Adyen customers can utilize a single API to facilitate worldwide payouts to their user base, including gig economy workers and marketplace sellers.

By managing funds globally through Adyen’s API, enterprise customers can streamline operations and scale more efficiently.
For platform end users, payouts via real-time banking and card schemes offer the advantage of quicker access to their funds. Adyen’s solution meets the demand for same-day settlement or faster, as expressed by 75% of SMBs, and improves the overall end user experience.
