Money movement

Payout

Money disbursed to individuals, businesses, members or participants, singly, in bulk or on a schedule.

A payout sends funds to the people or organisations a network owes: sellers, contractors, members, beneficiaries or recipients of a benefit. Payouts can be single, bulk or scheduled, and can be approved before they run. Doing them through one layer means the same rules and records apply whichever provider carries the money.
