Expense policies
File an invoice only when you are requesting payment for services you personally performed. We can only pay the individual who completed the work -- no third parties or friends. The person who performed the work must be the owner of the account receiving payment.

We have strict requirements for what we can and cannot process. Certain information is required on all invoices, and we cannot process payment if required information is missing. 
If your expense is missing required information or documentation, you will be asked to revise it before processing can begin.  

Processing and Payment: 
  • Expenses are processed twice weekly after approval by a Collective administrator and a secondary OSC review
  • Payments are made via PayPal or Wise (bank transfer)
  • Payments are limited to countries supported by these providers
  • If you use PayPal, you may be required to complete a KYC process

An uploaded invoice is not required -- the information entered in the expense form is sufficient.
If you choose to upload an invoice, address it to:
