In order to ensure your royalties are accounted to you properly and efficiently, you will need to provide us with up-to-date bank details for your AWAL account. Only one bank account can be associated with an AWAL account at a time, and all royalties for the account will be allocated to those bank details when payment is processed. You can edit your bank details at any time in the Settings tab on your Portal, however, please be sure to input updated details by the 3rd of any given month to ensure we can ingest your details in time for payment that month.
Note: You will not be able to access the AWAL Uploader for the first time until you provide us with your bank information.
It’s absolutely vital that your bank details are entered correctly in order to prevent failed payments or bouncebacks. The first step to ensuring we have accurate bank details on hand is to select the correct account type from the ‘Bank Account’ dropdown in the Settings tab on your Portal.
