# Creator onboarding

> Onboard creators with one link. The creator verifies their identity, completes
> the right tax form, adds bank details and signs the contract.

## What creators complete
- Identity check (KYC).
- The right tax form for their situation, for example a W-8BEN or W-9.
- Bank details, verified once, for payouts in their local currency.
- Contract signature, using your template, deliverables and rate.

## What your team gets
- One status per creator: ready to pay, contract sent, or chased.
- Automatic reminders until the creator finishes.
- IR35 and tax checks at onboarding, not at payment time.
- Data encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in the UK and EU.
