YouTube creators sometimes make the same mistakes as first-time startup founders when it comes to managing payments. After years of building MilX, a financial hub designed for creators, we’ve seen these same missteps happen over and over.

Getting paid when you need it: a simple idea, right? But with YouTube, it doesn’t work that way. Your revenue is locked in YouTube’s monthly payout cycle. You just sit there staring at the numbers in your analytics, waiting.

Getting the lowest fees as a YouTube creator isn’t rocket science. It’s still a science, though—one that’s about knowing your options and picking what works best. After years of building MilX, we’ve learned a lot about saving on transfers.

Creators pour time and energy into their channel, and it shows. But when it comes to getting paid for all that hard work, it feels like you’re stuck in slow motion. YouTube makes you wait until the end of each month to access your earnings from the previous month.
