Jobs & Bookings
How do I post a job?
As a client, go to 'Post Job', select the service category, describe the work needed, set your budget range, and choose your preferred schedule. Workers in your area will be able to see and apply to your job.
How do I apply for jobs as a worker?
Browse available jobs in your area, view the job details and requirements, then tap 'Apply'. You can include a message to the client explaining why you're the right fit.
How does the job completion process work?
Once work is finished, the worker marks the job as complete with photo proof. The client then reviews and approves the completion, triggering the final payment release.
What if there's a dispute?
If you have issues with a job, you can file a dispute through the app. Our support team will review the case and mediate between both parties to reach a fair resolution.
Can I cancel a booked job?
Jobs can be cancelled before the worker starts. If a downpayment was made, refund policies apply based on the cancellation timing. Check our Terms of Service for details.
Payments
How does the escrow payment system work?
iAyos uses a 50/50 escrow system: 50% is paid as a downpayment when you accept a worker, held securely by the platform. The remaining 50% is paid upon job completion. This protects both clients and workers.
What payment methods are accepted?
Wallet deposits are made via PayMongo QR PH — a universal QR code you scan with any Philippine bank or e-wallet app (GCash, Maya, BPI, UnionBank, and 40+ others). Cash payments are also supported with photo proof verified by our admin team.
What are the platform fees?
iAyos charges a 10% platform fee on the total job budget. This is charged to the client at the time of escrow payment, before work begins. The worker receives the full agreed job amount.
How do workers withdraw their earnings?
Go to Wallet > Withdraw in the app, enter the amount (minimum ₱100), and select your preferred method (GCash, bank transfer, Maya, GrabPay, or Visa). Your wallet balance is deducted immediately and your request is sent to our admin team, who process it manually during business hours. You can also enable auto-withdrawal to have weekly requests submitted every Friday.
What happens if a client doesn't pay?
With our escrow system, payment is secured before work begins. The downpayment is held by iAyos and released to the worker upon job completion approval.
Can I pay with cash?
Yes, cash payments are supported. The worker must upload photo proof of cash receipt, which is then verified by our admin team to complete the transaction.
Trust & Safety
How are workers verified?
All workers undergo KYC verification including government ID verification, selfie matching, and optional background checks (Police/NBI Clearance). Verified workers display a blue checkmark badge.
What does the blue checkmark mean?
The blue checkmark indicates a KYC-verified user whose identity has been confirmed through our verification process. This adds an extra layer of trust for transactions.
How do I report a problem or safety concern?
Use the 'Report' button on any user profile or job listing. You can also contact support directly through Settings > Help & Support > Report Issue.
Is my personal data secure?
Yes, we use bank-level encryption to protect your data. Your personal information is never shared with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.
What if I suspect a scam?
Never share personal financial information outside the app. Report suspicious activity immediately. Our team actively monitors and removes fraudulent accounts.

The app isn't working properly. What should I do?
