Instant Payouts

Send Instant Payouts to your connected accounts.

Instant Payouts

With Instant Payouts, you can immediately send funds to a connected account’s supported debit card (in Canada, Singapore, and the United States) or to their supported bank account (in the United Kingdom). You can request Instant Payouts 24/7, including weekends and holidays, and funds typically appear in the associated bank account within 30 minutes.

Coverage

  • Instant Payouts is generally available in Canada, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. If your platform account is based in a different country but you would like to get access to Instant Payouts for Connected Accounts based in these countries, please get in touch.

Compatibility

You must add a supported debit card or supported bank account to the connected account to use Instant Payouts. When you add a card or a bank account to an account, Stripe returns the available_payout_methods property in the response, which contains the set of payout methods Stripe supports for that external account. Only values in this set should be passed as the method when creating a payout.

{ "id": "card_9CUH5DBY1jTgQ0", "object": "card", ... "account": "acct_1032D82eZvKYlo2C", "available_payout_methods": ["standard", "instant"], }

When using debit cards as a payout destination, the following restrictions apply:

  • Must be a non-prepaid Visa, Mastercard, or Discover card issued by a bank in the United States.
  • Limited to 9,999 USD per payout.

Also, Stripe can’t perform a negative payout against a debit card to correct a negative Stripe account balance.

Pricing

Instant Payouts cost 1% of the payout amount, with a minimum fee of 50¢.

Creating an Instant Payout

To use Instant Payouts, specify instant for the method property when creating the payout:

Command Line
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/payouts \ -u
sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc
: \ -H 'Stripe-Account:
{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}
'
\ -d amount=1000 \ -d currency="$merchant.currency" \ -d method=instant \ -d source_type=card

Initially, platforms can pay out up to 5,000 USD per day—in total, across all connected accounts—through Instant Payouts. Each day resets at 12am CST. Contact us if you need to increase this threshold.

Before going live with Instant Payouts, review our best practices for mitigating fraud risks. Meeting these requirements can help prevent losses from bad actors. Consider rolling out to your users by setting trust thresholds like minimum processing volume, days active, and chargeback rate.
