If you are a brand new creator on Patreon, please note that there will be a 5-day hold in place from the date of adding your first payout method, or from the date of receiving their first payment. This is applicable to charge up front billing as well.
When you withdraw your balance on Patreon, it typically takes 1-3 business days to reach your PayPal or bank account. Please note that you can only pay out once every 24 hours and if you try to pay out again within this timeframe. A notification will let you know the exact time and date that you can next pay out .
If you're there's a message that your transfer may take up to 10 business days, that is because our team is running a few checks on your account due to the volume you've processed. This is part of our effort to keep creators and patrons safe on our platform.
Once those checks are complete, you'll receive an e-mail to let you know that your funds are on their way.
