Getting paid is the most important part of freelancing — and for many Nepali freelancers, one of the biggest worries is “How do I make sure I actually get paid and not scammed?”
This guide answers the most common questions about international payments, safety, and what Freelanced Nepal does to protect you.
❓ FAQ: Payment & Safety for Nepali Freelancers
1. How do I get paid from international clients?
On Freelanced Nepal, all projects use our secure escrow system. Here’s how it works:
- The client funds the project (money is deposited in escrow).
- You start working only after escrow is funded.
- Once you deliver the work and the client approves it, the funds are released to your Freelanced Nepal wallet.
- From there, you can withdraw to your local bank account, eSewa, Khalti, or international payment providers like Payoneer (coming soon).
This way, you are guaranteed payment as long as you deliver the work.
2. Can I be scammed by clients?
Scams usually happen when freelancers agree to work outside the platform. For example:
- A client asks for your personal WhatsApp, email, or bank account to “send direct payment.”
- They avoid funding escrow and push you to start work anyway.
🚫 Never accept direct payments outside Freelanced Nepal. If a client refuses to use escrow, that’s a red flag.
3. What payment methods can I use in Nepal?
Currently supported/coming soon:
- Bank Transfer (to any major Nepali bank)
- eSewa / Khalti (fast local options)
- Payoneer (for USD transfers from abroad)
- More gateways under review
We constantly update these methods to make international payments faster and safer.
4. What happens if a client doesn’t release payment?
If a client delays or refuses to release payment after you’ve submitted your work, you can:
- Request release from escrow.
- If the client disputes, Freelanced Nepal’s team will step in as an independent mediator to ensure fairness.
Your earnings are always protected as long as you stay on the platform.
5. What fees are involved?
Freelanced Nepal charges a small service fee to cover escrow, transaction, and platform operations. Exact fees are shown before you withdraw, so you always know what you’ll receive.
6. Tips to avoid payment issues
- ✅ Always ask clients to fund escrow before starting work.
- ✅ Keep all communication and file delivery within the platform.
- ✅ Never share personal bank details, WhatsApp, or email.
- ✅ Break large projects into milestones to secure partial payments along the way.
