If you're a streamer, you probably know the feeling: your audience is active, people want to support you, and then someone asks, “How can I send you something?” And suddenly you’re linking to third-party apps, walking them through extra steps, waiting days (sometimes weeks) for the money to arrive, and silently watching as fees chip away at the final amount. For a space as fast-paced and creative as streaming, monetisation is still surprisingly clunky.
The Pain Points Are Real
- Payout delays — most platforms hold funds or schedule batched withdrawals
- Platform lock-in — many donation tools are tied to specific ecosystems
- High fees — whether it’s processing or platform cuts, creators lose a chunk
- Poor UX — for both streamers and fans, the process is rarely seamless
- Privacy concerns — some tools expose personal info or require extra logins All of this makes it harder for smaller or mid-sized streamers — especially in gaming — to actually earn in real time, even if they’ve built a strong and loyal following.
Creators Deserve Better Tools
The creator economy has evolved. Viewers are more willing than ever to support directly, and audiences respond to transparency and immediacy. But the infrastructure hasn't quite caught up — especially for those operating outside of major partnerships or platforms. There’s clearly room for donation tools that are faster, easier, and better aligned with how people stream today — and how they build communities.
Let’s be honest — most donation tools for streamers still feel like clunky afterthoughts. Delayed payouts, high fees, awkward user flows. Noda, an Open Banking fintech, decided to do something about it. Last week, they launched Noda Prime, a platform built specifically for streamers and content creators who want to make more from donations — without the delays, extra apps, or middlemen. If you stream on Twitch, YouTube, or anywhere else — this is worth a look.
So, What Exactly Is Noda Prime?
Noda Prime is a streamlined, customisable donation platform that lets your viewers tip you instantly — directly into your bank account, PayPal, or card wallet. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up. You get a fully branded donation page with your own widgets, alerts, and smart triggers. Your audience? They don’t have to sign up or enter passwords — just click and pay via bank, card, or PayPal.
“Streamers today need tools that are fast, flexible, and truly creator-friendly,” says Daniil Zakharenkov, Chief Innovation Officer at Noda. “Noda Prime puts creators in control of their income and their interactions.”
Here's How It Works
- Sign up at Noda Prime — no tech skills needed
- Customise your donation page with branding and interaction tools
- Connect your payout method — bank account, PayPal, whatever suits you
- Share your link and start earning — with real-time alerts when someone donates No apps. No friction. Just money in your account the moment someone supports you.
What Makes It Different?
- Instant payouts — Get money directly from your viewer’s bank in seconds
- No logins for fans — No extra steps = more tips
- Lower fees — Thanks to Noda’s Open Banking rails
- Privacy-first — Your personal info stays private
- Full customisation — From colours to widgets
- All major payment methods — Open Banking, PayPal, cards, Google Pay, and more
Streamers Are Already Using It In April 2025, Method (yep, that World of Warcraft guild) raised over $6,000 for Movember using Noda Prime. Their fans donated to trigger interactive moments like on-stream mustaches and word bans.
Twitch Partner Tinylady (69.2k followers) also gave it a try: “Setting up Noda Prime was quick and easy. Now my viewers can support me in real time while interacting with my stream. I receive the money instantly — they love it, and so do I.”
For many streamers, especially in gaming, monetisation still comes with compromises — delayed payouts, platform restrictions, clunky tools. Noda Prime tries to ease some of that friction with a fast, flexible way to accept support on your own terms.
It’s not trying to reinvent streaming. Just fix a part of it that’s long been overdue for improvement.
