How an NGN payout works.
1 · Send one request.
Set the corridor to NGN and add the amount, your own reference, and the beneficiary's account number and bank code. You get a payout ID and a "processing" status straight away.
See the payout docs →
2 · Screened before it settles.
Every payout is checked in real time against sanctions lists, watchlists and risk indicators before any money moves. KYC, KYB, AML and CFT controls sit in the rail itself.
3 · Settled on local bank rails.
The payout settles to the Nigerian bank account in under 5 seconds, and the status changes to "settled" with the exact time. If it cannot complete, it fails straight away with a reason.
