How Do I Get My Money From Escrow UpWork?

If you’re a freelancer who uses UpWork to find work, you’re probably familiar with the escrow system. When you win a contract, the client pays the agreed-upon amount into escrow, and then you do the work and submit it to the client. Once the client approves it, the money is released from escrow to you.

But what if the client doesn’t approve your work? Or what if they cancel the contract before you’ve even started? In either of these cases, you may be wondering how to get your money out of escrow.

Luckily, it’s not too difficult. You just need to submit a request to UpWork’s support team. They will review your case and, if they agree that you are owed the money, will release it to you.

So if you’re ever in a situation where you’re not sure how to get your money out of escrow, don’t worry – just reach out to UpWork’s support team and they’ll help you sort it out.

PRO TIP: If you are working with a client on Upwork and they ask you to move your funds into escrow, be very careful. There have been reports of scams where the client will ask you to move your money into escrow and then they will disappear, leaving you without your money. Only work with clients that you trust and be sure to verify that they are who they say they are before moving any money into escrow.
