DistroKid Bank is where artists can see royalties that have been reported and made available through their DistroKid account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think of it as the financial dashboard between streaming-platform reporting and your real bank account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As stores report royalties, your available balance can increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn’t real-time streaming data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spotify doesn’t send DistroKid money every time someone presses play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DSPs report and pay later, meaning there can be a substantial gap between a stream happening and the money appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DistroKid says artists can visit the Bank page and select Withdraw Earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Payments are handled through Tipalti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on your country, options can include PayPal, ACH, eCheck, bank transfer, wire or paper check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DistroKid says requested funds will typically arrive within 14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Withdrawal charges can apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exact cost depends on payment method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International artists should pay particularly close attention to local bank transfer, PayPal and currency-conversion costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An artist may see strong streaming activity today without seeing the corresponding royalty income for weeks or months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revenue reporting across the music industry operates considerably more slowly than streaming analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The important thing isn’t whether the page looks good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s whether artists can understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what they’ve earned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
where the money came from<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what fees apply<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when it can be withdrawn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For any distributor, transparent accounting should be treated as a major product feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artists are building businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their royalty dashboard should reflect that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
