Currencies
The standard currency for automatic payouts is euros (EUR). For manual payouts, you can process other currencies if you specify a business bank account that can receive funds in that currency.
Supported currencies
You can make payouts in:
- AUD (Australian dollar)
- CAD (Canadian dollar)
- CHF (Swiss franc)
- DKK (Danish krone)
- GBP (Pound Sterling)
- HKD (Hong Kong dollar)
- NOK (Norwegian krone)
- PLN (Polish złoty)
- SEK (Swedish krona)
- USD (United States dollar)
Processing times
The time it takes to process payouts is set by our Risk Team. The default delay before funds arrive in your business bank account for merchants in:
- Belgium and the Netherlands is 1 business day
- Other countries is 3-5 business days
Payout batches are not processed on weekends. That is, payouts initiated on Friday evenings are processed on Monday mornings.
Not all banks support instant payments and therefore may take extra time to process payouts.
Bank holidays
MultiSafepay pays out every business day of the year, but not on bank holidays. Delayed payouts are made the next business day.
Check the dates of local bank holidays. They may change each year.
Automatic payouts
Assuming default settings, if you schedule a payout on Monday, the payout batch includes all payments up to 23:59 hours on the Monday night. The payout batch is sent to MultiSafepay's bank on Tuesday morning. Our bank processes the batch and transfers the pay out to your business bank account. You should receive the payout on Wednesday afternoon.
Manual payouts
The status of the pay out is Reserved for 24 hours before it is added to our bank’s payout batch in the morning. Then, the payout is transferred to your business bank account. Manual payouts usually take longer to process than automatic ones.
Exclusions
You cannot make payouts if:
-
Your MultiSafepay account is not yet fully activated.
How to resolve
You can process payments immediately after creating a MultiSafepay test account and adding your site. But MultiSafepay holds your funds in your account balance until your account is fully activated.
To check if your account is fully activated, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your MultiSafepay dashboard .
If your account is not fully activated, on the dashboard home page, under Alerts, a message appears that your account is incomplete. - Click Go to activation.
We check and approve your account details and the information on your site. Once approved, we will send you an email that your account is fully activated.
- Sign in to your MultiSafepay dashboard .
-
Your account balance is negative.
How to resolve
If your account balance is negative (e.g. due to refunds, chargebacks, or fees), payouts are paused until enough funds are available.
Always set a "reserved balance" in your payout settings to prevent payout and/or refund delays.
-
Your payouts are deactivated.
