We reserve the right to require an initial one-time $500 holdback for our administrative purposes. You must reach a minimum of 200.00 in at least one currency to request payment in connection with your account. Should you not reach 200.00 total in your requested payout currency at the end of a calendar year, we reserve the right to returned your balance owed to zero.
