Airwallex Payouts is a REST API for programmatic domestic and international disbursements, covering use cases from marketplace seller payouts and freelancer payments to global payroll and cross-border withdrawals. It reaches 200+ countries and regions across 90+ currencies, using local clearing rails in 120+ countries alongside SWIFT, ACH, and SEPA. Pricing is not published and requires a sales conversation; SWIFT transfers cost $15 to $25 each, and FX conversion carries a 0.5% to 1% markup over interbank rates. The API supports API key and OAuth2 auth, webhooks, idempotency, and a sandbox, with SDKs for Node.js, iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native.
