Getting started as an agency
A complete walkthrough for setting up your agency on ModelsVault — from KYC to your first model earning.
Welcome to ModelsVault. This guide walks you through everything you need to do to get your agency fully operational — from identity verification to your first model earning.
Before you begin
- You'll need a government-issued photo ID and proof of address for KYC
- Have your agency's business details ready (name, address)
- Prepare the email addresses of any models you want to invite
Step 1 — Complete KYC verification
KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is required before your agency can process payouts. It verifies your identity and protects the platform.
Go to Agency → Settings → Verification
Find the Verification tab in your agency settings.
Click "Start verification"
This opens the Stripe Identity flow in a secure modal.
Upload your documents
Upload a government-issued photo ID (passport or driving licence) and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement dated within 3 months).
Submit and wait for approval
Approval typically takes 24–48 hours. You'll receive an email notification when approved.
Tip: You can continue setting up your agency while KYC is pending. Payouts are held until verification is complete, but everything else works immediately.
Step 2 — Add your first model
There are two ways to add models to your agency:
- Email invite — for new models who don't have a ModelsVault account yet
- By @username — for existing solo models who already have an account
Step 3 — Connect your platforms
Add the cam and content platforms your models work on. Each connection enables automatic earnings tracking.
Step 4 — Set earnings rates
Configure how earnings are split between your agency and your models. You can set a default rate per model and override it per platform.
Step 5 — Set up the Social Hub
Twitter/X is already configured. Add Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook credentials to enable cross-platform posting for all your models.
Once your agency is set up, models can log in at /model/dashboard to see their earnings, connect social accounts, and manage their profile.
