How to Withdraw Funds After a Successful Campaign

A step-by-step guide to securely transfer your campaign funds to your bank account or preferred payment method.

Before You Begin

Congratulations on reaching your funding goal! Before you can withdraw your funds, please ensure your campaign meets the following requirements:

📋 Mandatory Requirements

• Your campaign status is marked as "Successful" and the funding period has officially closed.
• Identity & business verification is complete.
• A valid payout method has been added and confirmed.
• The 5-day clearing window has passed.

Step-by-Step Withdrawal Process

1

Log In & Navigate to Payouts

Sign in to your RaiseIt creator dashboard. From the left-hand menu, select "Finance" then "Payouts & Withdrawals".

2

Verify Campaign Status

Ensure your campaign shows a "Funded" badge. If the campaign ended unsuccessfully, funds will be automatically refunded to backers and no withdrawal is possible (unless you opted for Flexible Funding).

3

Confirm Your Payout Method

Click "Add Payout Method" or "Edit" next to your existing account. We support ACH bank transfers, wire transfers, and PayPal. New bank accounts require instant verification or a 2-day micro-deposit confirmation.

4

Initiate Withdrawal

Click the "Withdraw Funds" button. Enter the amount you wish to transfer (full or partial). Review the platform fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) and confirm. You'll receive an email confirmation immediately.

5

Track Processing & Receive Funds

Funds are typically processed within 1-2 business days and deposited within 3-5 business days depending on your bank. Track the status in your dashboard under "Transaction History".

Processing Times & Fees

Payout Method Processing Time Network/Platform Fee
ACH Bank Transfer (US) 3–5 business days 2.9% + $0.30
International Wire 1–3 business days 2.9% + $15.00
PayPal / Stripe Connect 24–48 hours 2.9% + $0.30

Note: RaiseIt holds 10% of successful campaign funds for 14 days post-campaign to cover potential refunds or payment disputes. This reserve is released automatically after the hold period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I withdraw funds before my campaign ends?
No. All funds are held securely during the active campaign period. Withdrawals are only available after the campaign successfully closes and the 5-day clearing window has passed.
What if I entered the wrong bank details?
If you catch it before initiating your first withdrawal, simply go to Finance > Payout Methods and update your information. If a transfer fails due to incorrect details, contact our support team immediately to avoid delays.
Are there limits on how much I can withdraw?
Verified creator accounts have no withdrawal limits. However, unusually large transactions may trigger a brief security review for fraud prevention, which typically resolves within 24 hours.
Do I need to pay taxes on my raised funds?
Crowdfunding rewards are generally considered income. RaiseIt provides IRS Form 1099-K (or international equivalent) annually for campaigns that exceed reporting thresholds. We recommend consulting a tax professional.
