We send payment in GBP, but thanks to Wise, you will receive the payment in whichever currency you specify in your payment settings.

You can only receive money in a specific currency if your bank account is located in the country associated with that currency.

For example, if you select USD as your preferred currency, you will only be able to withdraw that payment into a US bank account. You will not be able to withdraw USD into an account outside of the US, even if your account usually accepts USD.

Please ensure you select a currency that reflects your bank account location.

What if my currency is missing?

If your currency isn’t listed in our payment settings and you don’t have an international bank account in an accepted currency, we recommend that you set up a Wise account or Payoneer account.

Wise and Payoneer are award-winning financial transfer services with millions of customers worldwide, and are successfully used by hundreds of Vidsy creators.

With Wise or Payoneer, you’ll establish an account to receive payments from Vidsy in GBP, using a UK sort code and account number – or in USD, using a routing and account number.

Once you receive Vidsy’s payment into your Wise account, you can easily transfer the money to your own bank account from there. Please ensure you specify GBP or USD as your currency preference in your payment settings for this method.

Why does the payment display in GBP (£)?

Vidsy pays all creators from our headquarters in London, UK. We pay in GBP.

All briefs are displayed in GBP as this is an accurate reflection of the payment we make. If you click into each individual application page, you'll be able to view an estimate of the amount you'll receive in your own currency based on current currency conversion rates.
