When your employer pays you, the money lands in your Shor account within a few minutes. From there, you withdraw to your own bank whenever you want.

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

1

Go to Finance → Connections

From your professional dashboard, open the Finance tab and click Connections.
2

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.
3

Verify

Depending on your country, Shor may ask you to confirm ownership (e.g., a small test deposit or a screenshot).

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
Shor shows the estimated arrival date before you confirm each withdrawal.

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
