New Feature: Instant Payouts Now Available
We're excited to announce instant payouts for completed jobs. Get paid immediately after your work is approved, with funds available in your bank account within minutes.
Instant Payouts = Instant Motivation
Waiting three business days to get paid kills momentum. Our new Instant Payouts feature deposits money into your debit card minutes after a job is approved, so you can reinvest in supplies, cover rent, or grab groceries right away.
Exactly How It Works
1. Finish the gig and submit your completion summary.
2. Job poster taps Approve & Pay inside chat or notifications.
3. You choose Instant Payout. Stripe moves cash from escrow to your debit card in minutes.
