0 Cecile Marion Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I’ve received emails from Alamy on the first of the month only when I was due a payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 NYCat Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Maybe it has to do with a bank transfer to a US bank. Perhaps our tax system requires it? Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 David Fowler Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 This has come up on the forum before and the criteria for who does and doesn't get the email seems as much of a mystery now as then. Add me to those who have never had this email and I feel a tad deprived! I did wonder if there was an opt in box somewhere but I have looked looked all around my payment details and cannot see one. There is an email preferences box and I am ticked to receive emails from Alamy. I do get other emails (e.g. about the latest POTM challenge on Twitter/Instagram or current buyer trends etc). The only way I know money is on the way is from the Account Balance page where it says Fund Transfer Initiated if I have a payment due. An email would be nice. It would be good if Alamy could respond on this here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the term is used by Alamy in my PDF statement. Maybe they write that just for the U.S. contributors who use a bank transfer. See quote below. ”Paid by direct ACH transfer to your account details held on record in "Your Account"” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spent days looking for how to Change my bank information and finally found it. I believe that there is a check box for emails? I have always gotten one when Alamy is moving money to me.

0 Richard Baker Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 As the original poster, this is the typical email I receive on the first working day of the month: "Hi Richard Your self-billing invoice from Alamy is now ready. We no longer email these directly as attachments. You can access your invoice by following this link: (removed hyperlink) (removed hyperlink) If your VAT status or VAT number changes, please make sure to update this in your contributor dashboard under Payment info. Best regards" etc. I think it's a VAT receipt as it mentions above, so if you're not VAT-registered (obviously incl US contributors), you won't receive the email. I only need it so I can print it off as a remittance record for my annual tax accounts. Hope that's of help in solving this mystery! Richard.

0 Allan Bell Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I do not receive emails either and am NOT VAT registered so I think you have the answer there. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
