SWIFT Payout

A fast way to move funds to a bank account using SWIFT | Enterprise

A Payout can send money from Rapyd to a beneficiary. Use the Swift Transfer payout method, or xx_swift_bank to wire transfer funds to a beneficiary with an international bank account in the SWIFT network.

Common use cases may include:

  • Wire payout to an international employee's bank account.

  • Wire payout to a supplier in another country (B2B).

Regex, is a regular expression that defines the format when type is string. Regex can manage and match characters in strings. Rapyd employs a unique variant of regex. Note the following differences:

  • A single backslash is treated as matching a backslash as an ordinary character.

  • A backslash followed by an alphabetic character matches as a string of two characters.

  • To match a special character such as \n, you must write \\n.

Using the Wire payment method (xx_swift_bank) and the corresponding required fields that beneficiaries fill out is described under How it Works.

Note

A Payout requires a sender and a beneficiary as described in Reusing Beneficiary or Sender.

Step 1 - Getting Payout Information
list-payments.jpg
  1. You request to List Payout Methods by Country to get supported payout methods.

  2. Rapyd returns the list of supported payout types.

  3. You call Get Payout Method Required Fields to get required fields to be completed.

  4. Rapyd returns the list of required fields to be passed for processing.

Step 2 - Processing the Payout
process-payouts.jpg
  1. You call Create Payout and pass required fields.

  2. Rapyd processes the payout to the bank—and sends a response.

  3. Bank credits the beneficiary’s account.

  4. Rapyd sends notification of completed Payout.

The xx_swift_bank payout method has a list of supported sender currencies. When the sender disburses funds to the beneficiary, they can use a number of different supported currencies.

The beneficiary can then accept the funds in the same currency, or in a different currency. If a beneficiary accepts the funds in a different currency from the sender, then FX (foreign exchange) will convert the funds to the desired currency.

The sender currencies for the payout method are listed in the List Payout Method Types response above.

Note: If the payout is created with an unsupported sender currency, the payout will fail.

Simulating Payout Completion

The sandbox does not directly simulate the action of the beneficiary receiving the payout funds. You can simulate this action with the procedure described in Complete Payout. For this, you will need the payout ID and payout amount that you generated in your sandbox.

When a payout completion is simulated, Rapyd sends a webhook. Configure your system to receive webhooks with the procedure described in Defining a Webhook Endpoint.

After you simulate that the employee's bank has accepted the transfer, Rapyd sends you Webhook - Payout Completed. The webhook confirms that the payout was completed.
