Once you’ve set up a partner profile on Dub, you can connect your bank account to start receiving payouts from the programs you’re working with.

Connecting a bank account

Dub partners with Stripe for secure global payouts. To receive payouts, you’ll need to follow these steps to set up a Stripe Express account:

Your payout bank account must match your local currency for compliance reasons. E.g. if you’re based in the UK, you will need to connect a GBP bank account to receive payouts.

Supported payout countries

Here’s the full list of countries that we support sending payouts to:

While Stripe itself might not be supported in certain countries, we use Stripe Express for payouts, which covers most regions worldwide. Example: you can still receive payouts in India, even though Stripe itself is not available in India.

If you’re not in a supported country, one workaround is to create a legal entity in any of the supported countries above and use that to receive payouts instead.

For example, you can create a US LLC (using something like Stripe Atlas), which would let you receive payouts in USD.

Once you have an LLC ready, you can go to your partner profile settings and update your profile details accordingly:

• Country – Set to “United States”
• Profile Type – Set to “Company”
• Legal company name – Enter your LLC’s legal name

FAQs

Can I receive payouts in USD?

For compliance reasons, we can only send payouts in your local currency. For example, if you are based in Australia, you will receive payouts in AUD.

If you want to receive payouts in USD, you will need to create a US LLC (using something like Stripe Atlas) and update your partner profile settings accordingly:

• Country – Set to “United States”
• Profile Type – Set to “Company”
• Legal company name – Enter your LLC’s legal name

Can I connect a savings account instead of a checking account?

While it is possible to connect your savings account instead of a checking account, we highly recommend against it for two main reasons:

1. Some banks do not allow third-party deposits into savings accounts, which may cause your payout to fail;
2. Payouts sent to savings accounts can take significantly longer to process (up to 30 business days, depending on the bank), resulting in payout delays.

Can I connect to my existing Stripe account instead of creating a new one?

Since we use Stripe Express for partner payouts, you can only connect an existing Stripe Express account to Dub (and ***not an existing Stripe account***).

Here’s the difference between the two:

• Stripe Express – login on connect.stripe.com
• Regular Stripe accounts – login on dashboard.stripe.com

To connect an existing Stripe Express account to Dub, make sure your partner account email matches your Stripe Express account email.

Do I need to manually withdraw my earnings from Dub?

Unlike platforms like PartnerStack, where you have to manually withdraw your earnings to your bank account – you do not need to manually withdraw your earnings on Dub.

Instead, your earnings/payouts are automatically deposited into your connected bank account the moment they are paid by the company.

What is the minimum withdrawal amount, and how does it work?

All payouts above $10 will be automatically deposited into your bank account as soon as the program processes its payment.

If your payouts are below $10, you can still withdraw them for a$0.50 fee. Go to your Payouts page and click on “Pay out now” in the “Processed” box to withdraw your payout.
