3.10 - HOW SAFE / SECURE / PRIVATE IS UENME?

UenMe uses end-to-end encryption to secure all of your video calls. Translation: all video communication is 100% private between you and the person on the other end!

To connect to other users, all that's necessary is sharing the username you choose. UenMe does not require you to disclose your legal name, phone number, or email address to use the app, which further protects your privacy. You may be required to dislose that information if you are buying or cashing-out your Uens

4.1 - WHAT ARE UENS?

Uens (pronounced You-Ens) are the currency that the UenMe app uses to charge and pay for calls. 1 Uen is equivalent to 25 cents USD when you cash out.

After purchasing uens, you can use them to video chat with UenMe users such as experts, professionals, and social media influencers, who often charge for their time chatting on the app.

Purchase and use of Uens are governed by the UenMe Terms of Use, available HERE.

4.2 - HOW CAN I BUY UENS? WHAT METHODS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?

Tap in the bottom right corner of the app to go to your dashboard, then tap the Add Uens button. (Look for the button with the + sign.) You can use the dial to select the number of Uens you'd like to purchase, before you tap Buy Uens to enter your payment details. (Screenshots HERE)

Depending how many Uens someone buys, there will be a small fee added to the transaction. This is how UenMe can deliver on our promise to give 100% of the Uens earned to anyone selling their time.

Purchased uens can be used for up to 30 days from the time of purchase.

4.3 - HOW CAN I EARN UENS? WHERE DO I CHANGE THE AMOUNT I WANT TO CHARGE PER MINUTE?

You can set or change your rate any time from your dashboard! Tap in the bottom right corner of the app, then adjust the dial accordingly. Once updated, your rate will save automatically!

You can also adjust your rate for individual calls - See the next three questions for details.

4.4 - CAN I PAY A DIFFERENT AMOUNT FOR A CALL?

Maybe! When you place your call, you can adjust the dial to offer a different amount from that user's regular rate. Your offer may or may not be accepted, or they may not allow free or reverse charge calls at all.

If a user declines to chat for less, your best bet is try calling at their regular rate. You can also try messaging a user to negotiate a price before a call!

4.5 - CAN I CALL SOMEONE AND EARN UENS?

You can call most users and charge for your time! When you place your call, just adjust the dial to the number of uens you would like to earn per minute. If a user does not allow free or reverse charge calls, the app will notify you.

When answering a call, users will see a red screen indicating that they are paying.

4.6 - WHAT IF I ONLY WANT TO ACCEPT PAID CALLS?

If you do not want to allow free calls or reverse charge calls, you can block these types of calls.

Tap in the bottom right corner of the app to go to your dashboard, scroll down and tap Settings, then adjust the switch to indicate whether you'd like to block or allow free and reverse charge calls.

You will still be able to make calls free and reverse charge calls to any users who allow them, regardless of your own settings.

4.7 - HOW CAN I SEE HOW MANY UENS I'VE EARNED OR SPENT?

During any paid call, you will see how many uens you have spent or earned during the call - The number of uens will be ticking up at the bottom of your screen. At the end of your call, it will confirm the total number of uens earned or spent.

To see your total uens currently available, tap in the bottom right corner of the app - Your dashboard will display your current balance in the center of your screen. 

4.8 - HOW DO I TRADE IN MY UENS FOR MONEY? CAN I GET PAID, EVEN IF I'M NOT IN THE UNITED STATES?

Tap in the bottom right corner of the app to go to your profile, then tap the Cash Out button. (Look for the button with the little stack of coins.) Complete your details and payment information and tap Save when you're done!

You can request to cash out two ways: direct deposit ACH (to any US-based bank account), or using a global payments partner (from any country supported)*. For both methods, payments will be listed on your statement from UenMe, LLC.

Please see sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 for more details on regulations and rules regarding cash outs.

*Local laws and rules apply. Please check with your global payments partner for more information about current exchange rates / fees for receiving money in your country.

4.9 - WHERE CAN I FIND MY BANK'S ROUTING NUMBER AND MY ACCOUNT NUMBER?

To receive your cash outs to a US-based bank account, you'll need to enter your real name, phone number, email address, routing and account number. If you have a check handy, click HERE for a guide on where to find these on your check. If you do not have a check, you should contact your bank for help finding your routing and account numbers.

If you do not have a US-based bank account, you should set your payment preferences to receive payments via a global payments partner instead!

4.10 - HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET PAID? (Hint, we pay weekly)

Our accounting department processes payment requests once a week. Whether you've cashed out once or a dozen times that week, all cash out requests wait in the "queue" until our accounting folks can process them.

UenMe distributes earnings one weekly by the end of the day every Friday.

All cash-out requests made by noon the Tuesday prior to that distribution day are bulked together and paid in a single payment.

Global payment distribution funds are usually available under the terms of that global payment provider.

Bank / ACH distributions take several business days for YOUR bank to process. Your distribution funds are generally available two to three business days after distribution in your account.

Things that might delay your cash out:
- You haven't completed your banking or global payments details yet
- There is an error with your banking or global payments information
- You have entered bank information for a non-US-based bank account
- Your cash outs do not total the minimum payout threshold (see section 4.11)
- Verification of your transactions or payment details is taking longer than expected

After your cash out is initiated, the uens that are queued for payment will no longer display in your UenMe account but you can check the status of your earnings and distribution 24/7 using the Seller Console in the cash-out section of the app. You can also contact customer support for a status update. You can email support@uenme.co for an updateand we will help you out.

4.11 - ARE THERE FEES, MINIMUMS, OR LIMITS ON CASHING OUT?

The minimum amount UenMe can approve to be paid out is $20.00 USD for payouts to a global partner account or $30 to be paid out to a US-based bank account.

There are no fees to cash-out. None, zip, nada, zero, nothing.

Only Uens you earn can be cashed out. If you purchased uens or received uens for free from an admin for any reason, you will not be able to cash out those Uens. If your account contains a mix of purchased and earned uens, we will automatically calculate which uens can be cashed out for you.

4.12 - I SUBMITTED A PAYMENT REQUEST FOR LESS THAN THE MINIMUM. WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

We hold that payment and any others, until the total of all of your cash out requests comes to $20 if you're requesting a global partner payment, or $30 if you're requesting payment to your US-based bank account.

If you've requested payment to your bank account for less than $30, you can switch your payment preference to a global payments partner and we will be able to issue payment for cash outs over $20.

4.13 - CAN I CASH OUT MY UENS IF I'VE DELETED MY ACCOUNT?

Your Uens are forfeited if you delete your account. Do not delete your account until you have confirmed receipt of all payments pending or distributed. Deleted accounts are not recoverable. You will lose all Uens if you delete your account.

4.14 - DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR HOW TO GET MORE CALLS AND EARN MORE UENS?
