You can manage your payout settings by visiting your profile's Settings > Payout Methods.
Payout Times
You can choose between these two processing times in receiving your payouts:
Option | Details |
Daily | Your payouts will be processed daily. |
Monthly | Your payouts will be processed on the 27th of every month.
If the 27th falls on a weekend, the payout will be processed on the next business day. If February 27th is a Sunday, the payout will be processed on March 1.
Charity payments aren't able to be processed monthly. |
Payout Methods
We offer three payout methods, each with different processing times. The payout method you select also determines when payments are processed each day.
Note: Payments are not processed on the first or last days of the month.
HackerOne offers three payout methods for monetary awards:
Payout Method | Processing Time | Description |
PayPal | Monday to Friday at 11:30pm UTC | Payout time is 1-2 days. As soon as the payment is initiated, you'll receive your award instantly, given that your PayPal account is set up to properly receive the amount of money HackerOne is trying to send. |
Bitcoin via Coinbase | Every day at 11pm UTC | Payout time is 1-2 days. You'll receive your award as soon as the payment is processed. |
Bank Transfer (Currencycloud) | Monday to Friday at 9am UTC | Payout time is 1-10 days. You can choose between Normal (local) or Priority (SWIFT) payments. How fast you receive your payout depends on the type of payment you're using as well as your bank. There are cases where hackers have received payments on the same day and cases where hackers have had to wait the full ten business days. Bank transfers can be done in your own local currency. To convert bounties to your local currency, the mid-market rate is used to convert money. This saves you up to 5% compared to relying on your bank to convert the money to your local currency.
Make sure your bank isn’t on the sanctions list. Go to https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/ to check if your bank is on the list. Banks on this list don’t qualify for bank transfers. Examples include VTB and SBERBANK.
Note on payment limits: we attempt to pay the largest payment in a single transaction allowed to us by the currency exchanges. This will vary by currency and whether it is a Priority or Regular payment. See the chart below for more details. |

Choosing between SWIFT and Local payment
| SWIFT | Local |
Availability | Most currencies | Fewer currencies available |
Fees | Fees imposed by banks | Does not impose a bank fee |
Speed | Slightly slower | Slightly faster |
Maximum payment size per single transaction (USD) | unlimited | Depending on the currency and exchange rate, from about $15,000 USD, to unlimited. Payments due that are larger than the single transaction limit will be split up into multiple transfers |
You will automatically be guided to the options available for your bank and currency when you create your bank transfer payout preference in settings.
Generally, local delivery is best if you receive small payments as it is faster and has fewer fees. Note that even if your currency doesn’t support local delivery or SWIFT, you can ask for USD to be delivered to your bank - the only caveat is that your bank will likely give you a less favorable exchange rate, and you will need to test that yourself.

Keep in mind:
When receiving a payout through a bank transfer, the payout must meet the minimum amount for the type of payment before it can be sent:
Swift payment minimum: $100
Local payment minimum: $50
The minimum is the cumulative of all payments pending for that user. For example, if you have $1 from one award and $49 pending from another, the 2 payments will be grouped into one payout of $50, which enables it to meet the local payment minimum transaction amount.
