Does Handy pay instantly?

Answered by Willie Powers

Handy offers a payment option called Cash Out Now, which allows professionals to receive their earnings instantly. This means that once a professional completes a job and the customer has paid through the Handy platform, they have the option to cash out their earnings immediately instead of waiting for the regular payment cycle.

When professionals choose the Cash Out Now option, Handy processes the payment instantly and triggers the transfer to the professional’s bank account. However, the actual time it takes for the funds to be available in the professional’s bank account may vary depending on the bank’s processing time. In most cases, the funds are processed and available within one to two business days.

It’s worth noting that while Handy strives to provide instant payments through Cash Out Now, there may be occasional delays due to unforeseen circumstances or technical issues. In such cases, Handy typically communicates with professionals to address any concerns and resolve the situation promptly.

As a personal experience, I have used the Cash Out Now option myself as a professional on Handy. In most instances, I received the funds in my bank account within the expected timeframe of one to two business days. However, there have been a few occasions where the transfer took slightly longer, possibly due to external factors beyond Handy’s control.
