Global Payout Infrastructure
Pay anyone, anywhere, programmatically. One API to move funds to sellers, suppliers, affiliates, creators and employees across 150+ countries — with the tracking finance teams need.
What is a global payout API?
A global payout API lets a business send money to many recipients across borders programmatically — instead of uploading bank files or processing transfers one by one. The platform behind the API handles rails selection, currency conversion and status tracking, returning webhook events as each payout progresses. Marketplaces, brokers and platforms use payout APIs to settle with users at scale.

Who it's built for
Frequently asked questions
How do mass payouts work?
You submit a batch of recipients and amounts through the API; the platform executes each payout on the appropriate rail and streams per-payout status events back, so partial failures are visible and retryable individually.
Can I pay out onto cards instead of bank accounts?
Yes. Paired with card issuing, funds can land on branded prepaid or debit cards instantly — popular for gig workers and affiliates who want immediate access.
How are failed payouts handled?
Returns and failures come back as webhook events with reason data, so your system can correct details and resubmit without spreadsheet forensics.
