Coverage and speed are provider claims, not measured results. Card, bank, IBAN and wallet availability varies by country. Scroll horizontally on small screens.
Separate freelancers, incorporated contractors, marketplace sellers and employees. Record country, legal status, tax documentation and preferred receiving method. A provider can support a country without supporting every recipient type there.
Check the actual destination rail for each corridor. Card payout, local bank transfer, SWIFT, IBAN transfer and wallet credit have different recipient data, limits, reversal rules and delivery times.
A headline country count is not enough. Confirm the sender entity, recipient country, payout currency, funding currency and whether conversion is mandatory. Mark unsupported or conditional combinations instead of inferring coverage.
For one test corridor, request the funding amount, FX rate, sender fee, recipient deductions and delivery estimate. Record cut-offs, compliance holds, failed-payment fees and reconciliation data. Published speed is not a guaranteed SLA.
List recipient countries, legal status and monthly recipient count
Record required card, IBAN, bank-account and wallet routes
Define funding and payout currencies for every corridor
Usually not. Rails, currencies and recipient eligibility vary by corridor. Build a country-by-country route matrix before signing a contract.
Include platform subscription, per-payout fee, FX spread, funding cost, intermediary or recipient deductions, failed-payment charges and implementation work.
Compare card and IBAN availability for each recipient country and currency, total fees, delivery time, and eligibility. Confirm current terms with Sends and at least one alternative before choosing a payout route.
No. Cut-offs, weekends, beneficiary-bank processing, incorrect details and compliance review can extend delivery. Request a contractual SLA for critical payout runs.
