What Does It Mean When Payment Is Not Verified on UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:08 pm

As a freelancer, you’re always looking for new and interesting projects to work on. However, you also want to make sure that you’re getting paid for the work that you do.

That’s why it’s important to know what to do when payment is not verified on UpWork.

There are a few different reasons why payment may not be verified on UpWork. The most common reason is that the client hasn’t added a payment method to their account.

This can be easily fixed by having the client add a credit or debit card to their account. If the client does not have a credit or debit card, they can still add a bank account.

PRO TIP: If you see the “Payment not verified” message on your Upwork account, it means that the client has not yet verified their payment method. This could be because they’re new to Upwork and need to add a payment method, or because they need to update their payment information.

If you’re working with a client who has this message on their account, we recommend asking them to verify their payment method as soon as possible. That way, you can be sure that you’ll get paid for your work.

Another reason why payment may not be verified is that the client has chosen to use an eCheck as their payment method. An eCheck can take up to 5 business days to clear, so you may not see the money in your account right away. However, it is important to remember that eChecks are just as good as regular checks and will eventually clear.

If neither of these reasons seem to be the case, then it’s possible that there was an error with the transaction. In this case, it’s best to reach out to UpWork support so they can help resolve the issue.

As a freelancer, it’s important to know what to do when payment is not verified on UpWork. By following the steps above, you can be sure that you’ll get paid for the work you do.
