Payout retries enabled

Change typeDate of changeAffected productsAffected auth flows
New feature14 August 2023Icon PayoutsNot applicable

Payout retries are now enabled for all payouts by default. This means that EU payouts are initially tried over the instant SEPA instant scheme, retried several more times after a brief delay, then ultimately retried over the more reliable but slower SEPA credit scheme.

This results in more consistent payments and a better user experience. You can also configure payout retries to suit your specific needs.
