Introduction
Rakuten Advertising pays creator commissions by PayPal, direct deposit (ACH), or check.
When setting your payment method in Partner Hub, keep the following in mind:
- You can only select one method of payment for your account.
- Your payment options are based on the country you are in and the network your brand partner belongs to. Refer to the tables below to see the options available for you to receive commission payments specific to the country in which you are located.
- Some brand networks and payment options are mutually exclusive. For example, if you select check payments, you will not receive payments for commissions earned for a brand in a network that does not pay via check.
- Checks and PayPal payments are made in the network's currency: for example, commissions earned from a brand in the US network are paid in USD.
- Direct Deposit is paid in the local currency of your creator account location.
- Payoneer is not an available payment option.
Check
Checks are mailed to the account address displayed in your Account details page.
Direct Deposit
Payments can only be deposited in a bank account with the same legal name and country address as your Rakuten Advertising account registration. You can find the necessary ABA routing number or SWIFT code and account information on your check or by contacting your bank. Enter your bank account information carefully. Rakuten Advertising is not responsible for verifying any account information or account ownership.
Bank fees may be associated with currency conversions. Contact your bank to better understand their policies. You can change your direct deposit bank account in Partner Hub.
PayPal
PayPal is widely available and a common choice that allows access to multiple networks. However, you cannot receive payments via PayPal if your brand partner is in the Brazil network. Learn more about using PayPal.
