Introducing: TRIBE Wallet! We’ve updated our worldwide payment process to make your experience smoother and super secure. There is a one-time set-up process and after that, the only time you have to think about payments is how you're going to spend them!
Got questions? We’ve got all the answers.
How do I activate my TRIBE Wallet?
You’ll be prompted to activate your TRIBE Wallet just once via email when you get your first win following the launch of this new payment process on February 11, 2021.
You will receive an email prompting you to activate your wallet
Note: You will only receive the activation email once TRIBE processes your payment. So, if you have your payment option set to “pay me in 45 days”, then you’ll receive the activation email when the payment gets processed—which is in 45 days.Once you select ‘activate’ you’ll be directed to the new payment portal
Verify yourself with your date of birth or Creator ID
Note: Your Creator ID can be found under the ‘Payment Method’ section in the appSelect the type of account you’d like to create: individual or business. “Individual” should be selected for a Sole Proprietor or a Single-Member LLC. “Business” should be selected for a Corporation, Partnership or Limited Liability Company

Do I have to go through the above process every time I am paid through TRIBE?
Absolutely not! The above process is a one-time set-up process.
What are the payment options?
You can select to be paid via PayPal or direct debit into a chosen bank account.
What happens once my TRIBE Wallet is activated?
Unless you wish to change your payment method, you don’t need to do anything else once it is activated.
Can I change my payment method after I have activated my TRIBE Wallet?
You sure can! Hop into your wallet portal whenever you like to update your information and payment method.
Where do I find my Creator ID to activate my TRIBE Wallet?
Once TRIBE Wallet has been released, your Creator ID can be found under ‘Payment Method’ in the ‘YOU’ section of the app.
Why have I never seen my Creator ID before?
A Creator ID is a new concept on TRIBE and will only appear after the release of TRIBE Wallet.
Should I set up an individual or business account?
“Individual” should be selected for a Sole Proprietor or a Single-Member LLC. “Business” can be selected for a partnership, public or private company, not-for-profit organization or a government entity.
Will my TRIBE Wallet show all my past TRIBE payments?
No. The portal will not have historical payment data. Only the payments made after the feature was released will be recorded in your TRIBE Wallet.
*If selecting PayPal as your transfer method, you must ensure your email address used is the same as the one you used to sign up to TRIBE. If it is different, then you should add a secondary email address to your PayPal account.
What about TAX?
Do I need to add tax to my fee?
Your campaign fee is the gross amount agreed for the campaign and is inclusive of any applicable taxes (e.g. GST, VAT or sales tax). Please quote your fee on that basis. Where TRIBE is legally required to withhold tax from a payment (for example, Australian creators who haven't provided an ABN), that amount is deducted from your fee and paid to the tax authority on your behalf.
Which TRIBE company am I working with?
Your talent agreement shows which TRIBE entity you're contracting with. This matters for tax, as the rules usually depend on where you and the TRIBE entity are based.
I'm outside the country of the TRIBE entity. Does tax apply?
In many countries, services supplied to an overseas business are treated as exports and taxed at 0%. For example, in Canada, services supplied to a non-resident business that isn't registered for GST/HST are generally zero-rated. Rules vary by country, so please check with your own tax advisor.
Who is responsible for my taxes?
You are responsible for your own income tax and for any sales-tax registration and reporting in your country. TRIBE can't give tax advice, but we're happy to provide our company details for your records.
