EUR payouts
Send EUR to European bank accounts over SEPA, settled from your EUR international account. Recipients are identified by IBAN + BIC.
See the Payouts overview for common fields + customer attribution, and the NGN page for the shared payout object + management endpoints.
Prerequisites
- International accounts enabled on your merchant account.
- An active EUR account to send from. In the individual flow this is the sender’s own virtual account (
sender_account_not_provisionedif missing); in the business/treasury flow it’s your merchant international account (no_active_international_accountif missing). See the error table. - A sender for compliance —
sender_customer_id(preferred) or an inlinesenderblock. - For attribution reads on the customer feed: the API key needs
customer_transaction_view.
POSTSave a EUR beneficiary, then pay by reference
A saved EUR beneficiary captures the address the receiving network needs (the inline path does not).
| Path | Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beneficiary | bank.iban | yes | Recipient IBAN. |
| Beneficiary | bank.bic_code | yes | 8–11 char BIC/SWIFT. |
| Beneficiary | address.street / city / zip_code | yes | Receiving-network compliance. |
| Beneficiary | name | yes | Recipient name. |

amount_minor is in cents (100000 = €1,000.00). Prefer the by-beneficiary path; the inline recipient is soft-deprecated for FX.
The inline path is the simpler shape — iban + bic_code + name:
| Path | Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inline | recipient.iban | yes | Recipient IBAN. |
| Inline | recipient.bic_code | yes | 8–11 char BIC/SWIFT. |
| Inline | recipient.name | yes | Recipient name. |
Sender attribution
EUR requires the sending customer to be identified — sender_customer_id (preferred) or an inline sender block; the two are complementary (inline fields win per-field, the referenced customer’s KYC backfills gaps). customer_id must match sender_customer_id if both are passed.
Response
201 Created with the payout object (currency: "EUR"). Status transitions to paid on network confirmation — listen for the payout.paid webhook.
