Are payments processed on weekends or holidays?

Overview

While payments can be approved 24/7, processing only occurs Monday through Friday, excluding Bank Holidays. During Bank Holidays, payments are processed on the next business day, which may create a short delay before funds reach Vendors. Regardless, PayCargo guarantees that Vendors will receive the payment and can release cargo as soon as the payment confirmation (receipt) is received.

What should I do if my Vendor does not want to release cargo but they are Same Day Release in the platform?

As a Same Day Release Vendor, the carrier commits to releasing cargo upon confirmation of payment, such as a receipt or email notification. If a vendor does not adhere to this requirement, please contact PayCargo Support for assistance.
