Account holders on OnlyFans, especially ones based outside the US, complain about a host of payout issues impacting their lives. While some content creators faced payment delays and rejected payout requests, others were unable to access their earnings.

These payout issues were due to technical challenges faced by one of the ‘onward payment partners’ of OnlyFans company. This resulted in panic among content creators for they were hit financially, leaving them with no money to pay for bills.

Additionally, many content creators raised concerns over the Only support team claiming that they aren’t receiving assistance from the OnlyFans team. Many content creators’ payout requests were rejected or were still under processing for over a month.

Canada-based OnlyFans adult content creators recently claimed that their banks closed or froze their accounts given the creators’ links with the adult industry.

In addition to closing their accounts, creators were informed that they could never get their funds back. This took a toll on content creators as they were unable to pay rent and bills and incur basic expenses.

Many adult content creators are asked to reach out to support groups for sex workers in Canada in case of challenges faced on account of freezing or closing of bank accounts. Scotiabank in Canada accepts funds from subscription-based platforms including OnlyFans. However, it does review every case on an individual basis.

What Does ‘OnlyFans Payment Has Been Processed But Not in Bank’ Mean?

‘OnlyFans Payment Has Been Processed But Not in Bank’ means that the OnlyFans creator’s statement showcases that the payout has been processed by OnlyFans but it does not appear in the creator’s bank account. To understand why it happens, you first need to understand how payments work on OnlyFans.

How Do Payments Work On OnlyFans?

As a creator on OnlyFans, it is important to know that whatever amount the Creators earn from subscriptions, PPVs, or tips, it first adds up to your ‘Pending Balance’.

Pending Balance’ is the amount creators earn on OnlyFans during the last 7 days. This means the amounts of earnings a creator generates on OnlyFans will remain in the ‘Pending Balance’ for 7 days.

On the eighth day, the payouts will transfer into or process through the creator’s current balance. Once the payouts are processed through the creator’s current balance, the creator’s earnings become available for withdrawal from the Current Balance.

The creators can log in to their accounts and go to the ‘Earnings’ section to check whether particular payments have been processed through to their available balance. They can look for a tick against such a payment which will signal that the payout is no longer pending and is now available for withdrawal by the creator into their bank account.

To withdraw funds into their bank account, the OnlyFans creators have to make a Payout Request. Once the creators request the OnlyFans platform for a payout, it will take three to eight business days to process the payouts into the creator’s bank account.

What To Do When OnlyFans Payment Has Been Processed But Not in Bank?

Sometimes, it can up to 10 business days. The OnlyFans creators can check their ‘Payout Requests’ section in their statements to keep track of payments. Also, to know whether the OnlyFans platform has sent out the payments, the creators can look for a tick to the right of the payment in question or the date that the payment was sent out.

If it takes more than 10 days after the payment has been listed as processed, the creators can email OnlyFans at payments@onlyfans.com. Within the email, the creators must attach a downloaded copy of their bank statement. Such a statement must display the creator’s bank details.

In addition to this, it must also have evidence that the creators have not received the payment. Those creators (outside the USA) who receive payouts through bank wire transfers must request their Destination Trace ID from Support for the deposits OnlyFans has issued to them. Such creators will need this number to provide to their bank to trace their wire.

How Does OnlyFans Payment Work?

The OnlyFans Payment works similarly to any other subscription-based platform operates. The best point in case here can be Netflix. Unless users subscribe to Netflix, they cannot get access to the films and television series streamed by the platform.

Likewise, unless the Fans subscribe to the Creators’ accounts on the OnlyFans platform, they will not be able to get exclusive access to private content posted by such Creators.

Thus, the content creators on Onlyfans make money primarily through the subscription fee paid by the Fans for subscribing to the Creators’ accounts on the OnlyFans platform. Besides the subscription fee, the other ways in which OnlyFans Creators make money include pay-per-view content, tips, paid messaging, and live-streaming.

