About Dynamic Payout

Dynamic Payout is a solution platform that controls the distribution of funds using flexible, customized instructions defined by the developer. The solution provides a closed-loop transaction life cycle from payment to payout.

Dynamic Payout funds Payment Facilitators’ sub-merchants via the ACH network or Debit rails in the U.S., or the Canadian EFT network. With Dynamic Payout, Payment Facilitator sub-merchants are boarded under the Payment Facilitator hierarchy, and U.S. payment transactions they process are sent to Worldpay from FIS. Rather than funds being directly settled to the Payment Facilitator’s sub-merchants for the full previous business day activity amount, funds from settled transactions processed by U.S. sub-merchants accumulate in an FBO (For Benefit Of) account owned by RealNet Payments LLC (RNPLLC) and set up by Worldpay. For Canadian sub-merchants, settled transactions accumulate in an FBO account owned by Peoples Bank of Canada.

Payment Facilitators distribute funds to sub-merchants by submitting a Batch file or calling an API containing Funds Transfer Instructions. Instructions are based upon payout agreements between Payment Facilitators and their sub-merchants (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). Worldpay processes the instructions and RNPLLC moves the funds from the FBO Settlement Account to the sub-merchants. Funding can take place as early as the next day after settlement, and within minutes of sending in the instruction.

For non-Payment Facilitators using specific Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) noted in the Worldpay eComm cnpAPI Reference Guide [i.e., MCC 7801 Government Licensed Casinos (Online Gambling)], the same process is available, except payouts are made to players via the Debit rails only in the U.S., using FastAccess Funding™. There is no boarding of player or customer information.

The structure of Dynamic Payout Funding Instructions via Online transactions is identical to the Batch version, except the parent is cnpOnlineRequest instead of batchRequest. Additionally, the cnpOnlineRequest element includes an attribute, sameDayFunding, that allows you to execute the Funding Instruction for same day settlement. When you set this attribute to true, the funds settle to the destination account on the same day, subject to certain restrictions (see Same Day Funding).

The Canadian Dynamic Payout product does not include support for certain features and reports due to differing regulations and banking restrictions. In other cases, certain features and reports are not be available due to the BETA status of the Canadian Dynamic Payout product. These differences are noted throughout this document.
