Embedded Payments

Payout on behalf of an unregistered party

Some platforms, including non-banking solutions, enable businesses to make payments to their customers. These platforms serve as intermediaries, facilitating the transfer of funds between customers and businesses. You can process payouts to third-party customers on behalf of the business, even if those customers are not registered with our organization. This flexibility allows businesses to provide third-party customer details at the time of payout.

For example, a marketplace platform making a payout to a seller’s vendor on behalf of the seller. Other scenarios include a loan servicing company facilitating payments to mortgage holders or service providers, and payroll processing companies disbursing funds directly to employees or contractors on behalf of a business.

Supported payment methods

Currently, U.S. domestic payouts are supported through the following methods. Additional requirements may apply depending on the payment method selected.

  • ACH (Automated Clearing House)
  • RTP (Real-Time Payments)
  • Wire transfers
Note

For ACH, RTP, and wire payouts, select the debtor type as “On Behalf Of.”