The Creators receive 80% of the revenue on their earnings including subscriptions, paid messages, and tips. While the remaining 20% is retained by OnlyFans for referral payments, payment processing, hosting, support, and all other services.

Let’s take a look at each of the OnlyFans payout options that Creators can choose from to earn money on the platform.

a.Subscription

The primary method through which content creators on OnlyFans earn money is through the subscription fee. The subscription fee is the amount of money that Content Creators on OnlyFans charge from their Fans for giving exclusive access to private content posted by them, once the Fans subscribe to their accounts.

Note that the OnlyFans Content Creators can set their account to be a free subscription or a paid subscription. If Content Creators offer a Free Subscription, then do not charge a monthly subscription fee to showcase their feed to the Fans.

But such accounts can offer paid posts and paid live streams to earn money on OnlyFans. However, if the Creators give a Paid Subscription, then they charge a monthly subscription fee from their Fans to give them exclusive access to the private content they post in their profile.

b. Pay-Per-View Content

One of the other ways through which OnlyFans Creators can earn money is through “Pay-Per-View” or PPV.

PPV allows creators to monetize their content by charging a one-time fee from Fans for giving access to the specific posts posted by the Creators on their profile. This feature on the OnlyFans platform permits the creators to earn money from their content without depending only on the subscription revenue.

To earn money through the Pay-Per-View model, the Content Creators need to first create a post and then set the price for access to the post by clicking on the “Make this post-pay-per-view” button. Once the post is live, all the Fans or Users who want to view it will have to pay the set price or the one-time fee for accessing it. Thus, PPV is a great way for the pnlyFans Content Creators to earn additional revenue from their posts.

c. Tip

A Tip is another great way through which OnlyFans Content Creators can earn money. The Tip feature on the OnlyFans platform allows the creators to earn money by adding a tip button under their posts. This allows the Fans of the OnlyFans Creators to showcase their appreciation for the content posted by the Creators by tipping their streams, posts, or Direct Messages.

To activate the tip feature, the Content Creators must update their feed regularly and include a minimum of 10 posts. And to earn more money through Tips, Content Creators must engage with their Fans, update meaningful and quality content regularly, and reply to Fans’ messages. It’s important to note that Fans love to reward the Creators who make an extra effort of creating customized and quality content.

Now there are different ways through which OnlyFans Content Creators can earn money through Tips.

Tipping On Onlyfans

First, they can place a Tip button below every post which the Fans can use to tip the creators.

Second, the OnlyFans creators can also add a tip button to a DM (direct message) which Fans can use to tip the Creators directly via the direct messages interface for providing the Fans with the desired content. Note that if a Creator adds a tip to a message, it ensures that such a message is seen above other tipless messages a creator receives.

The third way in which the OnlyFans Creators can earn money through Tip is to add the Tip icon to their profile. This will allow the Fans to tip the Creators for their effort in providing meaningful and customized content to them by directly going to the account’s profile and clicking the tip button listed on the right side.

Then, the OnlyFans Creators can also go live, interact with their Fans, and earn tips for providing the content that Fans love to watch. There are two ways in which OnlyFans creators can earn money through live streaming.

How To Earn Money Through OnlyFans Livestreaming?

First, the creators can ask their Fans to tip them during their OnlyFans live-streaming session. This way, Fans can offer whatever fee they like if they believe that the Creator made an effort in providing them with high-quality content or the content that they desire to watch. The OnlyFans Creators can also set goals like the minimum amount that they wish to raise through Tips in a live streaming session, especially if they want to raise funds for a cause or charity.

Next, the OnlyFans creators can use a payment-gated stream. What this means is that the Creators can use a paywall and hide their live-stream content behind it. Therefore, the Fans who desire to view the Creator’s content will have to pay the entry fee set by the Creator to unlock the live stream.

This is because your earnings on OnlyFans become available for withdrawal on a 7-day rolling basis. Say, you get paid on the 1st of every month. But someone paid you the tip amount on the 26th of the previous month. In this case, your tip amount will become pending and would available for payment on the 3rd of the current month instead of the 1st.
