How Long Does It Take to Transfer Money From UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:57 am

UpWork is a popular freelancing platform that connects businesses with freelancers for a variety of project-based work. Once a project is complete and the client is satisfied, they release payments to the freelancer. But how long does it take for that money to actually hit your bank account

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring money from Upwork, be aware that it may take up to five business days for the transfer to go through. During this time, the funds will be unavailable in your account.

According to UpWork’s own help documentation, payments are released within three business days of the client approving the work. However, it can take a few additional days for the funds to actually show up in your account. This is because banks have their own processing times, and UpWork has to send the payment through the ACH system.

So while you may not see the money immediately, it should be in your account within a week of the client approving the work. And if you’re ever in doubt, you can always contact UpWork’s support team for help.
