Two Separate Flows
Getting Paid
Your employer approves a payment → it’s credited to your Shor balance within a couple of minutes. No waiting for bank rails to clear.
Withdrawing to Your Bank
Separately, you link a bank account and withdraw from your Shor balance on your own schedule. The withdrawal uses your country’s local banking rail.
Your Shor Account
Your account lives in Finance → Accounts and shows a balance per currency. If your employer pays in USD and you also do work for a company paying in EUR, you’ll see separate USD and EUR balances. You can:- Hold the balance as long as you want; nothing forces a withdrawal
- Withdraw part or all to your linked bank account at any time
- See every credit and withdrawal in Finance → Transactions
Linking a Bank Account for Withdrawals
Go to Finance → Connections
From your professional dashboard, open the Finance tab and click Connections.
Click Add Bank Account
Enter the details specific to your country: account number, routing code, IBAN, IFSC, etc. Shor’s form shows the fields your country requires.
Making a Withdrawal
Once a bank account is linked, go to Finance → Accounts, pick the balance you want to withdraw from, and click Withdraw. Choose the destination bank, enter an amount, and confirm. The withdrawal uses your country’s local rail:- Instant rails (UPI, FPS, PIX, SEPA Instant): seconds to minutes
- Standard local transfers: same day to 1–2 business days
- ACH in the US: 1–3 business days
Bank Account Details You’ll Need
What the form asks for depends on your country:- United States: routing number and account number
- Europe: IBAN and BIC/SWIFT
- United Kingdom: sort code and account number, or IBAN
- India: IFSC code and account number
- Other countries: local account details; Shor’s form lists the required fields
Multiple Bank Accounts
You can link more than one bank account. Pick which one to withdraw to when you initiate each withdrawal, or set a default. Useful if you split income across savings and spending accounts.Fees and FX
- Incoming payments to your Shor account: no fee to you as the worker. The employer covers the pricing on their side.
- You’re paid in the contract currency: each payment credits your Shor account in whatever currency your contract specifies (USD, EUR, INR, etc.). That’s the only currency involved at credit time.
- Multi-currency balances: if you have multiple contracts in different currencies, you’ll see a separate balance per currency in Finance → Accounts. Nothing is force-converted.
- FX only when you actually convert: FX is charged only when a conversion actually happens. Withdrawing from a currency balance into a bank in the same currency = no FX. Withdrawing into a bank in a different currency = FX at a disclosed rate, shown before you confirm. No hidden spread.
- Withdrawal fees: Shor uses the cheapest local rail available. A small flat fee may apply depending on the destination rail and currency, always disclosed before you confirm, no surprises.
What This Gives You
- Fast visibility of earnings: typically within minutes of your employer approving the payment, useful for cash-flow planning
- Withdraw on your own schedule: batch a few pay cycles, or pull daily
- Multi-currency balances: hold in USD, EUR, etc. without forced conversion
