Alipay on this page is an account you receive money into — it is not a payment method for your buyers.
Adding a Payout Account
1
Verify your identity first
The holder name on every payout comes from your legal name, so you can’t add an account without a verified identity. See Identity Verification.
2
Open Payout Accounts
Click your avatar in the top-right and select Payout Accounts.
3
Pick the region and method, enter the account
Choose the receiving account’s country / region, currency and payout method, then fill in the fields that method needs. The holder name comes from your identity — you don’t type it.
4
Save
On the first payout to a new account the bank checks the holder name against your legal name; once it matches, the account is marked Verified.
Supported Regions and Payout Methods
- Payout currency: your balance and payout amounts are in USD, converted at the rate when you submit the payout into your payout account’s currency: CNY for mainland China, SGD for Singapore, JPY for Japan, KRW for South Korea, and USD for Hong Kong and the United States. The final credited amount is whatever the payout actually delivers; Hong Kong accounts are credited in USD as-is, with HKD accounts opening later.
- Bank list: the list is the set of banks the payout channel supports today; banks outside it can’t receive payouts yet.
- Japanese accounts: enter only the 7-digit account number, with the branch code in its own field. Japanese banks match the katakana name registered on the account; if it differs from the Latin name in your identity, the payout may bounce — contact support.
- Alipay limits: RMB 50,000 per payout and RMB 300,000 per recipient per year; use a bank card for larger amounts.

Managing Accounts
- Add: within one region and currency, the same card or Alipay account can be added only once.
- Delete: allowed when no payout to that account is in progress.
- Change: accounts can’t be edited — delete and add again.
- Choosing the destination: there is no default account; you pick one on every payout. Payouts are irreversible, so one extra click beats sending to the wrong account.
Common Issues
Why can't I add a payout account?
Why can't I add a payout account?
Usually an incomplete identity. Fill in the missing fields on Profile and try again — see Identity Verification.
Why can't I change the holder name?
Why can't I change the holder name?
It comes from your verified legal name, which prevents typos from bouncing a payout. Change the legal name on Profile; if it’s locked, contact support.
Can I add the same card twice?
Can I add the same card twice?
Not within the same region and currency. Hong Kong is the exception: one card can be added once for HKD and once for USD (HKD opens later).
My bank isn't on the list.
My bank isn't on the list.
Banks outside the list can’t receive payouts yet. Use an account at a listed bank, Alipay (mainland China) or PayNow (Singapore), or contact support.
My payout failed with A0016: Bank code is not supported
My payout failed with A0016: Bank code is not supported
The account’s bank code isn’t on the channel’s supported list — usually an account entered by hand before the bank picker existed. Delete it and add it again, choosing the bank from the list.
