Send moneyPublic preview

Send money to recipients

When you send money to recipients internationally, they receive funds in their local currency. Additional cross-border and foreign exchange fees might apply. Learn more about pricing.

To send payouts to recipients directly from the Dashboard:

Navigate to More > Global Payouts.
Click Send payout.
Search and choose from the recipient list, or click Add new recipient. Click Continue.
Choose the amount you want to send.
- If you’re sending a cross-border payout and converting currencies, you can specify either the sending amount or the amount the recipient receives in the local currency.
Choose the payout method you want to use.
(Optional) You can add an internal note to reference when managing payouts. Notes are visible only to you and limited to 50 characters.
(Optional) If you want Stripe to send a confirmation email to your recipients on your behalf, select the box.
Click Review, review the details, and add an internal note (optional). Then click Send.
- If you’re sending a cross-border payout and converting currencies, the exchange rate might be updated. If so, the updated rate and the estimated payout amount and fees are shown. The rate on the review page is the finalized rate.

After you send the payout to the recipient, track its status and take applicable actions on the Global Payouts page.

Statement descriptors

Statement descriptors explain charges or payments on bank statements. The statement descriptor that the recipient sees for a payout is pulled from your statement descriptor. The statement descriptor isn’t customizable.

Minimum payout amounts

Review the following tables to learn the minimum payout amounts for each recipient country. Keep in mind the following when considering minimum payout amounts:

The minimum amount applies regardless of whether the currency is the source or destination currency.
The minimum amount in the API request must be in minor units. For example, enter 1 USD as 100.
The source and destination currencies must both pass the minimum payout amounts.

For example, if you’re a US business funding a cross-border payout in USD to a recipient in South Africa who will receive ZAR, you must meet the minimums for both USD (0.01 USD) and ZAR (100 ZAR). If you tried to send 3 USD (passes USD minimum) to a South African recipient, the payout would fail because 3 USD = 55.63 ZAR, which fails the ZAR minimum.
