Instant Payouts for Stripe Dashboard users

Get access to your Stripe balance instantly.

Available in:

With Instant Payouts, Stripe Dashboard users can access their Stripe balances immediately following a successful charge. You can request an Instant Payout any day or time, including weekends and holidays, and funds typically settle in the associated bank account within 30 minutes.

Compare Instant Payouts to standard payouts

Instant Payouts accelerate access to your funds, making them available as soon as funds from a card charge are successfully completed. However, Stripe assesses a 1% fee on each Instant Payout. Any funds not accessed through Instant Payouts continue to be paid out according to your default payout schedule.

Instant Payouts can’t use alternative currencies. For example, an Instant Payout to a Canadian business must be in CAD.

Funds acquired from card payments are available for Instant Payouts as soon as the charge is complete. ACH or bank debits are only available for Instant Payouts after the payment has settled.

Request an Instant Payout

You can initiate Instant Payouts either manually through the Stripe Dashboard or programmatically using the Stripe APIs.

From the Home or Balances tab, click Pay out funds to check your available balance.
If you’re eligible for Instant Payouts and have a positive balance, select a Standard or Instant manual payout.
If you haven’t added an eligible Instant Payout method, you’re prompted to do so. You only need to add a method once.
Select the amount you want to receive. You can enter up to the maximum amount available, subject to daily volume limits.
Funds are paid out immediately and arrive at your payout destination within minutes.

Eligibility and daily volume limits

New Stripe users aren’t immediately eligible for Instant Payouts. Check your eligibility in the Dashboard or use the Balances API.

An instant payout applies to a daily limit according to the time it’s requested. For example, if you request an instant payout at 23:58 on Tuesday and receive the funds at 00:03 on Wednesday, that payout counts toward Tuesday’s limit. Daily reset times depend on your region:

United States and Canada: Midnight US Central Time
United Kingdom: Midnight London Time
Singapore: Midnight Singapore Time

Instant Payouts observe the following daily limitations:

You’re limited to a maximum instant payout amount per day. Check your daily volume in the Dashboard. You can’t initiate Instant Payouts after you reach your daily limit.
You’re limited to a maximum of 10 Instant Payouts per day.
