An increasingly complex global economy has created the need for automation and global payment solutions. Mass global payouts occur every day by companies competing in a virtual economy that knows no borders. Cross-border payments happen so often within the sharing economy and online marketplaces, the complexity of such payouts is often taken for granted.

Global Payments

Mass payout are complex at a domestic level, but with international expansion comes global payment issues. Regulatory compliance issues coupled with complex taxation laws and validation needs create issues for global brands of all sizes. Offering payments and support in multiple and currencies languages is a critical component of a global mass payment process. Offering multiple payment options with active payment status communications helps retain partners even in under-banked countries.

Payment Error and Mass Payouts

Global Payouts 1

Making mass payouts is not a simple task. In competitive verticals like online marketplaces, partner retention and attraction requires a sophisticated and reliable payments workflow. As the volume of mass payouts increase payment error risk grows exponentially. A recent survey found that well over 50% of of respondents experience a payment error rate of over 1% with nearly 32% of respondents experiencing a payment error rate of over 3%. While 3% doesn’t sound like a huge number, imagine a ride-sharing company that makes mass payouts to hundreds of thousands of drivers every week. A 3% payment error rate could cost the company millions of dollars every month.

Using PayPal MassPay for Global Payouts

Global Payouts 2

Many early-stage companies turn to a product like PayPal’s MassPay to make global payouts. MassPay can be a great product for remittance purposes, but the platform can be limiting as payment volume and number of payees increases. An intuitive and white-labeled payee on-boarding experience is critical to your brand. Checking new and existing payees against do-not-pay lists while collecting the proper tax forms is crucial. And perhaps most important, PayPal does not work for every jurisdiction. For those countries, alternative payment methods need to be considered.

Cross-Border Payments

Global payouts are a type of cross-border payment that generally consists of a high volume or regular frequency of payments and is specific to the payout function of payment processing. Cross-border payouts are subject to a complex set of laws and regulations aimed to prevent the fund of terrorist organizations and prevent money-laundering. Sometimes international money transfers involve a single currency, while other transactions involve a foreign exchange currency conversion.

SEPA Transfers

Global payments incur different sets of regulations depending on which countries are sending and receiving the payment. Payouts that occur between two countries within the European Union often fall within the Single Euro Payments Area or SEPA. SEPA transfers can be much less complex than traditional global payments as they are generally considered the equivalent of a domestic money transfer.

Vendor fraud schemes are one of the major challenges businesses face today. Fraud and billing schemes have ruined the financial fortunes of many, and have threatened the survival of some.
To effectively combat vendor fraud, organizations need to know how to identify them, practice due diligence, and establish effective internal controls.

Closing the books each month can be a tedious process, but it is vital to ensuring the financial health of your company. The month-end close can help you identify deviations from your financial plan early, so you can respond quickly. Conversely, it can uncover new opportunities for business growth, and drive strategies so you can exploit them.

Net 45 is an important credit term because it allows customers to pay 15 days later than the more common payment terms of net 30. Net 45 could give well-financed businesses a competitive advantage if they’re willing to take the risk and tie up their cash in accounts receivable longer or offer an early payment discount combined with the net 45 credit terms.
