Pay out to bank accounts

Pay out your funds to a third-party bank account.

Adyen supports paying out funds from your balance account to third-party bank accounts by using the Transfers API. You can use this feature to pay out to any third-party cardholder, such as freelancers or providers.

Supported locations, currencies, and priorities

Adyen only supports paying out to third parties in local currencies. For example, USD is supported in the United States. There are two exceptions:

EUR payouts in locations that are part of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) but not the eurozone.
USD payouts in Canada.

The following accordions show the currencies, priorities, and transfer description limits that are supported in each location.

Transfer priority

To specify how fast the funds must be sent, you can set a priority in the transfer request. A transfer with a higher priority incurs higher fees. The priorities available for bank transfers are:

Regular: recommended for normal, low-value transactions to a recipient in the same location.
Instant: instant way to transfer funds in Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) locations. Has higher fees than a regular payout.
Fast: faster than regular but has higher fees. Recommended for high-priority, low-value transactions to a recipient in the same location.
Wire: fastest way but has the highest fees. Recommended for high-priority, high-value transactions to a recipient in the same location.
Cross-border: recommended for high-value transactions to a recipient in a different location.

When using cross-border priority, transfer delays and potential fees may occur due to involving correspondent banks. As a result, the beneficiary may receive a reduced amount compared to the one instructed.
Internal: transfer to an Adyen-issued business account.

Transfer routes

To pay out your funds, Adyen must connect to transfer routes. Transfer routes depend on the parameters that you include in your transfer requests, such as priority, currency, and counterparty's location.

To minimize the risk of transfer failures, we recommend that you calculate transfer routes when:

You are building your integration and want to understand what transfer routes are available for your use case.
You plan to make a payout to a specific location or counterparty for the first time.
You experience repeated issues trying to pay out to a specific location or counterparty.

Transfer cut-off times

There are specific times during a business day, called cut-off times, when Adyen stops processing bank transfers for settlement within the settlement delay. Bank transfers initiated before the cut-off time are typically processed within the specified settlement delay, while those initiated after the cut-off time will be processed the next day within the specified settlement delay.

Adhering to cut-off times can help you maintain consistency and predictability of your financial activities.

Suppose you need to make a bank transfer to a recipient in the SEPA area. Depending on when you initiate the transfer, the funds will be available the same business day or the next business day.

You initiate the transfer with a wire priority at 16:20 PM CET (10 minutes before the 16:30 PM cut-off time). Adyen processes this transfer, and the recipient will receive the funds the same business day.
You initiate the transfer with a wire priority at 17:00 PM CET (30 minutes after the 16:30 PM cut-off time). Since it is past the cut-off time, Adyen will process this transfer on the following business day. The funds will be available in the recipient's account on the next business day (one business day from the date of the transfer initiation).

Suppose you need to make a bank transfer to a US recipient. Depending on when you initiate the transfer, the funds will be available the next business day or the day after the next business day.

You initiate the transfer with a regular priority at 19:30 PM ET (30 minutes before the 20:00 PM cut-off time). Adyen processes this transfer, and the recipient will receive the funds on the next business day.
You initiate the transfer with a regular priority at 20:30 PM ET (30 minutes after the 20:00 PM cut-off time). Since it is past the cut-off time, Adyen will process this transfer on the following business day. The funds will be available in the recipient's account on the day after the next business day (two business days from the date of the transfer initiation).

Transfer statement description

A statement description is the text that your users see on their bank statements when they receive payouts, which helps them identify the transaction. Adyen passes the description that you provide to the recipient bank. Most banks show this description in the statement.

To configure a default description for all payouts, contact our Support Team. You can still override the default description when you send an on-demand payout.

In general, the description must not exceed more than 140 characters. The supported characters may also differ based on the location and priority of the transfer. Refer to the table in the following section for more details.
