My bank is in a different country, how do I get paid?

[nickys]

In the new payout system it will not allow me to enter the IBAN, because the bank account country is different from my home address. For “bank account country” I can only select my own country and USA (??). My bank is Revolut, what am I supposed to do?

Also it’s not very clear, is the new payment system only for Elements authors, or for Envato Market authors too?

The changes to our payout experience provide Authors with access to a wider range of payment options , and can allow them to benefit from potentially lower fees, faster transfers and more flexibility. These changes are intended to benefit our Author community and to support our Authors in succeeding with their creative endeavors.

If I can’t use Revolut this change will mean higher fees and inconvenience having to move my money between banks every month.

Few solutions:

• You can use your own country bank to get the money first then SWIFT it to another country ( or get the debit card so you can use anywhere )
• If PayPal is an option, you can get a new account in the country you’re living, transfer the money to PayPal and after transfer to your bank account

Do you know if the new system is mandatory for Market authors, or just Elements?
I’m using Revolut so I don’t have to touch local banks, I know that’s an option.

Are you an author at Marketplace or Elements?

Marketplace

There’re still 3 payment methods, did it change? ( new payout system? )

@nickys

because the bank account country is different from my home address

Why don’t you change the country then? If that’s the problem. Or you could use Payoneer/PayPal option.

This is the email that I got:

And when I open the link, this is what I see:

Also when I opened my dashboard on codecanyon I saw a popup telling me that I need to migrate to the new payment system or I won’t get paid this month. What you screenshotted is still there, I see no notifications there.

It doesn’t say anywhere if this is only for Elements authors or not, I’m really confused.

I’m on PayPal payment system, I don’t have any issue with it. Create a ticket and let the Envato support check if there’s any issue.

[nickys]

I just hope it doesn’t take a week like my last ticket, that’s why I asked here

As far as I know, new payment system now works only for Elements. Market still work on the old one.

Important update on payment system rollout for Elements Authors

Hi all. This is an update on the rollout of our new payment system for Elements Authors, and the impact this rollout will have on those Authors currently residing in Russia and Belarus. Thousands of Elements Authors have already transitioned to the new system and have been providing valuable feedback along the way - thank you to all those who’ve provided feedback over the last few months. We’re very positive about the new system, which provides more payout methods, more control over how you are…

Apart from the illegally high fees you are paying (around 10%)

[ki-themes]

Envato/PayPal has an agreement - there’s no charges. For example, if you have 100$ on your Envato account, you’d get 100$ to your PayPal. Charges are effective from PayPal to your bank account ( ~3.5% )

SWIFT costs around 25$+~20$. If you’re not withdrawing more than 1500$, it’s the same amount you’re losing on every transaction.

If you’re getting paid from a person to your PayPal, you’re right. That’s why I add 12% as “PayPal/Transfer fees” to the total amount or ask them to use WISE/SWIFT

[nickys]

If you withdraw to Revolut it’s a flat $25 fee, so if you withdraw more than $750 you are losing money with PayPal.

[Schiocco]

All right. You also have 5% fee on the currency conversion charge with PayPal
