Creator payout & KYC explanation
Draft — tax and legal review required before live payouts.
Creator payout onboarding and KYC/identity collection are handled through Stripe Connect where the payout capability is enabled. Fedilo stores only the connected-account state needed to operate the product and must not ask creators to enter bank numbers or identity-document data directly into Fedilo.
Creators are responsible for providing accurate information requested by Stripe and for understanding tax obligations applicable to them. This page is an operational explanation, not tax or legal advice.
Platform transfer and bank payout are separate stages. A transfer to the connected Stripe account is not labelled as a completed bank payout until authoritative payout evidence is observable.
Payouts can be blocked by incomplete KYC/onboarding, payout capability restrictions, unresolved risk review, missing current referral terms or a negative balance.
