FreshTunes, a global label services platform for artists, is rolling out a new option for royalty payments. Starting in Q1 2026, artists anywhere in the world will be able to receive their payouts directly to their Visa or Mastercard bank cards. This translates into faster, easier payments for music makers in North and South America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and anywhere not under OFAC sanctions.
Available worldwide at rollout, FreshTunes artists will be able to turn on direct-to-bank-card payments from their FreshTunes account. All they need to do is select the option to withdraw via bank card when making a payment in the Finance section.
These expanded payment options reflect FreshTunes’ commitment to serving overlooked artists making music in markets where payments can take a year or more to reach them. FreshTunes aims to shorten the time to success and remuneration by increasing technological efficiency at every step between file upload and final payout.
