You finished the shoot, uploaded the deliverables and marked the job complete. Now you're waiting on your payout. So how long does it actually take for the money to land in your account?
Most payouts arrive within 2–5 business days after a job is approved. Here's exactly how the timeline works, what can slow it down and what to do if your funds are delayed.
When the Payout Is Triggered
Your payout starts once the job is confirmed complete on the platform.
Two things need to happen first:
You mark the job complete and upload the final deliverables.
The client reviews and approves the work.
Once the client approves, the deposited funds are released from escrow and the payout clock starts. If a client doesn't respond, jobs are auto-approved after the review window closes.
Typical Processing Windows
After approval, funds move through a standard processing window. Here's what to expect:
Approval to release: Same day, once the client confirms.
Release to your bank: 2–5 business days, depending on your payout method.
What Can Affect the Timing
Most payouts land right on schedule. A few factors can shift that window, though, and it helps to know them in advance.
Bank processing speed
Weekends and holidays
Payout method
Your first transfer may take slightly longer while account details are verified
Occasionally, routine verification checks may add a short delay to protect your account
What to Do If Your Funds Are Delayed
Say it's been more than five business days, and you still don't see the money. Don't worry, there are a few quick things to check first.
Confirm the job was approved.
Count business days, not calendar days.
Check your payout details.
Look for a verification request.
