What Time Does UpWork Release Payments?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:25 pm

As a freelancer, one of the most important things to know is when you will get paid. For many freelancers, UpWork is a great platform to find work and get paid promptly. But what time does UpWork release payments?

According to UpWork’s support page, payments are released every Monday at 5am PT for transactions that occurred the prior week. So if you completed a project on Wednesday and your client pays you on Thursday, your payment will be released the following Monday morning.

PRO TIP: Upwork may release payments at any time and without warning. This could result in bounced payments or other payment problems for freelancers who are not expecting the release.

If Monday is a holiday, then payments will be released on Tuesday morning instead. Additionally, if you’re being paid via bank transfer, there may be additional processing time required by your bank.

So if you’re wondering when you’ll get paid for work completed on UpWork, the answer is every Monday morning at 5am PT – unless it’s a holiday, in which case it will be Tuesday morning. Keep an eye on your bank account as well to ensure that payments are being processed smoothly.
