Frequently Asked Questions

Online Payment Processor:

I am under 18 years old can I still join?

Technically, you must be 18 above to create an Paypal or Alertpay account and we all want to do this legally and clean, since it's about money we are talking about. What you can do is to ask relative (parents or siblings) who are old enough, if they can open an account which you can use personally (both online processor and local bank). Remember, to avoid hassles payment processor name and local bank account owner should be the same.

Can I still join if my account is still unverified?

Yes. You can still get paid with this kind of account BUT there are several limitations with this kind of account. Some site do accept payments from unverified account and some don't. Plus, You won't be able to withdraw your funds to your local bank.
