Getting paid
Stores report royalties a couple of months after the streams happen. When your dashboard balance reaches the $50 payout minimum, request a payout. Interfine pays to M-Pesa, bank transfer, Payoneer or PayPal; your dashboard shows the options available in your country. How payouts work.
Collect your songwriting royalties
In Uganda, UPRS (Uganda Performing Right Society) collects performance royalties for songwriters and composers. Interfine’s publishing administration can register your works so radio, TV and public performance income reaches you. Read our guide to publishing royalties in Africa.
