Withdrawals to a bank account

Before withdrawing funds, make sure you have added your personal data in line with the above instructions.

To withdraw money to a bank account, select the Balances tab and Select a bank account from the drop-down list of withdrawal methods, and amount. Click on the Continue button.

You will see an intermediate payment amount in USD, converted at Solar Staff's internal rate.

Important! Although Solar Staff processes payments in US dollars, the beneficiary's bank account is credited in the national currency as required by our payment partner.

Additionally, some countries may withhold taxes on payments as per their legislation.

Sample conversion that yields the final payment to a bank account:

1) Conversion in Solar Staff: EUR > USD
2) The payment partner's conversion: USD > National currency
3) Tax withheld on the payment partner's side:
Payment in national currency – Tax = Amount credited to the beneficiary's bank account.

Payment limits:

The cap on a single withdrawal is USD 3,000. If the withdrawal exceeds that amount, please contact support.
