The most common reason for a payment to be pending is that the client hasn’t approved the work. This can be frustrating, especially if you’ve completed the work and are just waiting on the client to give their final approval. If this is the case, your best bet is to reach out to the client directly and ask for their approval.

PRO TIP: If your payment is pending on Upwork, it may be because the client has not yet approved the work. If the client does not approve the work within 5 days, the payment will be released to you.

Finally, there may be a problem with your payment method. This is usually easy to fix – simply add a new payment method and try again.
