FAQs
A payout refers to the process of transferring funds from a business bank account to another. At Stitch, disbursements and withdrawals fall under Payouts. Stitch Payouts enables businesses to initiate transfers programmatically over API.
Settlement times can vary based on factors such as the recipient's bank and the chosen settlement option. Stitch offers instant or same-day (T+1) settlement times.
A disbursement generally refers to the distribution of funds to multiple recipients, often for specific purposes like payroll, payment to vendors for goods or services or reimbursements. Withdrawals are a specific type of payout for businesses that offer digital wallets or accounts. These are initiated by the customer and include withdrawing funds previously deposited into their personal accounts.
A payout process might look like a business sending out monthly affiliate commissions to its partners, a marketplace paying its vendors or suppliers, a ride-hailing business paying its drivers or a business sending payroll. With Stitch Payouts, the business can initiate a bulk transfer of funds to all the recipients accounts and send one-off or in bulk.
