Payout methods and fees
Pick your method in Tipalti. What’s available depends on your country: check Payout countries first. Earnings are paid out on the schedule and subject to any minimum shown in your account. Fees vary by payout method and country and are deducted from your payout. Your own bank may charge additional fees.
| Method | Fee per payout | Typical delivery after sending |
|---|---|---|
| ACH (US bank accounts) | $1.00 | Next business day |
| Local bank transfer in CAD, GBP, EUR, SEK, DKK or NOK | $1.00 | See the country table |
| International bank transfer (Global ACH), all other countries with a bank option | $7.00 | See the country table |
| Wire transfer | $15.00 to a US account in USD; $20.00 in another currency; $26.00 in USD to an account outside the US | Same or next business day |
| Check (US dollars) | $2.99 | Varies |
| PayPal | $1.00 plus 2% (the 2% is capped at $1.00 in the US and $20.00 elsewhere). PayPal may charge its own fees (paypal.com) | Set by PayPal |
Wire minimums. Each country and currency has its own wire minimum, set by Tipalti and shown in the country table. A wire costs $15 to $26, so on a small balance most of the payment goes to the fee. If your balance is close to the wire fee, pick another method.
Limits. Some options have a minimum or maximum per payment. They are in the country table.
Currency conversion
ONCE pays in US dollars. If you choose to be paid in another currency, Tipalti converts it and charges a fee on the payment amount. Checks are paid in US dollars only, so no conversion fee applies to them.
| Payment amount | Conversion fee |
|---|---|
| Up to $499.99 | 3.00% |
| $500.00 to $99,999.99 | 2.50% |
| $100,000.00 and over | 1.90% |
Other fees. Your bank, any intermediary bank on a wire, and PayPal may charge their own fees. ONCE and Tipalti don’t set them. Tipalti’s fees can change; we update this page when they do.
What a payout costs
Fee plus conversion fee, before any bank or PayPal fees.
