For payments to be made to you, you must add a mode of payment. You can receive your payouts via Electronic Fund Transfer or PayPal. To add your preferred mode of payment, follow the instructions below.
InMobi follows a payout cycle of 60 days meaning your earnings for a given month will be credited to you at the end of the 60-day payout cycle.
You must upload the tax forms depending on the payment country.
We can process payments once your cumulative earnings exceed the minimum payment threshold set. The threshold range must be between $300 - $10000.
InMobi publishers are paid on Net 60 terms. This means your monthly earnings will be automatically paid within 60 days after the end of that month, provided your account qualifies and you have crossed the minimum payout threshold. The minimum limits are $300 for wire transfers and $50 for PayPal.
For example, earnings from January 1st to January 31st will be paid out in April of the same year.
For accounts registered in India or Singapore, uploading an invoice is mandatory. Refer to the sample format below, which publishers need to use to generate the invoices. If your account is registered in either of these countries, send your invoice to: bd-finance@inmobi.com.
You must add at least one placement and ad unit for your apps or websites to generate ad revenue. A placement is a place and time displayed on the ad in your app, and the ad unit is the ad format.
