Mass payout services give companies a way to manage numerous payments to multiple locations, while helping them to organize payment streams and save money in the process.

Most mass payout service providers allow companies to send payments in their home currency. The service provider will then convert the funds and send them on to the beneficiary in their currency of choice. Service providers also offer a number of options for sending payments, including global bank transfer services such as ACH or wire transfer, or by issuing a local check. For companies that send payments above a certain amount, many service providers will waive monthly fees entirely, or charge only a minimal fee per transaction.

Mass Payout Risks and Issues

Mass payouts are generally a safe, regulated, and timely way to send global payments to contractors, freelance workers, or vendors. Because most mass payouts are cross-border, there are some foreign exchange currency risks to note, however. Most mass payout service providers will send your payment in the beneficiary’s local currency. This can help the beneficiary to save on conversion costs and avoid currency exposure, but volatility and forex market rate fluctuations could still have an effect.

Some mass payout service providers do not provide their services to specific businesses, such as online gaming companies, pharmaceutical product sellers, virtual currencies, non-profit organizations, or for forex trading. Mass payouts are also not a suitable product for remittance payments, loan repayments, or interest payments.
