Talk to our teamHelopay Payouts is a disbursement API that lets businesses send money to recipients across Africa — to mobile money wallets, bank accounts, or merchant accounts — through a single integration. It is built for payroll, vendor payments, partner settlements, and any use case that requires sending funds at scale.
We support payouts to mobile money wallets including M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo and Orange Money, as well as local and regional bank transfers. Merchant settlement payouts to partner and vendor accounts are also supported through the same API.
Mobile money payouts are typically instant or settle within a few minutes. Bank transfers settle within 24 hours in most supported countries. Settlement speed may vary depending on the destination country, recipient bank, and time of transaction.
Yes. Helopay supports USD payouts and local currency disbursements across supported markets. Currency conversion is handled automatically where applicable. Contact our team for details on supported currency pairs and conversion rates for your region.
Minimum and maximum payout limits vary by country and payout channel. Mobile money operators impose their own per-transaction limits which Helopay adheres to. For high-volume or large-value disbursements, contact our team to discuss custom limits tailored to your business.
Yes. The Helopay Payouts API supports bulk disbursements, allowing you to send payments to hundreds or thousands of recipients in a single API call. You can also schedule recurring payouts — for payroll or commission cycles — directly from your dashboard or via the API.
Every payout has a unique reference ID and a real-time status you can query via the API or monitor from your Helopay dashboard. We also send webhook notifications for key status changes — initiated, processing, delivered, and failed — so your system stays in sync automatically.
If a payout fails — due to an invalid recipient number, account issues, or network errors — the transaction is marked as failed and the funds are returned to your Helopay balance immediately. You will receive a webhook notification with the failure reason so you can retry or investigate without delay.
