Fund Transfer Network

Fund transfer network (FTN) is the underlying payment clearing network used to process your local payout. FTN affects payout speed, limit and cutoff. So now you can choose to route you payouts through a particular FTN depending on your speed, limit and cut off requirements.

To achieve our goal of making payouts more and more predictable, we now allow users to specify a fund transfer network in case of a local payout. For example,

  • IMPS, NEFT, RTGS are the fund transfer networks that we support for INR
  • SEPA, SEPA Instant, Target2 are the fund transfer networks that we support for EUR
  • Fedwire and FedACH are the fund transfer networks that we support for USD

You can add FTN for a payout by both API as well as the dashboard.
