Trolley: How to Add a USD Bank Account as a Non-US Member

If you’re a Topcoder member located outside the United States and want to receive your winnings in a USD bank account, Trolley currently requires a workaround. Since the payout setup process is tied to the country listed in your address, non-US payees may not see the option to enter a USD bank account directly.

This guide walks you through a simple temporary address method that allows you to add a USD bank account even if you’re not based in the United States. Once the account is added, you’ll update your address to reflect your actual location.

The ability to enter payout information for a bank account in a given country is tied to the address you provide during the payout account setup.
For non-US payees wanting to add a USD account, you must enter a temporary US address followed by your valid banking information. Once this is accepted, you will then adjust your address to your proper mailing address.

Step 1: Create and verify your recipient account

Step 2: Enter valid payout account details with a temporary US address

Action: Click “+ Add Payout Method.”

Action: Change the country to the “United States of America.”

Action: Enter the following address as a temporary placeholder.

• 742 Evergreen Terrace

• Springfield, Oregon

• 12345

Action: Click “Next”

Action: Enter the Routing Number, Account Number, and the Account Holder’s Name associated with your USD Bank Account.

Action: Click “Add” and then Click “Done” on the “Payout Method Submitted Successfully!”
At this point, your USD Bank account has been set up. You will now need to correct your profile address details to reflect your real address and country.

Step 3: Update payout account details with your actual address

Action: To edit the address on your payout method, click the little pencil icon to edit.

Action: On the next screen, you’ll need to edit the “General Information” for that method by clicking the edit button at the top right.

Action: On the edit address screen, change the address back to your valid address with all details matching your proper location, including your country.

Note: After you change countries, you may need to provide additional information, such as your date of birth, as regulations in different countries may require additional information.

Action: Hit “Save” on this and the following screen to update your address.
