How long does it take to get paid
Stripe has an initial holding period that is necessary for complying with anti-money laundering regulations and to reduce the risk of fraud. Make sure your business and bank details account in your Stripe account are correct.
The 1st payout to your bank account is made 7 - 10 days after the first payment.
After this 1st holding period, the time it takes to transfer the money to your bank account depends on where you’re located. In the United States and Australia, it typically takes up to 2 business days. For Canada and EU it can take up to 7 business days.
Card payments are handled by Stripe and not Billdu. All processed or declined payments and deposits to your bank are handled exclusively by Stripe. If you do not see your funds in your bank account, please check your Stripe Dashboard for a current payment status or your Stripe settings.
