As an ebook publisher or author, you are aware that you could get more sale as well as huge royalty from KDP ( Kindle Direct Publishing) platform rather than any other ebook platform such as Apple iBooks, Google Play store, Kobo, etc.,

If you are a US citizen then you are very lucky because you can get your royalty directly deposited to your US bank account or else you can get paid from KDP via Payoneer.

If you are from NonUS, then Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform only transfer the royalty you received from Amazon.com market place and amazon market place located in your country.

For example, if you are from India then the royalty you received from amazon.com and Amazon.in marketplaces is directly deposited to your Indian bank account through Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) and there is no Minimum threshold limit for EFT.

But the royalty you earned from other amazon marketplace such as amazon.ca, amazon.co.jp, amazon.es, etc can be received via checks only if your royalty amount crosses the minimum threshold limit of individual marketplaces.

I’m going to tell you a genuine way to receive the royalty from all the Amazon marketplaces and deposit it directly to your bank account with the help of Payoneer.

You don’t need to wait until it reaches the minimum threshold limit. It’ll be automatically credited to your local bank account once your royalty reaches the payment date.
