GENERAL PAYOUT INFORMATION
EARNING PERIODS
We divide each month into two earning periods, these are:
- I. earning period: 1st - 15th of the month
- II. earning period: 16th - till the end of the month
PAYOUT LIMITS
- Payout limit is the amount of earnings you need to collect in order to get paid on the payout date of that period (you can read more about payout dates under PAYOUT DATES section.
- The current payout limit is $100
PAYOUT DATES
If your earning reaches the minimum payout limit in any given period, your payment will be sent within 15 working days after the period end. Note: weekends, public holidays are not working days!
IF YOU EARN LESS THEN THE MINIMUM PAYOUT LIMIT
If you earn less than the payout limit in a period then the amount will be rolled over to the next pay period.
PAYMENT METHOD AND / OR PAYOUT LIMIT CHANGE
Please note that you cannot change payout-related information (payment method, minimum payout limit, payout frequency) between 1-10 and 16-26 of each month as these are the payout periods on SoulCams So the dates when you can change these settings are: 11-15 of each month and 27-till the end of the month.

Getting paid the right way
All you need to know about getting paid on time safely
Some of you may have worked as a webcam model for longer. You surely remember the shocking news when one of the biggest payment platforms ePassport went down in September 2010. Many companies lost a lot of money and even more models and affiliates were left with no option to withdraw or spend their money.
Fast forward to May 2018, FirstChoicePay (and the Belize based Choice Bank) went down, again leaving many businesses and people without money. These events show, that if you want your money to be save (and why wouldn’t you?) you should keep it with an established financial institute. Storing your money on a virtual wallet, provided by a dubious company, registered on a Caribic island, with no bank guarantee isn’t exactly safe. It’s more like gambling or Russian-roulette.
What you need is a bank account, with a trustworthy Bank. You might say, that banks can also go bankrupt and you might be right.

WIRE TRANSFER
- As the account holder, you are responsible for paying the banking fees. The wire transfer has a fix fee of 25 EUR (regardless of the amount) that the bank will deduct from the final amount you receive. Tip: set a higher minimum payout limit than 100 to save on transfer fees.
- We send wire transfers in EUR and USD currencies by default. You have to make sure that your bank account is able to receive the currency you choose when adding the wire transfer details in your settings. If you need another currency (CAD, GBP, HUF, etc), it is also possible, but make sure to contact us about it.
- The minimum payout limit for wire transfer is: $200.
- Wire transfers usually take 3-5 business days depending on your location.
Conditions for receiving wire (bank) transfers from us:
- You must have a valid (not expired), government-issued photo ID in latin letters uploaded ('Personal' tab)
- A valid billing address must be added ('Billing' tab)

To send your wire transfer payment, please make sure to fill out the following bank account details:
- Payee name: the person to whom money is being paid. This is the 'account holder' or 'beneficiary'. Please enter only unaccented alphabetical letters here (A–Z or a–z.). The 'Payeee name' must be exactly the same as the owner of the bank account. Add the name of the Account Holder right, do not shorten the name in any way (e.g. If the Account holder is: Kate Smith Birmingham than add this name exactly and DO NOT shorten it like Kate S. Birmingham or K. Smith Birmingham, ...)
- Account number: this row of numbers identifies your individual account.

The SWIFT code is 8 or 11 characters and consits of numbers and letters (to check what type of characters a SWIFT code contains and to read more about SWIFT code click here). The SWIFT code can sometimes be found on account statements, if not then please call your bank and ask the SWIFT code from them (sometimes SWIFT code is called as BIC code = Bank Identifier Code too. The following page might be useful to find out your bank's SWIFT/BIC code if you are not sure about that: online BIC/SWIFT code finder
- ABA/Routing number: (ABA = American Banking Association) Those who have their bank account outside the USA, the ABA / Routing number is not needed (in this case leave this field empty).

Notice from ePayments:
On the February 11, 2020 ePayment Systems Limited ('ePayments') agreed with the Financial Conduct Authority ('FCA') to suspend all activity on its customer accounts.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and are working tirelessly with the FCA to ensure improvements are made and accounts can be reactivated as soon as possible. During this improvement process, we want to assure customers that their funds are being safeguarded as normal.
