Setting bank and debit card payouts
Stripe allows platforms to specify payouts for its Express and Custom Connect accounts.
By default, any charge you make on behalf of a connected account accumulates in the connected account’s Stripe balance and is paid out on a daily rolling basis. However, Stripe offers platforms fine-grained tools to change the payout schedule for Express and Custom accounts.
You can:
- Schedule how frequently funds are automatically paid out
- Perform manual payouts
- Settle funds instantly
For Custom accounts, the platform can also set the destination bank accounts and debit cards. For Express accounts, the account holder handles that.

Bank account formats by country
When attaching bank accounts to Custom accounts, platforms need to provide an account_number
and, in some countries, a routing_number
. Every country has a slightly different format for these numbers, and entering them incorrectly causes subsequent payouts to fail.
We recommend creating validations in your bank account entry forms that enforce the required formats based on the country of the Custom account’s bank. In some countries, separate pieces of information—for example, the bank code and branch codes—must be combined to create a routing number.

Managing bank accounts and debit cards
Express and Custom accounts have an external_accounts
property: a list of all bank accounts and debit cards associated with the Stripe account. Any external account is a possible destination for funds.
Platforms can see the external accounts for its connected Express accounts. Platforms can update the external accounts for its Custom accounts.
{ ... "external_accounts": { "object": "list", "has_more": false, "url": "/v1/accounts/acct_14qyt6Alijdnw0EA/external_accounts", "data": [ { "id": "ba_18u1IUJ6m0aiknMBHFQaTWOj", "object": "bank_account", "account": "acct_18rsqhJ6m0aiknMB", "account_holder_name": "Jane Austen", "account_holder_type": "individual", "bank_name": "STRIPE TEST BANK", "country": "US", "currency": "usd", "default_for_currency": false, "fingerprint": "sSZ2yLp0EZTH17cF", "last4": "6789", "metadata": { }, "routing_number": "110000000", "status": "new" }, {...}, {...}, ], ... }
Destination accounts are added via the external_accounts
parameter when creating or updating Custom accounts. The value should be a bank account or debit card token returned from Stripe.js. Alternatively, you can provide a hash of the bank account details, but using Stripe.js is preferred as it prevents sensitive data from hitting your server.
When using debit cards as a payout destination, the following restrictions apply:
- Must be a non-prepaid U.S. Visa, Mastercard, or Discover
- Limited to $9,999 (USD) per payout on Instant Payouts
- Generally limited to $3,000 (USD) per payout otherwise
Also, Stripe cannot perform a negative payout against a debit card to correct a negative Stripe account balance.
Managing multiple bank and debit accounts
By default, providing a new value for external_accounts
while updating a Custom account replaces the existing account with the new one. To add additional bank accounts or debit cards to a connected account, use the Bank Account and Card creation API endpoints.

When working with multiple currencies, Stripe automatically sends payouts to an associated bank account or debit card for its currency, thereby avoiding exchange fees. When there are multiple accounts available for a given currency, Stripe uses the one set as default_for_currency
.
Payout schedule
When using automatic payouts, the settings[payouts][schedule]
property on an account indicates how often the Stripe account’s balance is automatically paid out:
{ ... "payouts": { ... "schedule": { "delay_days": 7, "interval": "daily" }, ... }
The delay_days
property reflects how long it takes for destination charges (or direct charges performed on the connected account) to become available for payout. This field is useful for dictating automatic payouts. For example, if you want your Express or Custom accounts to receive their funds 2 weeks after the charge is made, set interval
to daily
and delay_days
to 14. The default is the lowest permitted value for the account, determined by the connected account’s country. When setting or updating this field, you may pass the string minimum to choose the lowest permitted value.
There are four possible settings for the interval
property:
- manual prevents automatic payouts. You will have to manually pay out the account’s balance using the Payouts API (acting as the connected account). You also set an account to
manual
to use Instant Payouts. - daily automatically pays out charges
delay_days
days after they’re created. Thedelay_days
value cannot be less than your own payout schedule or less than the default payout schedule for the account. - weekly automatically pays out the balance once a week, with the day specified by the
weekly_anchor
parameter (a lower-case weekday such as monday). - monthly automatically pays out the balance once a month, as specified by the
monthly_anchor
parameter (a number from 1 to 31). Payouts nominally scheduled between the 29th and 31st of the month are instead sent on the last day of a shorter month.
Using manual payouts
If you set the value of settings[payouts][schedule]
to manual
using the Accounts API, Stripe will hold funds in the account holder’s balance until told to pay them out (or until a maximum of 90 days have passed). To trigger a payout of these funds, use the Payouts API.
The Payouts API is only for moving funds from a connected Stripe account’s balance into their external account. To move funds between the platform and a connected account, see creating separate charges and transfers or creating destination charges through the platform.
Regular payouts
As a basic payout example, to have $10 sent from a connected account’s Stripe balance to their external account:
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/payouts \ -u {PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY}: \ -H "Stripe-Account: {{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}" \ -d amount=1000 \ -d currency=usd

With a standard payout, you can move an amount up to the user’s available balance. To find that amount, perform a retrieve balance call on their behalf.
Stripe tracks balance contributions from different payment sources in separate balances. The retrieve balance response breaks down the components of each balance by source type. For example, to create a payout specifically for a non-credit-card balance, specify the source_type
in your request.
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/payouts \ -u {PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY}: \ -d amount=24784 \ -d currency=usd \ -d source_type=bank_account

Note that it is possible for any source’s balance component to go negative (through refunds or chargebacks), and payouts can’t be created for greater than the aggregate available balance.
Instant Payouts
With Instant Payouts, you can immediately send funds to a connected account’s debit card. 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 are generally available in the United States
- Instant Payouts are in private beta in Singapore and Canada. You can request an invite here.
- If you would like access to Instant Payouts in your country, let us know.
Compatibility
You must add a supported debit card to the connected account to use Instant Payouts. When you add a card to an account, Stripe returns the available_payout_methods
property in the response, which contains the set of payout methods Stripe supports for that card. This property is either ["standard"]
or ["standard", "instant"]
. 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"], }
Creating an Instant Payout
To use Instant Payouts, specify instant for the method
property when creating the payout:
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/payouts \ -u {PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY}: \ -H "Stripe-Account: {{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}" \ -d amount=1000 \ -d currency=usd \ -d method=instant

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.
Using webhooks with payouts
All payout activity on connected accounts can be tracked using webhooks. (When using Connect, you should always be using webhooks.) Specific to payouts, you’ll see these events:
payout.created
payout.updated
payout.paid
payout.failed
For most payouts, these event notifications occur over a series of days. For Instant Payouts, payout.paid
will be sent on the next business day, although the funds should be received well beforehand.
If a payout cannot be completed, a payout.failed
event occurs. The event’s failure_code
property indicates why. Additionally, the external account involved in the payout is disabled, triggering an account.external_account.updated
notification. No automatic or manual payouts can go through until the platform updates the connected account’s external accounts.
