Payouts
A payout transfers funds from your MultiSafepay account balance to your business bank account.
How it works
Before you can receive payouts, you must have an active business bank account linked to your MultiSafepay account.
You can make payouts automatically or manually:
- Automatic payouts are scheduled based on your payout settings. You can select the payout days, currency, minimum balance, reserve balance, and business bank account.
- Manual payouts are one-time payouts that you initiate from your MultiSafepay dashboard.
To receive a payout in a specific currency, you must have an account balance and an active business bank account that support that currency.
Payouts are processed according to the payout delay configured for your account. For more information, see Processing times.

Processing times
The payout processing time is determined by our Risk team. By default, funds arrive in your business bank account within:
- Belgium and the Netherlands: 1 business day
- Other countries: 3-5 business days
Payout batches are not processed on weekends. For example, a payout initiated on Friday evening is processed on Monday morning.
Not all banks support instant payments. It may take additional time for funds to reach your business bank account.
Bank holidays
MultiSafepay processes payouts every business day of the year, except on bank holidays. Payouts scheduled for a bank holiday are processed on the next business day.
Check the dates of local bank holidays. They may change each year.
Automatic payouts
If an automatic payout is scheduled for Monday, the payout batch includes all captured payments received up to 23:59 on Sunday, assuming the default payout settings.
MultiSafepay then processes the batch and initiates the transfer to your business bank account. The arrival time of funds depend on the payout delay configured for your account.
For more information on your payout schedule, contact your account manager.
Manual payouts
A manual payout has the Reserved status for 24 hours before it is added to the next morning's payout batch. The funds are then transferred to your business bank account.
Manual payouts usually take longer to process than automatic payouts.
Exclusions
Payouts cannot be processed in the following cases:
Account not fully activated
You can process payments immediately after creating a MultiSafepay test account and adding your website. However, MultiSafepay holds your funds in your account balance until your account is fully activated.
To check if your account activation status:
- Sign in to your MultiSafepay dashboard .
- On the dashboard home page, check Alerts. If your account isn't fully activated, a message indicates that your account is incomplete.
- Click Go to activation.
- We check and approve your account details and the information on your website. Once approved, we will send you an email that your account is fully activated.
Negative account balance
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.
