Requesting a Payout

Ready to get your earnings? Here's how to request a payout and transfer money to your bank account.


Prerequisites

Before requesting a payout:

  • Stripe Connect set up and verified
  • Available balance of at least £25
  • Bank account connected in Stripe

How to Request a Payout

Step 1: Go to Billing

  1. Click your profile icon
  2. Select Settings
  3. Click Billing

Step 2: Check Your Balance

Look at your Available Balance—this is what you can withdraw.

Step 3: Request Payout

  1. Click Request Payout or Withdraw
  2. Enter the amount you want to withdraw
    • Or click Withdraw All for the full amount
  3. Verify your bank details are correct
  4. Click Confirm

Step 4: Confirmation

You'll see:

  • Payout request confirmed
  • Expected arrival date
  • The amount arriving in your bank

Payout Details

Minimum Payout

The minimum payout is £25.

If your balance is below this:

  • Keep selling leads until you reach £25
  • Balance accumulates over time

Maximum Payout

There's no maximum—withdraw any amount from your available balance.

Payout Fee

Sellers pay a 3% payout fee, with a minimum of £3. It is charged per lead sale and is normally deducted at the point of sale, so the balance you see is already net of it — withdrawing costs nothing extra.

Lead sold for Payout fee Added to your balance
£20 £3.00 (minimum) £17.00
£50 £3.00 (minimum) £47.00
£100 £3.00 £97.00
£500 £15.00 £485.00
