If you’ve just qualified for Facebook monetization—through Reels bonuses, Stars, or ads—you’ll need to set up your payout account before you can receive your earnings. This guide explains everything step by step, from linking your bank to verifying your account for smooth payments.
Step 1: Go to Facebook Professional Dashboard
To start, open your Professional Dashboard:
-
Go to your Facebook Page (not your profile).
-
Tap Professional Dashboard or Monetization tools.
-
Under Payouts, click Set Up Payout Account.
This takes you to Meta Payouts Manager, where you’ll manage how you get paid.
Step 2: Choose a Payout Method
Facebook offers two main payout options in 2025:
-
Bank Account (Direct Deposit): Best for creators who want fast, direct payments.
-
Payoneer (for unsupported countries): Ideal if your local bank isn’t supported by Meta yet.
💡 Tip: Make sure your bank account name matches your Facebook profile name. Mismatched details often cause payout delays or verification failures.
Step 3: Fill in Your Tax and Personal Information
Facebook (Meta) requires you to complete a tax form, depending on your country.
You’ll need:
-
Your legal name (as on your bank account)
-
Address
-
Tax Identification Number (TIN) or equivalent
-
Government-issued ID for identity verification
Once done, Facebook will review your info and approve your payout setup.
Step 4: Verify and Confirm Your Payout Account
After submitting your details:
-
Check your email or dashboard for Meta’s confirmation message.
-
Verify your bank or Payoneer account if required.
-
Wait for Meta to review and confirm (usually within 1–3 business days).
Once verified, you’ll see your payout method listed as Active in your dashboard.
Step 5: Receive Your Payments
Facebook pays creators around the 21st of each month, but this can vary depending on your country and payout method.
-
Minimum payout threshold: $100 USD (or local equivalent).
-
You can track your earnings in real time from the Payouts section.
If you don’t receive payment after your first eligible month, don’t panic—Facebook may roll it into the next cycle once your setup is complete.
Common Issues and Fixes
✅ Name Mismatch: Ensure your payout name matches your Facebook profile and bank details.
✅ Pending Verification: Submit clearer ID documents.
✅ Unsupported Bank: Switch to Payoneer for global access.
✅ Payment Delays: Check your earnings threshold and next payment cycle.
