Payouts

Payouts are how money from your Paylinker balance gets deposited into your bank account. You can configure payouts to happen automatically or initiate them manually.

Payout Schedule

Your payout schedule determines how often Paylinker sends money to your bank account.

• Daily: Payouts are sent every day.
• Weekly: Payouts are sent on a specific day of the week (e.g., every Monday).
• Monthly: Payouts are sent on a specific day of the month (e.g., the 1st).

Settlement Timing

The availability of funds depends on your country and risk profile. Standard settlement timing is T+2 (2 business days).

Automatic Payouts

By default, Paylinker attempts to pay out your available balance daily. You can change this in your dashboard settings.

Manual Payouts

If you prefer to control when funds are sent, you can switch to manual payouts.
