Business Flow


Payouts comes in 2 different schemes (from business perspective): aggregator or facilitator.


Aggregator


Using the aggregator scheme, a partner will have a deposit account balance that can be topped up from time to time using various channels. Any payout will be done from this balance as the source of funds.

Aggregator scheme is characterized by the following:

  • Source of funds comes from Midtrans’ bank accounts;
  • Partners can top up their deposit balance before payouts; and
  • Faster onboarding process.

Facilitator


Facilitator scheme lets a partner use their own bank account as the source of funds for payouts. In addition to initiating transfers and payouts, partners can inquire balance and check statements using Payouts’ API.

The facilitator scheme is characterized by the following:

  • Source of funds comes from Partners’ own bank accounts;
  • Payouts can be done as long as the account balance is sufficient; and
  • Onboarding process involves registering partners’ bank accounts to the bank and Midtrans.
