Uber Eats pays weekly by transfer. The pay week starts at 4am on Monday and ends at 3:59am the following Monday, and the pay statement arrives every Tuesday. How quickly the money is available after the transfer depends on your bank.
Instant cashout, once you are eligible, sends earnings within minutes for 50p, up to five times a day, from a balance of £1. Two-day cashout arrives within two working days if requested before 14:00 on a weekday, once a day. Tips, promotions and fares can all be cashed out.
