How to avoid fees of Zebpay for BATs (India)?

I am new to Brave and BATs. As directly integration between zebpay and BATs in India, I am forced to use zebpay. Like most of users, I don’t do trading. I’m just here for BATs. How to avoid, monthly fees and withdrawal fees of zebpay? Is there anyway to transfer earned BATs into your brave wallet? What can be used if not zebpay in India?

I received less that 1 BAT in one month. If I transfer it into zebpay, let’s say 3 BATs in 3 monts and that is less than 100 INR so I won’t be able to withdraw and it will automatically be transfered into zebpay and monthly fees will eat up my BATs. What is this?

What Operating System and Brave version are you using? ([Menu --> Help --> About Brave](https://brave.com/latest/))

Who is your verified custodian or self-custody? (Zebpay)

Are you in a supported region? (Yes)

@Sanu_Sourav first, let me say you’re wrong about being “forced” to use ZebPay. You have other options. For example, on-chain payouts if you prefer. You may want to read through PSA: Current and upcoming changes to Rewards and Creators as well as some of the things I link to there.

This has been discussed many times. Main thing I’ll do is quote below:

If you have troubles understanding that, it’s saying if you don’t just leave BAT in your account then you won’t be charged. Withdraw right away and you’re fine. But if you sweep it or receive it to your ZebPay account and leave it alone, then they will charge you the fee.

Correction -

If they just leave it in the Brave rewards wallet of Zebpay, no fees are applicable.

If they transfer the BAT to Zebpay wallet BAT balance, fees are applicable.

It’s a bit confusing. I agree.

So, I should keep the auto sweep option off in zebpay and only sweep manually when I just want to withdraw, shouldnt’t I? (I’m not doing any trading through zebpay.)

That is correct. But can see if @SmartyAadi wants to speak any further on it and potentially give some advice

That would be correct.

Only transfer from Brave rewards Zebpay balance to ZP portfolio when you’ll be selling the BAT immediately or within a few days.

Otherwise, if you forget to make any trades in that particular month, you’ll be charged the membership fee the consecutive month.
