The API

Two calls. That’s the whole API.

Create a payout, then ask how it went. Everything else — identity, routing, retries, the ledger — is handled for you.

POST/api/v1/payouts

Create, or idempotently re-fetch, a payout. Send the same idempotency key twice and you get the same payout back — never a duplicate.

GET/api/v1/payouts/:id

Did it work? Should we retry? Read the current status, the rail it used, and the full history from the transaction log.

How a payout flows

From request to settled, without the busywork.

Moving money used to mean chasing forms, onboarding accounts and reconciling by hand. Here it’s three steps.

Step 1

Send the request

POST an amount, a currency and a recipient. No account for them to create — just an email is enough to start.

Step 2

We verify & route

Identity, KYC and tax checks run first. Then we pick the best rail for the recipient’s country and execute.

Step 3

Track to settled

Poll the payout, read the immutable log, and retry safely with the same idempotency key. Never a double send.

Built for the hard parts of moving money

Everything a payout needs, owned by one service.

Identity, routing, execution and the record — so your product never has to become a payments company.

API-first

Two REST endpoints, idempotency keys and webhooks. Connect it to your systems and go live in a day.

Multi-rail routing

Local bank transfer, PayPal, Wise, Stripe Connect — chosen automatically per country and currency.

Identity & KYC built in

We collect and verify identity and tax details before a payout can execute. Nothing moves unverified.

Immutable transaction log

Every payout, retry and status change is recorded — a clean audit trail you can reconcile against.

Never holds balances

Execution-only by design. You keep custody of the money; we own identity, routing and the record.

Admin & payee portal

A transaction dashboard at /admin for your team, and a self-serve payee portal at /portal for recipients.

Compliant by default

Compliance runs before money moves.

A payout can’t execute until identity and tax checks pass. We collect the forms, screen the recipient, file the reports, and keep the paper trail — in every country you pay into.

Not just creators

One API to pay anyone.

The gateway is agnostic about who’s on the other end. If they have an email and can pass a check, you can pay them.
