When do I get my first payout?
Stekker pays out ERE revenue quarterly. Your first payout follows the first full quarter after your NEa registration. For example: if you signed up in February, your registration starts in Q2 and your first payout arrives in July, after Q2 closes.
After that, the rhythm is fixed: payouts within four weeks after the end of each quarter.
Where does the money come from?
The route is straightforward:
- Your charger measures the green kilowatt-hours that go into your EV
- Stekker applies for ERE credits with the NEa on your behalf
- The NEa issues the credits and Stekker sells them on the market
- Net revenue (market price minus 20% Stekker commission and any audit fees) lands in your bank account
The 20% commission covers our costs for registration, audit and trading. We don’t charge commission on your day-ahead savings.
What is the tenaamstelling requirement?
The IBAN we pay into must be registered in your name. This is an NEa anti-fraud requirement. In practice:
- OK: your personal account or your business account (if you signed up as a business)
- Ask support: and/or-accounts shared with a partner — usually OK, but depends on how the NEa registers the applicant
- Not OK: accounts belonging to family members, third parties, or in a name different from the one used at signup
Can I change my bank account?
Yes. Either through the Stekker app under Settings → Payment details, or by emailing [email protected] from the email address used for signup. We verify each change before processing.
How does the payout appear on my bank statement?
The description reads: Stekker ERE Q[quarter] [year]. So for example Stekker ERE Q2 2026. The amount is the net total for that quarter.
Do I get an invoice or specification?
Yes. Around the payout date you receive an email with:
- Green kWh charged during the quarter
- ERE credits issued
- Average market price per ERE
- Gross revenue, Stekker commission, net payout
The same specification appears in the Stekker app under Earnings → History. Useful for your records.
Is the revenue taxable?
Yes. ERE revenue is taxable income. For individuals it typically falls under Box 1 (other work-related income) unless the amount is very small. For businesses it’s regular business income.
Check with your accountant or the Dutch tax authority if you’re unsure — Stekker cannot provide tax advice. Our quarterly specification contains all figures you need.
