How to Collect (Legally)
1. Verify your identity (KYC)
By law, our payment partner Stripe must confirm who you are. You'll provide your legal name, date of birth, home address, and the last 4 of your SSN (or a government ID). This prevents fraud and money laundering.
2. Add your bank account
Enter your bank's routing & account number in Stripe. Payouts can only be sent to a bank account registered in your legal name.
3. Request a payout
When your available balance reaches $50, tap "Request Payout". We review and process approved payouts every Friday.
4. Get paid
Stripe transfers funds to your bank within 1–3 business days. You'll receive a receipt by email from Stripe once the transfer lands.
5. Taxes are your responsibility
You're paid as an independent contractor and responsible for your own taxes. If you cross the IRS 1099-K reporting threshold, Stripe will issue a 1099-K. Keep your own records and consult a tax professional.
Legal & tax notice. This page is general information, not legal or tax advice. By requesting a payout you confirm the earnings are yours and that you'll comply with applicable tax laws. MentSocial uses Stripe — our third-party payments partner — to verify your identity and deliver payouts; Stripe's terms and your local laws apply. Identity verification (KYC) is required under U.S. anti-money-laundering rules.
