Questions

In your words, with straight answers.

#Why is there money in my name?

Someone launched a coin on pump.fun and chose you as the person it pays. Every time someone trades that coin, a small creator fee is collected, and all of it is credited to you. People do this to support someone they like: an artist, a streamer, a friend, someone who made their week.

#Is this a scam?

No, and here's how to check. We will never ask for your password, never DM you first, and never ask you to pay anything to receive money. You sign in with X on payday.foundation, type where you want to be paid, and it's sent. Every balance and every payment is public on the site. If anyone asks you to pay a fee up front, that's not us.

#Do I need a wallet?

No. You get paid by the way money already works where you live: UPI, Pix, a bank transfer, M-Pesa, GCash, PayPal, or cash at a counter. Digital dollars are there for people who want them, but you never have to use them.

#How long does it take?

About a minute to claim. Then it depends on how you're paid:

#How much do you take?

15% of what's paid to you. That's all. We spend all of it buying and burning $PAYDAY; we don't keep it. If you give your money to charity, we take nothing.

#Who is Payday?

A service that routes memecoin creator fees to people on X, anywhere in the world, in their own money. Read What Payday is.

#What if my country isn't in the list?

You can still claim by PayPal, a prepaid Visa or gift card, cash pickup, or digital dollars. If we can't legally send to your country at all, your money still waits 90 days in your name and then goes to a charity, in your name. Where we send

#Can I give it to charity?

Yes. Choose "Give it away" when you claim. All of it goes to a charity in your country (or our default), in your name, with no fee.

#What happens if I never claim?

After 90 days, the whole balance goes to a well-known charity in your country, in your name, and we post it. Payday never keeps it. New fees start a new 90-day wait.

#Will you post about me?

When you claim, @UsePaydayApp posts "@you just claimed $X…". You can switch that off on the last screen before you claim. We also post if money goes to charity after 90 days. If you opt out, we never post about you again.

#Do you need my ID or bank login?

No. Sign in with X is the only check. For bank transfers and cash pickup we ask your legal name, because the bank or counter checks it. We never ask for your bank password or card number.

#What do you see when I sign in with X?

Your handle, your profile's location (to suggest your country) and when your account was created. We can't post as you, read your messages or follow anyone.

#Can someone else claim my money?

Only by signing in to X as you. Large claims and claims from new accounts get a human check first. If your X account was taken over, tell us and we'll freeze claims while X gives it back.

#Why did my claim go to review?

Claims over $2,500, and claims from X accounts under 90 days old, get a quick human check. It usually takes less than 24 hours, and your money stays in your name meanwhile.

#My X account is new. Can I claim?

Accounts need to be at least 30 days old. Your money waits in your name; come back then.

#Can I change where I get paid?

Yes, once every 24 hours. Tap "Change where it goes" on your page. Every change is shown on your public page.

#I don't want this. How do I stop it?

Tap "Not interested? Opt out" on your page and sign in with X. Within 24 hours your balance, and every future fee, goes to a charity in your country in your name. No more notices, posts, or listing on the Unclaimed board.

#Someone paid my PayPal automatically. Why?

Your bio or link-in-bio had a payment link (PayPal.me, a UPI ID, Ko-fi and a few others), so we paid you there automatically. You can switch to claiming yourself, or stop it, from your page. Automatic payments

#Do I have to pay tax on this?

Possibly. It depends on where you live and the amount. We send you a receipt for every payment so you have a record. We can't give tax advice.

#Why is my balance going up?

People are still trading the coin, and every 10 minutes we collect the fees and add them to your balance. After you claim, you're paid automatically at milestones and at least weekly. When you're paid
