« Back to FAQs Why does it take so long to receive my foreign performance royalties?

BMI does not log your performances in other countries. The performing rights organization in the country of performance logs your performances. Each society requires a different amount of time to identify and distribute royalties to BMI. Most societies make distributions to BMI on an annual or semi-annual basis. When BMI receives these royalties, the payments are identified as quickly as possible to expedite payments to our affiliates.
