As with any other royalty payment from a digital service provider, there is an estimated reporting and payment schedule for the platform. However, it is important to note that sometimes partner reporting can arrive late and is in turn added to the next reporting period.
If this happens, you can expect a report after a calendar month has passed to cover a month that happened 2 months prior. This is because it can take up to 60 days for Symphonic to receive business email address list poland payment and/or even statements, so we will need a month in between to make sure the payment has been collected before we pay you in full.
To help you out, we've created a comprehensive table that includes estimated posting dates, payment dates, estimated dates to set up splits for payees, and much more. Check out all of that (and more) here .

Some final thoughts…
Before we wrap up, it's important to mention the very real issue of streaming fraud . SoundCloud takes this into account when sending royalties to each of our clients, so it's very important that you implement best practices online as you continue to release music. Even if you're not intentionally engaging in streaming fraud, some seemingly legitimate services may claim to get you thousands of streams or followers overnight, when what they're really doing is using their own bots to game the system.
Whether your involvement in the fraud is intentional or not, you will suffer consequences. Some of these may include having your account blocked or even having it cancelled altogether. Be very careful about how and where you spend your hard-earned money. Always research any company you do business with, talk to previous customers, check out testimonials, and make sure you spend your money wisely.
