Choosing a payout method
| Method | Good for |
|---|---|
| M-Pesa | Artists in Kenya who want money straight to their phone. |
| Bank transfer | Artists anywhere who want royalties in a local bank account. |
| Payoneer | Artists who earn in several currencies or work with international clients. |
| PayPal | Artists who already use PayPal for online income. |
Why your first payout takes time
Stores pay in arrears. Streams in one month are usually reported and paid a couple of months later. So if your song is released in January, the first income from it typically shows up in your dashboard in March or April. After that, new earnings arrive every month.
Keeping your payouts safe
- Only use payout accounts in your own name.
- Never buy fake streams. Artificial streaming breaks store rules and our 3-strike anti-fraud policy, and payments can be withheld.
- Keep your account email secure and up to date.
