Payout methods: minimums, schedules and fees

Getting paid reliably, cheaply and in your own currency matters as much as what you earn. The table below compares the payout terms per platform. Platforms change their terms from time to time, so double-check the details in your own dashboard.

Choosing a method
- Bank transfer (SEPA in Europe, ACH in the US): simple and familiar. Watch for fixed fees per transfer and higher minimums; some banks ask questions about adult-industry income, so keep your platform statements.
- Adult-industry e-wallets (Paxum, CosmoPayment, Yoursafe and similar): widely accepted by cam sites, often cheap or free on the platform side, with fast transfers. You pay fees when moving money from the wallet to your bank, so compare total cost.
- Crypto: available on several platforms. Fees depend on the network, prices move, a wrong wallet address means lost funds (BongaCams warns about this explicitly), and tax reporting can get more complicated. Not automatically cheaper or safer.
- Prepaid cards and cheques: niche; cheques are slow and often costly outside the US.
Tips
- Compare the total cost: platform fee + wallet or bank fee + currency conversion.
- Name on the account must match the name on your ID. Mismatches are a common reason for failed payouts.
- Payouts below the minimum usually roll over to the next period. Check the rules for inactive accounts.
- Keep every payout statement for your records. See taxes and registration.
- Enable 2-step verification; some platforms require it to change payout details.
