API for instant payouts

API for instant payouts

Payouts are not limited to business days and hours anymore, they land instantly around the clock.

Not every US bank can accept an instant payment. We maintain a directory of reachable receiving routing numbers, and check it per payment.

The business getting paid doesn’t need to create a Melio account. We deliver it directly to their bank account.

Intelligent funding orchestration drives premium methods like virtual card, so businesses get paid faster, and you can earn revenue share on the upgrade with no extra work from your team.

With one integration we take care of the bank relationships and compliance requirements. You don’t build or maintain any of it.
