Thunes is a REST API for cross-border payouts and payment acceptance, covering 140+ countries with use cases spanning gig worker payouts, marketplace disbursements, MTO infrastructure, NGO transfers, and e-commerce refunds. Pricing is custom-negotiated with no published rates, requires a sales agreement before production access, and includes minimum volume commitments with non-usage fees. The API supports webhooks, HMAC signature auth, and a sandbox environment, and holds certifications for GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS. Customers include Revolut, PayPal, Uber, Western Union, and Remitly.
