Commission fees
Contra is 100% commission-free — we will never take a commission from your earnings.
Payment processor fees
These are fees charged by the payment processor, not Contra — this includes Stripe, Airwallex, PayPal, Payoneer, and Coinbase. Payment processor fees are always passed on to the Independent and are visible at the time of withdrawal. The amount charged varies based on factors such as the payout account type, location, and destination currency.
For a breakdown of fees for each payout method, see this guide.
Currency conversion fees
On Contra, funds are always paid in USD. This means that anytime an Independent makes a payout to a non-USD account (which is common), the payment processor automatically converts the funds from USD to the user’s local currency. These fees are charged by the payment processor, not Contra — this includes Stripe and Airwallex.
