After introducing so many advertising realizations, I suddenly found a very large platform that I haven’t mentioned before — Vungle.

Blackstone announced on July 19, 2019 that it was acquiring Mobile video advertising platform Vungle for $750 million. Vungle’s SDK is now used by more than 60,000 publishers, including Rovio and Pandora.

Below, I will tell you about the registration steps of Vungle account, as well as the filling in of the receivable account, and the headache of W-8BEN tax form.

1. Go to Vungle and click on Sign Up: vungle.com/

2. Fill in the registration information and click Create Account

3. Log in to the email address specified during account registration to activate the account

4. Select the three dots in the upper right corner and click “My Account”.

5. Fill in the payment information on the screen that pops up, and first fill in the address

In addition, it should be noted that the information here determines the region of your Vungle account. If you fill in the domestic information, there are only two options for payment by wire transfer and PayPay.

PayPal is not to mention, the commission is very high, can receive but is also inconvenient, in the settlement of exchange to the bank, you also need to provide the corresponding information for review.

Neither of the two methods is the optimal solution, so it is suggested to fill in the information of The United States or Hong Kong. As for the choice of payment method, I will continue to talk about it next.
