Title: How do I sign up for direct deposit on istock?
Post by: sweetgirll on March 12, 2011, 00:23

Hi guys,
I only see the form to get a prepaid mastercard, but I don't see any form to apply for an account to use the direct deposit....

I wouldn't be too keen on giving istock direct access to my bank account. They will probably write in a clause to allow them to suck out "fraud" money on a regular basis.

I think the DD stuff is through payoneer or something.

Seriously!! 

Your personal account information would probably be more secure if you published it on a blog or something, than with Istock.  :P

Use paypal and then have it sent from paypal to your account.

It is through payoneer, for US only I believe. I did a test run of $100 and it worked fine. I've been getting weekly direct deposits for the full amount requested ever since (couple years now). It is payoneer that puts the money in, not iStock. Have never had any issues, highly recommended.

Paypal has such awful exchange rates. :( I think it's time for me to open a US bank account because every week the exchange rate to CAD is worse.

Adam what is the turnaround time for that once Payoneer gets the funds from iStock?
