# 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**.

<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.
