Our verdict on Paxum

Paxum suits a webmaster, model or studio paid by adult ad networks or affiliate programs that already pay through Paxum: a transfer between two Paxum accounts is instant and costs cents.

Getting money out costs more, with a $50 USD wire to your own bank account. Sites that run on cryptocurrency have no place at Paxum.

How much Paxum costs

A transfer from another Paxum user costs $0.25 on a personal account and $1.00 on a business account, and arrives instantly. The euro IBAN receives wires and SEPA for free, and a third-party euro wire in costs 0.5%, with a $10 minimum. The account is free if used at least once in six months, $5 otherwise, and closing it can cost up to $50.

A wire to your own bank account costs $50 in USD, $40 in EUR and $25 in another currency. Local bank transfers, available in over 50 countries and 20 currencies, cost $5 to your own account. Sending to a card other than Paxum’s costs $6 plus 4%.

Who uses Paxum in the adult industry

Paxum is built for paying and getting paid within the trade: a business account pays many people at once, a personal account receives earnings and spends them. Its home page carries testimonials from the JuicyAds ad network, the NScash program and the host MojoHost, and YourPaysitePartner says it pays its affiliates exclusively through Paxum.

You apply online with your documents, and pre-approval is advertised within 24 hours.

The Paxum prepaid card

The UnionPay prepaid card costs $10 to issue and $3.75 a month. An ATM withdrawal costs $2 plus 1%, with 3.5% FX on top outside the card currency. The virtual card costs $1 to issue and $2.95 a month.

The bank behind Paxum

Paxum Bank Limited, based in Roseau, is an offshore bank licensed in the Commonwealth of Dominica and supervised by the country’s Financial Services Unit. It serves non-resident clients. Its platform terms also name a Quebec company, Gestion Paxum Bank Limited, in Dollard-des-Ormeaux. No deposit guarantee scheme is published.

Paxum vs Yoursafe

Yoursafe is the Dutch e-money institution behind Verotel: a Verotel merchant receives sales there, sends them out by SEPA, wire, ACH or US check, and pays models into Yoursafe Talent accounts. A webmaster whose partners pay through Paxum opens a Paxum account, one who sells through Verotel keeps funds at Yoursafe.
