WHAT'S YOUR VENMO? ASKING FOR SOUNDEXCHANGE

SoundExchange has added PayPal and Venmo as royalty distribution payment options for copyright holders.

The two payment alternatives join CashApp and Zelle, which SoundExchange started using last year.

“SoundExchange is the only collective to offer creators the option of receiving royalties via mobile payment apps on a monthly basis,” said SoundExchange President and CEO Michael Huppe. “We always strive to meet creators where they are and to simplify their payments/compensation/royalties. By adding PayPal and Venmo to our suite of mobile app payment options, we continue to show what’s possible when adopting technologies and tools that streamline the business of music for all creators.”

Payment via PayPal is an immediately available option for domestic and international registrants. Clients are encouraged to use SXDirect, which offers self-service opt-ins for all payment methods SoundExchange currently offers.
