How Payment Release Works for Gig Workers
“Same-day” describes the product’s intended release path, not guaranteed bank arrival. Payment is secured before confirmed work begins, released after approval or the stated no-dispute window, and then follows the receiving bank’s timing.
Payment is secured before work starts
A shift is confirmed only after the employer’s payment is successfully secured for the work. You do not start while payment is still pending.
You carry zero float: you never front costs and wait to be reimbursed.
Clock-in creates a reviewable record
When location permission is granted, clock-in records the time and a one-time GPS stamp. That can support a later review; it is not continuous tracking and is not a safety or outcome guarantee.
Approval starts the payout path
Payment is released when the gig poster approves completed work, or automatically 24 hours after the scheduled end when no dispute is open. The receiving bank controls arrival timing. Chambazo charges no worker platform fee, so you keep 100% of the posted rate plus 100% of any recorded tip.
FAQ
Is payment secured before I start?+
Yes. The shift is not confirmed until the required payment authorization succeeds and covers the work.
How long until it hits my bank?+
Payment releases after approval, or automatically after the stated no-dispute window. The receiving bank controls arrival timing, so the app does not promise same-day bank arrival.
Is there a fee to get paid?+
No. There is no worker payout fee — you keep 100% of the posted rate and 100% of tips.
