How do I get paid?
Category: Payments & Claims
You get paid by requesting a payout from your Kick Cashback dashboard; claimed cashback is sent to your nominated Australian bank account by direct bank transfer (receiving banks can take 1-3 business days to show the funds). There's no minimum amount on cashback that's Available, no withdrawal fee, no PayPal middleman, and no gift-card workaround — Kick pays cash to your bank, the same way your employer pays your salary or the ATO sends a tax refund.
The payout flow in five steps
- Earn cashback by shopping through your Kick Cashback portal.
- Wait for it to clear Pending — minutes for most eligible retail, longer for travel, insurance, and subscriptions and any offer whose live terms say otherwise.
- Once it's Available to claim, sign in to kickpay.co.
- Click Request payout, enter the amount and your bank's BSB and account number, confirm.
- Done — the claimed cashback is sent by direct bank transfer. Receiving banks can take 1-3 business days to show the funds.
One note for first-timers: a quick one-time identity check applies to your very first withdrawal only — standard security for any platform paying real money to bank accounts. After that you won't be asked for documents again, though larger or flagged withdrawals may ask for a quick multi-factor code. More on the first-withdrawal ID check.
Why direct bank transfer?
Direct bank transfer is the Australian banking standard for moving money between accounts. It's free for both sides, receiving banks can take 1-3 business days to show the funds, and it works with every Australian bank, building society and credit union. There's no need to install an app, share a phone number, or trust a third-party wallet. Money goes from Kick's bank to your bank, and you'll see it in your normal account balance.
Are there any fees?
No. Kick doesn't charge a withdrawal fee, and your bank doesn't charge to receive an incoming direct credit. Whatever amount you request is what lands in your account.
Is there a minimum?
No. Most Australian cashback platforms require a $10-25 minimum balance before allowing a payout. Kick has no minimum — request any amount, any time. Full minimum-balance explainer.
How fast does the money actually arrive?
Australian bank transfers settle Monday to Friday, excluding national public holidays. A payout requested before 4pm on a business day usually settles 1-2 business days later. A payout requested late Friday or over a weekend typically settles by the following Wednesday. Holiday weekends (Easter, Christmas/New Year, ANZAC Day) can add a day. Detailed timing guide.
What about international currency cashback?
If cashback is recorded in a non-AUD currency, the payout options currently supported for that balance are shown in your Kick account. Manual currency conversion is not currently available. International cashback explainer.
What if I enter the wrong BSB or account number?
The bank rejects the transfer and returns it to Kick. We re-issue the transfer to the corrected details, which adds 2-3 business days. Always double-check your BSB and account number before confirming a payout — a small typo is the most common cause of payout delays.
What about MFA and large claims?
Claims over $500 and any claim flagged by Kick's fraud detection require multi-factor authentication before release. This is a security measure to protect your funds. Full details on claim flow.
Can I get paid via PayPal or gift cards?
No. Kick payouts are bank transfer only. Direct bank is faster, cheaper, and doesn't expose your funds to a third-party platform's terms or fee structure. If your bank doesn't support standard Australian direct credit (rare), email info@kickcashback.com and the team will help you find a workable option.
