Bulk Payouts Explained: Pay Hundreds, Know Every Status in Real Time

Bulk payouts let you pay hundreds of recipients in a single workflow. The real challenge was never sending the batch, it was knowing what happened to each individual payment inside it.

This video breaks down how bulk payouts actually work: what a traditional BACS or CSV-based batch process looks like, why a single failed payment can go unnoticed for days, and how Open Banking changes that with per-payment status delivered through Faster Payments and real-time webhooks.

Bulk payouts are built for platforms paying payroll, marketplace sellers, gig workers, or supplier invoices at volume, anywhere a business sends money to many recipients on a schedule rather than one at a time. Whether you’re running weekly gig payouts, a monthly payroll cycle, or supplier settlements, the same visibility problem shows up: one failure hiding inside hundreds of successful payments.

What you’ll learn:

  • What a bulk payout actually is, and how it differs from a single payment
  • Why traditional BACS batch payments can take up to three days to clear
  • What happens when one payment in a large batch fails, and why finance teams often find out too late
  • How Open Banking’s Payment Initiation Service (PIS) changes the model with per-payment webhooks
  • What real-time payment status actually looks like in practice
