Introducing Raenest FastTrack: Get Your Upwork Payments in Less Than One Hour

Getting paid for your work should be simple. After all, you’ve finished the work (good work at that), your client has approved it, and you’ve sent your invoice. But then comes the wait. The hours that turn into days before your money finally reaches you.

Although this is a system that protects both clients and freelancers, for many professionals, it also means waiting 48 - 72hours before receiving the money they have already earned. That wait can slow down plans, especially when you need access to your funds for everyday expenses, reinvestment, or new projects.

At Raenest (formerly Geegpay), we wanted to change that. So we built Raenest FastTrack, a feature that helps eligible freelancers and contractors access their Upwork payments in under one hour, even on weekends at no extra cost. No other fintech is doing this, and we’re proud to be the first.

It is a simple idea designed for real needs: to give freelancers control over their cash flow. Whether you are a designer covering new tools, a developer paying for subscriptions, or a consultant planning your next move, Raenest FastTrack ensures that getting paid is never the reason your work slows down. 

Here’s how Raenest FastTrack works

Once your Upwork account is connected to your Raenest profile, any withdrawal you make from that connected account will be delivered to your Raenest balance in under an hour — quickly and securely. It’s the same smooth withdrawal process you’re used to, just much faster. 

Here's how to Connect Your Upwork Account

• Log in to the Raenest app.
• Tap your profile avatar (top left).
• Select Connected Apps.
• Tap Upwork and follow the prompts.
• Log in using your Upwork email and password to complete the connection.

Note that FastTrack only works for withdrwals sent to your Raenest bank account and the maximum eligible amount for Raenest FastTrack is up to $1,500 (USD) on weekdays (Monday to Friday) and up to $500 (USD) on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Withdrawals exceeding these limits will be processed as regular Upwork payments, which typically come in within 24 hours. Terms and conditions apply.

Finally, If you normally sign in to Upwork with Google, you’ll need to disable Google SSO and log in with your email and password to complete the connection.

Here’s how to disable Google SSO to complete your connection

• Log in to your Upwork account.
• Click your avatar (top-right corner).
• Select Account Settings.
• Go to Password & Security.
• Under 'Login with Google', click 'Disconnect'.
• Set a new password and sign in again using your email and password.
• Once you’ve made this change, return to Raenest and reconnect your Upwork account:
• Go to Connected Apps in your Raenest app or web dashboard.
• Click Upwork and follow the prompts to connect.

Once you're connected, you can initiate your withdrawal from Upwork to your Raenest account and receive their payment in less than an hour.
