Available Payment Methods
Advlume pays via PayPal or international bank transfer. US accounts need a 9-digit routing number and account number; international accounts need IBAN and SWIFT/BIC.
Advlume supports two payment methods: PayPal and international bank transfer (wire). You must add a payment method before your first payout can be processed. Payment details can be added or updated at any time from Settings → Payment Method in your dashboard.
PayPal
PayPal is the simplest option if you have an existing PayPal account. Payments are sent directly to your PayPal email address in USD.
Required information
- PayPal email address — must be a verified PayPal account
Considerations
- PayPal may apply currency conversion fees if your account is not in USD.
- PayPal has its own receiving limits for unverified accounts. Make sure your PayPal account is verified to avoid holds on larger payments.
- Payments typically arrive within 1–2 business days of processing.
Bank transfer (wire)
Bank transfer is available for both US-based and international publishers. The required fields differ depending on whether your bank account is in the United States or outside it.
US bank accounts (ACH / domestic wire)
| Field | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Country | US |
| Account holder name | Full legal name of individual or business |
| Bank name | Name of your bank |
| Routing number | Exactly 9 digits (ABA routing number) |
| Account number | 4 to 17 digits |
| Account type | Checking or savings |
International bank accounts (SWIFT wire)
| Field | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Country | 2-letter ISO country code (e.g. DE, FR, GB) |
| Account holder name | Full legal name of individual or business |
| Bank name | Name of your bank |
| IBAN | Starts with 2-letter country code + 2 check digits + up to 30 alphanumeric characters |
| SWIFT / BIC | 8 or 11 characters (letters and digits) |
IBAN and SWIFT/BIC are required for all non-US accounts. Routing numbers and US-style account numbers are not accepted for international accounts.
Changing your payment method
You can update your payment details at any time from Settings → Payment Method. Changes take effect for the next scheduled payout. If a payment is already being processed when you update your details, it will be sent to the previous method.
Payment security
Bank account and PayPal details are stored encrypted in the Advlume database. Sensitive fields (IBAN, account number, routing number) are never displayed in full after submission — only the last few characters are shown for confirmation. Advlume staff cannot view your full account number.
