Updated over a week ago

To securely process ICT Ignite stipend payments, Riipen is partnered with payment provider Tipalti. To receive the stipend for your completed project you will be required to enter your banking information on the Riipen platform.

ICT Ignite operates on a 21 day payout period for learners completing employer projects. Your stipend will be processed within 21 days of our team receiving your final submission on the Riipen platform, your program exit survey, and employer feedback on your project submission.

Setting up your payment account

You will be prompted to set up your payment account when you start working on your employer project.

When you select "Set up your payment account" you will be taken to a page to input your payment information.

This will include:

  • Your address

  • Your bank account details (including branch routing number/transit number)

  • Your bank’s branch address (you can easily look up this information online)

  • Your Social Insurance Number

Once you have completed the Tipalti registration, you can click back into the Riipen portal and continue to start working on your employer project.

If you do not see the yellow banner, follow the steps for editing a payment account below.

Editing a payment account

If you ever need to change information associated with a payment account such as banking information, you can:

  1. Click on your user avatar in the top navigation bar and select "Settings"

  2. Click the "Payment Accounts" tab in the "Advanced" group

  3. Click on the payment account you wish to update. This will say "Tipalti".

  4. Click on the "Edit" button

  5. Follow the prompts on screen

Always ensure your payment account information is up to date as you will be unable to receive payments otherwise.

Viewing your payment

To view all payments for yourself for work completed on a particular project,

  1. Navigate to the team page

  2. Click on the "Payments" tab

You will now see all your payments for work completed. Payments will be visible and processed by the ICT Ignite team once they have confirmed that you have completed your employer project (by reviewing your final submission), have received employer feedback, and have submitted the ICT Ignite learner exit survey.

To see details about any particular payment, click the "Actions" button and click "View".
