Payout Options

Payout to your bank account - add a bank account

We support the following currencies GBP, EUR, and USD, for settlements (payouts). If you entered a GBP bank account when you onboarded UNIPaaS, but your store accepts other currencies as well, you can add another bank account in the same currency to avoid FX fees.

To submit a new bank account, we'll ask you to upload an up-to-date bank statement (from the past three months).

Payout to your suppliers - coming soon

You can add your suppliers' bank accounts and pay them from your UNIPaaS balance immediately, avoiding having to payout to your bank account, and only then pay your suppliers. You can avoid fees and manage your business money flow in one place.
