As we roll out this new system, you may notice your weekly payment appearing later in the week than usual.
After you select a Pay Point, you will tell us how you'd like to be paid. You can set up how you wish to be paid by logging in to your account and clicking on "Payment & Tax Info". You can click here for instructions.
Once your account balance reaches or exceeds the Pay Point, and the tax form is complete, we will issue a payment to you the following week via the payment method you have selected.
Payout Options
Any time you reach your Pay Point, we'll process your payment you the following week. You can indicate to us how you'd like to be paid. The currency type is not currently editable.
These are the following payment methods you can choose from:
-
Bank Transfer**
- Direct Deposit, ACH, IACH, EFT, EUR SEPA, *Payoneer or Wire transfers
- Paypal
- Checks (U.S. Only)
* Payoneer is another way for artists outside the U.S. to receive payments. If you have a Payoneer account select "Bank Transfer" and add the routing and account number provided by Payoneer.
We are currently unable to send payments to people in Russia, Belarus, and the Donbas regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. We will continue to process payments to all people in Ukraine for as long as we are able, but there may be extreme delays.
Processing Fees
Payment fees by location | **Bank Transfer | **Bank Transfer (Wire in Local Currency) |
**Bank Transfer (Wire in $USD) | Check | PayPal | Payoneer |
U.S. | -- | $10 | N/A | $4.00 | $2.00 | N/A |
Outside U.S. | $2.50 | $25 | $25 | N/A | $2.00 | Third-PartyFee |
For all bank transfers, we remit payment in U.S. Dollars. At banks outside the U.S., the funds will be converted to local currency. The conversion rate will vary based on currency fluctuations. This means the deposited amount may change from week to week even if the U.S. Dollar amount remains the same.
**For bank transfers: we recommend the following minimum Pay Points
- ACH: $10
- IACH: $11
- SWIFT: $45
- USD SWIFT: $65
Your local bank may charge a separate fee to receive these payments; please contact them for confirmation.
It may take a few business days for the funds to reach your account.
If you have payment and tax info saved in our new system, and if you are over your pay point, you will be paid as usual. However, if you have not entered a tax ID, or if the tax ID is invalid, we will need to withhold at the default amount (24% for US persons/30% non-US persons). This amount will appear as withheld on your year-end tax forms.
Return Fees
Payment fees - location | Bank Transfer | Check | PayPal | Payoneer | Wire Transfer (local + USD) |
U.S. | $5 | $5 | $5 | N/A | N/A |
Other Countries | $20 | N/A | $5 | Third-Party Fee | $30 |
Euro Zone | $40 | N/A | $5 | Third-Party Fee | $30 |
Artists who have reached their pay point will have payments processed the following week.
If you need to make changes to your payment info or change your payment method, please do so by Saturday at 11:59 PM Pacific Time to ensure that the updates will be reflected in your upcoming payment. Changes made after this time will not go into effect until the next pay cycle.
