Request a Withdrawal

4 min read
4 steps
Updated May 2026
Once approved earnings have also cleared the payout-release step, you can move them from distributeme to your linked wallet. The main thing is to withdraw the money that is actually available, choose the right wallet, and keep an eye on the status until the transfer clears. This guide covers the checks that keep the withdrawal process clean and predictable.
1

Check What Is Actually Ready to Withdraw

Open your wallet and look at the amount marked Available to Withdraw. Pending campaign payouts and approved work that is still waiting for payout release are not the same thing as money that is ready to leave your balance.

2

Choose the Wallet You Want to Use

Make sure the selected wallet is the one you want to receive the money. If you do not see a wallet to send to, link one first before you try to withdraw.

3

Enter the Amount and Send the Request

Enter the amount you want to withdraw and submit the request. The minimum request is GHS 2.00, and Mobile Money transfers include a GHS 1.00 processing fee.

4

Watch the Status Until It Clears

After you send the request, keep an eye on the wallet area. If the transfer is still moving, you will see Withdrawal in Progress and can check the status again from there.

Best Practices
  • Link your wallet before your first expected payout
  • Account for the GHS 2.00 minimum and the GHS 1.00 Mobile Money fee
  • Use the withdrawal status to follow progress instead of guessing
Common Mistakes to Avoid
  • Treating pending campaign work as withdrawable balance
  • Forgetting the GHS 1.00 Mobile Money fee when choosing an amount
  • Trying to withdraw before a wallet is linked

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I withdraw without a linked wallet?

No. Link and verify a withdrawal wallet before requesting a withdrawal.

Why can I see earnings but still not withdraw them?

Because only the amount marked Available to Withdraw is ready to move. Pending campaign work and approved earnings that have not been released yet do not count as withdrawable balance.

Can I link multiple wallets?

Yes. There's no limit to the number of wallets you can link.

What fees or limits apply?

Mobile Money transfers include a GHS 1.00 processing fee, and you need at least GHS 2.00 in a withdrawal request before it can be sent.

What does Withdrawal in Progress mean?

It means the withdrawal request has been sent and is still being processed. Use the status check in the wallet area to follow it until it clears.
