Setting Up Payment Method
Before you can receive payments for your event work, you need to configure your payment method on EventMann. This guide walks you through adding your bank details, setting preferences, and ensuring your tax information is up to date.
Adding Bank Details
- Navigate to Payment Methods — from your sidebar, click "Payment Methods".
- Click "Add Payment Method" — select your preferred method: bank transfer (SEPA/IBAN for EU, ACH for US, or local bank transfer).
- Enter your bank details — provide your account holder name, IBAN or account number, bank name, and BIC/SWIFT code. Double-check all details for accuracy.
- Verify your account — EventMann may send a micro-deposit (a small amount like €0.01) to verify your account. Confirm the amount in the platform to complete verification.
- Set as default — if you have multiple payment methods, click "Set as Default" to choose which account receives your earnings.
Important: You must have a verified payment method before accepting any paid event roles. Without a payment method, you can only apply for volunteer (unpaid) positions.
Payment Preferences
Customise how and when you receive payments:
- Payout frequency — choose between per-event payouts or weekly batch payouts
- Minimum payout threshold — set a minimum amount before a payout is triggered (e.g. €50)
- Currency preference — select your preferred currency for payouts
Tax Information
Depending on your location and earnings, you may need to provide tax information:
- Tax identification number (TIN) or VAT number
- Self-employment registration details (if applicable)
- W-9 form (for US-based staff)
EventMann generates annual earnings summaries that you can download for tax filing purposes. Navigate to Payments → Tax Documents at year-end.
Tip: Use a dedicated bank account for your event work earnings. This makes accounting and tax filing much simpler at the end of the year.
