I understand that Sberbank is not the most convenient withdrawal option, but I got the IP current account in it when registering in one of our domestic offices. Over the past year, I have repeatedly used it to withdraw funds earned for my projects on Upwork, everything was fine, the amount "arrived" on the same day. Now I want to withdraw another portion, but, in the light of recent events, I don’t know if it will work? From the administration of the exchange, no notifications have been received in this regard. Has anyone withdrawn money this way in recent days?

UPD
The thing is that Sberbank was under sanctions already a year ago. At least according to the main SWIFT code. But there was a method used by Sberbank clients, including me: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/quot-D...
I would like to know if it still works

I sent a test amount of $50 this morning, now it has come to my Sberbank account. So for now this output method works. Also, according to information from Yuliy Bedrosova , the Upwork withdrawal scheme - PayPal, PayPal - Sberbank is still working. Since it is not clear how long this situation will last (it seems like Sberbank was given a month to close correspondent accounts over the hill), I also opened an account in Tinkov. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Sber is already under sanctions in the US, and Upwork, as this is an American company, will not be able to withdraw money to your current account. Upwork added qna for clients and freelancers due to the situation in Ukraine: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Global-Updates/Upd...

Upwork immediately blocks withdrawals to all sanctioned banks. Open an account in any other bank and withdraw through it. Lots of options. For Upwork, Tinkoff and Modulbank are most often used.

I have withdrawn to Alfabank, although it is not in the list of banks disabled from swift

I heard information that the real official sanctions come into effect on March 12. Everything we see now is private initiatives.
