Frequently asked questions
Can Spotify or ONErpm payouts go straight to an Armenian bank account?
No. Music distributors and streaming services don't send direct SWIFT transfers to Armenia. The service includes setting up the route through a Payoneer business account, which those platforms officially support.
Do I need an Armenian passport or registration?
No. It's all arranged remotely under a power of attorney, with no visit to Armenia.
Is there a risk of Spotify or ONErpm blocking the account?
Risks arise only with grey, purchased accounts. Registering an official sole trader in your own name evidences your lawful status in the new jurisdiction to the platforms, so blocks don't happen.
What documents are needed to start?
All you need to start is a passport. The rest of the documents and the powers of attorney for the tax authority and the bank are prepared by the company's lawyers.
Which bank is used to receive the payouts?
A reliable Armenian bank that welcomes non-residents, with a convenient mobile app, which receives incoming Payoneer transfers in US dollars or euros without trouble.
