Ensure the correct bank account details are added to your event

Updated over a week ago

You can create multiple bank accounts within your Humanitix account and nominate them to individual events. You can also set a default bank account that will apply to all future events.

To prevent delays in your event payout, Humanitix strongly recommends:

  • You have nominated a bank account for your event(s)

  • The bank account details provided are correct

Note: For security, only the account that owns an event (by creating the event or transferring ownership) can add or update the bank account.

If someone has given you access to an event, you cannot add or update the bank account for that event.

Payouts and Stripe:

A bank account in Humanitix is only required for ticket sales transacted via the Humanitix Payment Gateway.

If you have connected Stripe, your ticket sales will go directly into your Stripe account and will not be managed by Humanitix.

You must ensure you have provided your bank details in your Stripe dashboard.


* Humanitix always manages Afterpay and ZipPay sales (where available) and are not paid into your Stripe account


How to add a new bank account to your event

Event payouts must be paid to a bank account in the event’s selected currency.

Commonly asked questions

Can you split an event payout to multiple bank accounts?

No, event payouts cannot be split into different bank accounts. Payouts are made in lump sum to the single bank account nominated for an event.

My event has been paid out to the wrong account

If you believe an event has been paid out to a wrong account please contact the Humanitix support team as soon as possible via the messenger after logging in or via [email protected].


If you believe your account details are incorrect, please ensure you update these details immediately on your Humanitix event.

While there is no guarantee, payouts to incorrect bank details will typically "bounce back" to Humanitix within 1-3 business days. The Humanitix team can reprocess a payout to the correct bank account once funds have been returned. Humanitix can only process payouts to the account nominated for the event within the Humanitix console.

If your event payout has been transferred into an active account, the funds have been received. You will need to contact the bank account owner or manage the transfer of funds, if possible.
