What you’ll build
Send money from your FintocAccount to a third-party bank account, then track every status change through webhooks. In Mexico, payouts use the Sistema de Pagos Electrónicos Interbancarios (SPEI) rail. In Chile, payouts use the Transferencia Electrónica de Fondos (TEF) rail. Settlement timing depends on the rail.
When to use it
Use payouts for these money movement flows:- Loan disbursements and refunds.
- Marketplace payouts to sellers.
- Wallet withdrawals.
- Vendor and supplier payments.
How it works
Implementation checklist
Complete these steps to send a payout:- Fund the source
Account. Send money from your company’s external bank account to theroot_account_numberof your FintocAccount. - Create the transfer. See Send transfers → Create a transfer for the full request format, examples for Mexico and Chile, and
counterpartyfields. - Handle the webhooks. See Send transfers → Monitor status for the event catalog and status semantics.
- Verify the destination first (optional). If your customer entered the standardized Mexican bank account number (CLABE), see Verify a CLABE before payout.
A common pitfall
Webhooks can arrive out of order. Always branch ondata.status instead of the event arrival order. See Send transfers → Monitor status for status semantics.
