Freelancers Lose Billions to Non-Paying Clients—Don’t Be One of Them
Imagine this: You’ve just spent weeks designing a brand identity, writing a killer website copy, or developing a custom app. You deliver the final work to your client… and then they disappear without paying.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
A survey by the Freelancers Union found that 71% of freelancers struggle with late or unpaid invoices—costing independent workers over $50 billion annually.
The solution? Escrow payments.
In this post, we’ll break down how escrow protects freelancers and why Panda Pay Hub’s built-in escrow system is a game-changer for creatives.
An escrow payment is when a third party holds the client’s payment until you complete the agreed-upon work. Instead of trusting a client to pay you after delivery, the funds are secured in advance—ensuring you get paid on time, every time.
Client deposits funds into a secure escrow account before you start the project.
Freelancer completes the work and submits it for approval.
Client approves & funds are released—so you get paid without delays.
With escrow, there’s no risk of non-payment because the money is already set aside for you.
One of the biggest freelancer nightmares is completing work—only to be ignored when it’s time to get paid.
🚨 Without escrow: You send the invoice and hope the client pays. (Risky!)
✅ With escrow: The client has already deposited the money, so there’s zero risk of non-payment.
Some clients keep demanding extra work without increasing the budget. With escrow, you only complete the agreed-upon tasks—and get paid before doing more.
🚨 Without escrow: Clients keep asking for “small changes” and never pay.
✅ With escrow: Once the milestone is met, you get paid immediately.
Traditional invoices can take weeks or months to get paid. Clients stall, ignore emails, or claim they "forgot." With escrow, the money is already set aside.
🚨 Without escrow: Clients delay payment indefinitely.
✅ With escrow: Payments are automatic once the job is complete.
Some freelancers fall victim to chargeback fraud—where a client disputes a payment after receiving the work.
🚨 Without escrow: The client reverses the payment, and you lose your money.
✅ With escrow: Funds are locked in and can’t be reversed unfairly.
At Panda Pay Hub, we built escrow protection into every transaction.
