If your payment has not been scheduled, please contact your admin/manager from your organization for an update.
Once your organization schedules your payment, you will receive an email notification with the details of your payment. You will be able to review and track your payment from the Payments > History tab to see the pay date.

The conversion rate will be available once your payment is paid. Please find more details here.
Why did I receive a smaller amount than my scheduled payment?
If you received a smaller amount than what was scheduled by your organization, it is typically due to a fee charged by one or more of the intermediary banks involved in processing your payment between our bank and your bank. You can find more information here.
Can I keep my balance on my Plane account?
Regrettably, we don’t offer the option to keep a balance on Plane. Payments are sent directly to the default bank account on the scheduled pay date.

My payment is showing as Approved in our trading platform, but there is no payment on my Plane account. What should I do?
Please contact your manager/admin at your trading organization for details on your payment.
Please note that Plane is a separate platform, so, while the payment is showing as Approved or Paid in your trading dashboard, that does not mean it has been scheduled on Plane.
My company said my payment has been sent. When will I receive it?
Once your organization schedules your payment, you will receive an email notification with the details of your payment. You will be able to review and track your payment from the Payments > History tab to see the Pay date.
There isn't a payment in my Payments tab. What now?
First, check to see if you have multiple profiles. If you have a second profile connected to your account, you will see an arrow beside the company name on the top left of your profile beside the company name.
If you don't have multiple profiles, please contact your manager/admin at your organization for details about your next pay date. Unfortunately, we don't have control over when payments will be scheduled by your organization.
