How Payouts Work

​
Your Balance

Your balance shows:
  • Available — Ready to withdraw
  • Pending — Earned but in 7-day hold period
  • Lifetime — Total you’ve ever earned

​
The 7-Day Hold

New referral commissions have a 7-day hold before becoming available.
This protects against chargebacks and fraudulent signups. It’s standard practice.

​

  2. Check your Available balance
  3. Click Request Payout
  4. Confirm the amount
  5. Submit

​
Payout Schedule

Payouts are processed every Friday. Requests made after Friday are included in the next week’s batch.

FAQ

Within 24 hours of your referral’s payment processing, then a 7-day hold before it’s available.
Not directly through LOAF, but once funds are in your bank, you can do what you want with them.
Outstanding available balance can still be withdrawn. Pending commissions may be forfeited depending on circumstances.
The 7-day hold protects against most chargebacks. If a referral disputes their payment after you’ve been paid, LOAF absorbs that risk — not you.
