Only verified recipients can request payouts. It's important to designate who will manage the funds.
- For a guide on adding a recipient and completing verification, see: How to Add a Recipient and Receive Funds.
- Once you've been added as a recipient, here's how to enter your banking details: How to Add Your Bank Details as a Recipient.
Verification Requirements
To successfully verify the recipient's identity, the following are required:
- A bank account (in the same currency as the fundraiser)
- A passport or government-issued photo ID
- A phone number
- A residential address (PO boxes are not accepted)
- A tax ID (for example, a Social Security Number if in the US)
- The recipient must be 18 years of age or older
Note: The verification process is mandatory as it complies with financial regulations and ensures secure transactions.
After you complete these steps, your campaign will undergo a verification review, usually within 48 hours. We might contact you for additional information if needed. Once verified, the 'Payouts' section becomes available in your Campaign Dashboard, ready for payout management.
