If you’ve ever used UpWork, you know that payments can sometimes be slow to process. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the most common reasons for why your payment may be pending on UpWork.
1. You Haven’t Met the Minimum Threshold
In order to receive payments on UpWork, you must first reach a minimum threshold of $100. This means that if you’ve only earned $50 in a given week, your payment will be pending until you reach that $100 mark. Once you do, your payment will be processed within 48 hours.
2. You’re New to UpWork
If you’re new to UpWork and have just started using the platform, your payments will automatically be held for 14 days. After those 14 days have passed, your payments will then be processed on a weekly basis.
3. There’s an Issue with Your Payment Method
If you’re using a credit or debit card as your payment method on UpWork, there’s always a possibility that there could be an issue with your card. If this is the case, your payment will be pending until the issue is resolved.
4. There Was a Problem with Your Job
If there was a problem with the job you completed (for example, if the client wasn’t happy with the work), your payment may be put on hold while UpWork investigates the issue.
Why Is My Payment Pending on UpWork?
There are several reasons why your payment may be pending on UpWork. The most common reasons are that you haven’t met the minimum threshold, you’re new to UpWork, or there’s an issue with your payment method. If there was a problem with the job you completed, your payment may also be put on hold while UpWork investigates the issue.
