There are hundreds of payment methods available today. Some of them might suit you better, others not so much.
Besides, there are new clients who sometimes don’t know which payment systems work with which ad network. Or which of those hundreds of methods to choose.
In this post, we’ve gathered all the up-to-date information on the payment methods supported by the ad networks AdSpyglass works with.
Top 5 payout methods
We’ve recently made research and found out that every second ad network issues payouts via Paxum and every third network uses Bitcoin. The research allows us to safely say these 5 payment methods are the most popular among the ad networks AdSpyglass works with.
PayPal
PayPal is one of the most popular online payment systems in the world. It makes sending and receiving money easy and straightforward. And you don’t need to share your financial information with third parties which makes it very secure. All you need to do to receive funds via PayPal is link your bank card with the system. These are the main reasons why PayPal is supported by most of the ad networks.
The countries it works in
PayPal is available in over 200 countries and works with over 25 currencies. You can find the full list of the countries here. Make sure to read the information on your country carefully, in some places PayPal is available to send payments only, receiving funds to an account is not possible in those countries.
Please note – PayPal recently announced it will stop working in Russia.
Fees and commissions
Full list of PayPal fees and commissions for various transactions can be found here.
Verification process
PayPal will ask you to provide documentation to prove your address. Usually, they ask for a copy of a recently paid utility bill.
Another thing you need to activate your PayPal account is a verified bank account or credit card. The verification of the bank info is quite simple, the system will provide you with all the details.
The whole verification process might take 3-5 business days.
Pros and Cons
| cons | pros |
| 5% fee on transactions within the PayPal system, which is huge | Many ad networks reduce the fee to 2%, and some even pay it themselves |
| unfavorable exchange rate | no fee for withdrawal to a local bank account |
| slow and inadequate customer support | can be used to buy stuff online |
| they can freeze your balance for all sorts of reasons, unfreezing it will take quite a lot of effort | available almost everywhere, so almost everyone is familiar with it |
Overall, PayPal is considered to be an expensive yet very convenient choice for payouts.
Payoneer
Payoneer is another immensely popular payment method that allows sending and receiving funds without sharing any sensitive information. Payoneer is a worldwide Member Service Provider of Mastercard. This means you can have a Payoneer prepaid card issued for you. The platform allows withdrawing money directly via a debit card, sending and receiving funds internationally and locally.
The countries it works in
Payoneer is a global payment service, it works in over 200 countries worldwide and allows to receive local bank transfers from the US, UK, EU, Japan, Canada, Australia, and Mexico.
Please note – Payoneer has recently suspended the ability for new customers in Russia to use their services.

Verification process
Just like PayPal and Payoneer, Paxum requires you to go through a short verification process. They will ask for a copy of your ID with a picture and proof of address. The verification process takes up to one week.
Pros and Cons
| cons | pros |
| you can send funds from Paxum only to your own bank accounts | cheap p2p transfer to other Paxum users |
| you can get a prepaid Paxum card |
Paxum is a cheaper choice. And if you think you might get banned by PayPal, Paxum is definitely the best option.
Wire transfer
The good old bank-to-bank (wire transfer) transaction is still a very popular way of receiving payouts from ad networks. It is not as convenient as the modern online payment methods. But a lot of people choose it simply because it is a sure and familiar payment method.
The countries it works in
Obviously, wire transfer is available in any country where there is a bank. So there are no limits to it when it comes to availability in your country. Though due to the current situation and the sanctions placed on many Russian banks there might be issues with sending and receiving funds there. Check with your bank if you can receive incoming payments from the ad networks this way.
Fees and commissions
Please refer to your bank for information on the fees and commissions.
Verification process
The verification process is up to your bank.
Pros and Cons
| cons | pros |
| it might take a couple of days to process your payout | familiar method |
| Commission fees for receiving funds are high | direct payments to your bank |
| you’ll have to share your financial information with third parties |
Crypto
In the last few years, crypto has firmly integrated itself into the world of online payments. It is the most secure way of sending and receiving funds. Yes, for a beginner it is not as straightforward as getting payments to PayPal, for example. But more and more people are getting familiar with it and we are pretty sure crypto will surpass PayPal’s popularity in the upcoming years.
The most popular cryptocurrencies in the digital advertising field are Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), and Ethereum (ETH).
The countries it works in
Crypto itself has no limitations when it comes to countries, you can send and receive the coins wherever you are. But converting them into national currencies can be a problem. For example, some of the previously available exchange platforms are not working in Russia anymore.
Fees and commissions
Please check with the exchange platform you use for more information on the fees and commissions.
Verification process
Every exchange platform has a verification process of its own. Usually, it is a pretty standard request to provide your id with a photo and proof of address.
Pros and Cons
| cons | pros |
| BTC exchange rate is very unstable | popular method |
| cases of stollen coins and wallets are numerous and neverending | easy registration |
| fiscal authorities are wary of this payment method |
This method will be the best choice for the tech-savvy and those who believe in saving money in crypto rather than in the traditional methods of accumulation.
Webmoney
If you look at the infographic at the beginning of this article you’ll see that Webmoney is 3rd by popularity. But the paragraph is called 5 top payment methods, not 6. There’s a reason for it.
Webmoney is an international online payment settlement system established in Russia. It is a big player in the online payments field in countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus.
But due to the war in Ukraine, most of the ad networks stopped receiving funds from advertisers via Webmoney. They will still pay the payouts to the publishers if there’s any balance left.
We are pretty sure Webmoney will soon become obsolete. We thought you should be aware of this.

Which payment method should you go for?
Now that you know which payment methods are the most popular ones, how do you decide which one to choose?
