Cash out (instant pay)
Cash out is taking your earnings before the normal weekly payment, usually for a small fee. Deliveroo and Uber charge 50p a time.
Last checked 29/09/2026.
Deliveroo lets you cash out any time from the Earnings page. Uber has instant cashout and a slower two-day option, which used to be called Flex Pay. Stuart couriers can draw earnings through Onsi. Amazon Flex, Just Eat and Evri describe no equivalent.
What it means for your money
The fee is small but it adds up: 50p a day is around £180 a year. It is an allowable business expense. For tax, your turnover is the full amount earned and the fee is a cost, rather than recording only what reached your bank.

When each app pays you, and why the date matters for tax
Most apps pay weekly, on different days, with a fee to get it sooner. Evri pays monthly. The pay date decides how much cash you need in reserve and, at the start and end of the year, which tax year the money falls in.
