Cathopic has established a $50 minimum payout threshold. This policy protects contributors from unnecessary transaction fees while ensuring regular payments once you reach sustainable earning levels.
Why the $50 minimum exists
International payment processing involves costs. By waiting until $50, we avoid: payment processing fees consuming small payouts, bank taxes, administrative overhead, and currency conversion fees eating into earnings.
As stated: "A minimum balance of $50 profit is required to avoid bank commissioners tax."
Example accumulation
January: $18 earned → Balance: $18 (carries forward)
February: $22 earned → Balance: $40 (carries forward)
March: $28 earned → Balance: $68 → Payment processed!
