# Set up direct deposit from creator platforms
Karat makes it easy to receive payouts directly from creator platforms and payment providers.
To direct your earnings to Karat Banking, you'll need to update your payout
settings on each platform you use. Find your platform below for step-by-step
instructions.
You'll need your Karat Banking account and routing number before you start.
You can find these in your dashboard under **Banking > Account Info**.
Several platforms including X/Twitter, Kick, Fourthwall, Stan Store, and
TikTok use Stripe to process payouts. If your platform isn't listed below,
look for a "Manage with Stripe" option in its payout settings and follow
the Stripe steps.

4. Click **Add payment method** and enter your Karat Banking account
details: account holder name, bank name, routing number, and account
number. Double-check for typos.

Depending on your country, AdSense may deposit a small test amount to
verify the account. If prompted, return to AdSense and enter the exact
amount to complete verification.

provided you meet the payment threshold.
