Pay royalties with confidence
When your royalties data lives in one place and your payments are sent from another, the space between is where mistakes happen. Amounts are mistyped, banking info isn’t updated, and returned payments are inevitable.
We built the bridge so you don’t have to. Integrated payments mean your royalties and your payouts stay in sync without manual entry or context switching. There’s one clean line from the “pay” button to your artists’ bank accounts.
Royalty Workflows, Designed to Keep You on Track
With Tone, you get a predictable and forward-looking payments workflow that sets you up for success by centralizing information and automating data entry.
- Seamless Handoffs: Initiate payments directly from Tone once statements are published.
- Automated Payment Reporting: Payments made through Tone are applied to your next royalty calculation.
- Balance Roll Over: Unpaid balances automatically roll over to the next royalty period so your team doesn't have to manually enter this information.
- Payee Management: Your artists upload tax and banking information via their individual portals, no more chasing down this info.
Global Scale, Simplified
Pay artists and partners around the world without juggling different banking tools, regional processes, or conversion calculators.
- Currency Conversion: With dynamic exchange rates built in, you can pay in local currencies without doing any math yourself.
- Single Workflow: A consistent process for domestic and international payees.
Your payout cycle stays consistent and predictable, no matter how fast you grow or how global your roster becomes.
Clarity, Control, and Consistency for Your Artists
After setting up a payment method, artists receive royalties like a pay check through direct deposit.
- Payments are received typically 1-3 business days from sending.
- Banking and tax info is only updated in one, secure place. They can reference and edit their preferences whenever they want without needing your help.
- Less support required of you since your artists can find the information they need on their Tone account.
