Bugcrowd provides the new Bank Transfer payment method. The amount is credited to your bank account with lower currency conversion fees when compared to the existing payment methods. Also, you must submit the tax form to receive your payout.
Payments can be split through collaboration. For information about collaboration, see researcher collaboration.
Our payment processor has implemented minimum amounts for bank transfers and wires to reduce overall costs and avoid the return of small payments. If the payments are lesser than the amount listed in the following table, it will not process. Also, the minimum amount varies based on the region and associated banking networks.
