Creator and publisher payout timing
Different timing for creators and publishers, by design.
Creators — on demand, once you clear a minimum
Creators can withdraw any time via mobile money, bank transfer, or card, once available balance clears the minimum for that method — around $5 for mobile money, $10 for card, $20 for bank transfer. Processing speed is a choice you make at withdrawal, not a property of the method: standard takes 5–7 business days at a 2.5% fee, or express is same-day at a 4.5% fee — for mobile money, bank transfer, and card alike. Withdrawals also require your wallet PIN and are subject to withholding tax — see Tracking your earnings and withdrawing for the exact numbers.
Publishers — on demand, once you clear a minimum
Publisher earnings sweep into your withdrawable balance automatically as verified clicks land — there's no fixed monthly cycle. Once your balance passes roughly $75, request a payout whenever you like via mobile money or bank transfer.
Why earnings take time to clear
Earnings post once Argus confirms a click wasn't fraudulent. This usually happens within moments of the click, but in rare cases of delayed fraud signals, an amount can be reversed before it's available to withdraw.
Checking your payout status
Your Wallet and Earnings dashboard shows available balance and pending amounts for both roles — since payouts are on-demand rather than scheduled, there's no fixed "next payout date" to check.
