Payouts

Send instant, compliant payouts to anyone, anywhere

Disburse to gig workers, research participants, vendors, and consumers globally through prepaid cards, bank transfers, wallets, and more - all from one platform.

The Problem

Where payout operations break down - and why it costs you

Manual processing, restricted methods, fragmented vendors, and lack of visibility create audit exposure and disbursement delays.

Manual processing

W-9 collection, KYC verification, and country-specific tax form validation tracked by hand create audit exposure, IRS penalty risk, and disbursement delays.

Restricted payout methods

When recipients can't receive money the way they prefer - bank, wallet, or prepaid card - payouts go unclaimed and program effectiveness tanks.

Fragmented vendor stacks

Managing multiple regional payout vendors across rails, currencies, and geographies drives up cost and burns team bandwidth on reconciliation.

Lack of visibility

Without real-time tracking, finance can't reconcile spend, ops can't catch failed disbursements, and leadership can't trust the numbers in any reporting cycle.
