Control when you get your earnings
When you earn with Uber, your money is transferred automatically once a week. You can also choose to cash out directly in the app anytime. Instant and two-day cashout options allow you to access your earnings faster. Here are the cashout options available in your area:
How Instant Cashout works:
Eligibility Requirements: Once you’re eligible for cashouts, you’ll automatically be able to cash out your earnings. To become eligible you must meet the following criteria:
- You’ve taken 25+ Uber trips
- It’s been at least 14 days since your first Uber trip
- You’ve passed Uber’s daily fraud and security screening
1. Open the ‘Menu’ in the Driver app by tapping the three lines in the top left corner.
2. Tap ‘Wallet’, tap ‘Cash out’ and then select ‘Instant’ to transfer your earnings to your linked bank account. A £0.50 fee will apply in each instance.
3. Your transfer should be completed within minutes with Instant Cashout*.
*Please note that there is a daily maintenance window between 21:30 - 04:00. If you cash out during this time, your payment will be queued for payment and you will receive payment after the maintenance is completed. There is an additional weekly maintenance window on Saturdays. The exact timing of this window varies. These maintenance windows should be clearly displayed in the app when you are cashing out.
You can cash out up to £1600 of your earnings per week.
Note that if you don't cash out your earnings from the past week by Monday at 4am local time, your earnings will be transferred into your bank account on Monday as per the normal process.
How Two-days cashout works:
Eligibility Requirements: Once you’re eligible for cashouts, you’ll automatically be able to cash out your earnings. To become eligible you must meet the following criteria:
- You’ve taken 25+ Uber trips
- It’s been at least 14 days since your first Uber trip
- You’ve passed Uber’s daily fraud and security screening
1. Open the ‘Menu’ in the Driver app by tapping the three lines in the top left corner.
2. Tap ‘Wallet’, tap ‘Cash out’ and then select ‘Two-days’ to transfer your earnings to your linked bank account.
3. Your transfer should be completed within 1-2 business days with ‘Two days Cashout’, if you cash out before 14:00 (Monday - Friday). Processing times may vary depending on your bank. Uber attempts to complete payments as quickly as possible but timing is not guaranteed.
How automated weekly payments work:
Uber calculates your earnings based on a weekly cycle from Monday 4am to the next Monday 3.59 am. This means that any trip completed after 4am will be counted in your weekly statement for the next week. On Mondays the total amount from your balance will be deposited into your bank account. You will receive by email your weekly earnings statement with your earnings breakdown. This can also be accessed from partners.uber.com. Process times depend on your bank provider, however we expect the money to be deposited to your account within 48-72 hours.
