Checkout.com targets real-time payments with Payouts launch

Cloud-based payment solutions provider, Checkout.com, is launching a solution called Payouts.

Earlier this year, the venture closed a $450 million Series C fundraise, which tripled its valuation to $15 billion.

The Payouts product will enable merchants to make payouts in real-time to four billion plus cards in over 174 countries and payments to local bank accounts in around 40 countries.

Guillaume Pousaz, CEO and Founder, Checkout.com, says: โ€œWeโ€™re equipping merchants with the technology to transform payouts from a functional component of business to a strategic growth lever to drive exceptional experiences, expand into new markets and boost profitable growth.โ€

โ€œAgile enterprises are looking for ways to innovate on the payments journey. Legacy payout systems simply canโ€™t scale with them. Our payouts solutions will give merchants the ability to facilitate the movement of money more freely.โ€

โ€œThis is part of our commitment to removing the financial complexity for merchants, allowing them to innovate and unlock new growth opportunities.โ€
