X is changing how it pays U.S. creators, moving creator payout processing from Stripe to its own payments service, X Money. Starting September 2, payouts for creators in the United States are processed through X Money rather than the prior Stripe-powered setup.
The change applies to creators who participate in X’s Original Content Rewards Program and to those receiving subscription revenue. Both outlets report the same core transition: X is using X Money to handle payouts as it expands the role of its financial products within the platform. TechCrunch frames the move as a shift away from a Stripe-based system, while PYMNTS focuses on X’s broader payments integration and the specific payout categories affected.
While the articles agree on the processing change and effective date, they provide limited additional detail about the terms for creators, how funds are routed, or whether Stripe remains involved behind the scenes. The reports primarily describe the front-end operational switch to X Money for U.S. payouts.
