How creator/brand profile ownership is confirmed and why this matters for payout trust.
The platform checks that the user actually controls the relevant creator/brand profile or represents the brand or company behind it.
Verification may rely on e-mail, social/OAuth, manual review, ownership evidence, and additional supporting materials.
The payout verification status may be unverified, pending_review, needs_info, verified, or rejected.
Movement between these states depends on the materials submitted, payout review decisions, and the outcome of manual checks.
In the current runtime, only the verified profile/status allows a withdrawal request to proceed. In other words, a verified profile/status is required before a withdrawal request can proceed. It still does not replace manual payout/KYC review, which may apply separately depending on risk, amount, or PSP requirements.
The verification page explains ownership review, claim channels, and the relation between profile verification and the payout/KYC layer.
