Bamboo Payouts

Bamboo Payouts is a reliable, scalable, and automated solution that operates across LATAM, producing high-standard processing for merchants that attend to their necessities.

Why use Bamboo Payouts?

Dispersing funds to third parties in Latin American markets is complex. It involves having connections with banks in each country and several legal considerations.

The current model has been a restriction for businesses that do not have local operations and want to pay third parties from other countries.

Bamboo Payouts offers you a payment system to allow mass transfers to third parties, using API or the dashboard, with updates on the status of transactions and notifications via e-mail to you and your third parties.

How do Bamboo Payouts work?

Using Bamboo Payouts, you can efficiently disburse the funds settled in your account to local beneficiary accounts. The following image briefly explains the process.
