MixChannel Launches Immediate Cash Back Feature
In a groundbreaking step aimed at supporting streamers and content creators, the live streaming and video app MixChannel has introduced a new feature called "Same-Day Cash Back". Launched by DONUTS Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, this innovative functionality allows users to receive their earnings in as little as zero days starting from April 2026. This marks a significant enhancement over the previous payout timelines, which could take up to 40 days for direct contracts and even longer for those associated with entertainment agencies.
A Response to Creator Demand
The decision to implement the Same-Day Cash Back feature was largely driven by feedback from creators expressing their desire for a quicker access to their earnings. Live streaming and video creation are not just forms of entertainment; they also require continuous financial investment. The new system allows creators to swiftly withdraw their earnings directly to their bank accounts from MixChannel, improving their financial flexibility to refresh streaming equipment or allocate funds for their next creative venture.
With this feature, creators can see immediate benefits to their financial management, gaining a competitive advantage by being able to finance their projects without unnecessary delays. MixChannel is committed to continually enhancing the user experience, focusing on removing stress and barriers for its creators.
Cost-Effective Partnerships
To make this feature even more accessible, users who choose to link their accounts to Minna no Ginko (Everyone's Bank) in Fukuoka can enjoy reduced transaction fees. The system fee for cashing out to this bank is only 200 yen, while withdrawals to other financial institutions incur a fee of 500 yen. This collaboration aims at creating a seamless financial ecosystem that caters specifically to the needs of the digital-native generation.
Continuous Innovations
The collaboration between MixChannel and Minna no Ginko signals a shift in how fintech can be integrated into digital communication platforms. Underpinning this innovation is a robust partnership that has already demonstrated its potential through previous endeavors. For instance, in October 2024, both companies signed a basic agreement concerning financial value creation through banking-as-a-service (BaaS).
In March 2025, they followed this up with the opening of the dedicated "MixChannel Branch" aimed at boosting accessibility and promoting unique financial experiences tailored to their community. In August 2025, they launched a real-time payment service that supports cash transfers directly tied to MixChannel accounts, further solidifying their commitment to enhancing the user experience.
