X Switches US Creator Payouts to X Money

X, the social‑media platform formerly known as Twitter, has announced that it will now process United States creator payouts through its own X Money payments service. The move effectively replaces the earlier Stripe‑based system that had handled the distribution of earnings to content creators.

The change comes as part of X’s broader effort to streamline its monetization infrastructure and gain greater control over payment flows. Under the new arrangement, creators who earn revenue from subscriptions, tips, and other monetization features will receive funds directly via X Money, with the platform handling all settlement and compliance responsibilities. The company has not yet disclosed specific timelines for the full rollout, but it indicated that the transition will be phased to minimize disruption for creators and partners.

X’s decision to internalize payouts follows a trend among tech firms to reduce reliance on third‑party payment processors, aiming for tighter integration and potentially lower transaction costs. The platform will continue to support its existing creator ecosystem while working to ensure a smooth switch to the new payment system.
