount
7. Enter the verification code sent to your registered phone number to complete the withdrawal

Note: Withdrawals on Fiverr can only be made 14 days after an order has been marked as complete, and are limited to $5,000 USD per transaction, although top-rated sellers wait only seven days.

Fiverr will process the transfer to your Crossboda USD account within 1 to 3 business days.

Step 4: Convert USD to Naira on Crossboda

Once the funds appear in your Crossboda dashboard:

1. Click Withdraw
2. Add your Nigerian bank account details if you have not already done so
3. Select your preferred conversion rate
4. Confirm the conversion

Your Naira will be deposited directly into your Nigerian bank account.

You have already done the work and earned in dollars. Using Crossboda means you skip the high fees and unfavourable conversion rates, so more of what you earn actually reaches your account.
