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.
Important! Your first payout is sent when you earn over $100 in total, regardless of the payment option you select. After your first payment, you can select a lower payout limit for the payment method where it is available.
Please see the payout limits here.

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.

If you would like to change your payment settings then do the followings:

1. log into your studio or solo performer account.
2. click on the menu: Settings / Account and Payment settings
3. scroll down the page to the 'Payout information' section and do the necessary changes and hit 'save' when you are finished

CURRENCY

Please note that SoulCams.com sends payouts in EUR, by default (except CosmoPayment where it is USD), however you can select and ask for USD payments too.

WIRE TRANSFER

As the account holder, you are responsible for paying the banking fees. The wire transfer has a fix fee of 10 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)
If you are outside the EU (European Union), UK and USA, you need to print and sign the SoulCams Model/Studio agreement and send it back to us. We will send you the relevant document for signing when you have a payout due.

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.

IBAN: = International Bank Account Number. Almost all banks in Europe provide an IBAN identifier for their accounts as well as nationally recognized identifiers. Contained within the IBAN is information about the receiving country, bank, branch and account number. The IBAN is up to 34 characters long and includes numbers and letters. To be sure that you add your IBAN properly, you can check it first on this site: Check IBAN / show more information. The following page also might be useful if you are not sure about your IBAN format: IBAN formats by country

SWIFT/BIC code: = Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication). These codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire transfers between banks. 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). The ABA routing number is a 9–digit number assigned to financial institutions by The American Bankers Association (ABA) to identify the financial institution upon which a payment was drawn.

Recommended wire (bank) transfer solutions

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. But the chance is much lower, that an established and prestigious bank would go down from one day to another. We, as a webcam platform must make sure, that we receive our money in time and can safely and legally move that money. You, as a webcam model must also make sure, that you can receive your money and that money is safely kept.

This is why we decided to offer a few tips on how to get paid safely and which companies we trust, when it comes to receiving payments.

The good old bank (bank account)

Having a bank account at a reputable, local bank is what we consider the safest. You can receive money in different currencies (at least in USD and EUR if you want), you can have a debit or credit card and you do not have to worry about losing your hard-earned money. Look around in your country, try to find the best deal. Remember, cheap is not always the best!

(Transfer)Wise
