FAQ 03

Instant payouts, explained.

What is an instant payout?

It gives a merchant faster access to funds already available in their balance than a standard payout schedule. This program is researching a settlement layer; it does not process card payments.

Does it replace our PSP?

No. The intended model works alongside an existing acquirer or PSP, so the goal is to avoid a processor migration.

Who is it for?

Software platforms, marketplaces, and vertical SaaS teams that manage payouts for merchants, sellers, or service providers.

What happens in the interview?

We review the payout workflow, merchant GMV range, payment stack, and where faster access could create measurable value.
