This article will cover how to withdraw your Patreon creator earnings to your bank account. It will show you where to go to view your account balance and manually payout your funds.
Patreon processes payments on the 1st of every month. To transfer your balance, head to the income section.
Please note: you can only pay out once every 24 hours. If you have automatic payouts turned on, this will also be included in the 24-hour timeframe. Learn more about automatic payouts in this help guide: Set up automatic payouts
To pay out:
- Log in and click the Income button from the left creator menu.
- Click on "Payouts" below the Income menu.
- Click the "Withdraw balance" button. If this button is grayed out and your current account balance is $0, please check your Relationship Manager to review patrons' membership history – depending on your chosen billing method, patron might not have been charged yet.

Setting up Automatic Transfers
If you'd like to have your transfers automatically sent to the payment method you supplied, toggle the button under “Automatic transfer.” Enabling this will send the money in your account balance to your bank account on the 5th of the month.
If you'd like to manually transfer your account balance, you can do this at from your payout preferences page as well. Just hit the "Withdraw balance"
button under your current account balance. Deposits typically arrive within 1 - 5 business days, depending on your payout method of choice. Refer to this article about what to expect after you've paid out on Patreon: Where is my Payout?
You can manually pay out your balance once every 24 hours. That being said, you can also pay out as many times during the month as you would need.
