Slow payouts are your biggest retention risk
Workers leave for faster-paying platforms
When a driver can get same-day pay on one app and wait 5 days on yours, you lose them. Worker acquisition costs $300-800 per driver.
Payout infrastructure is fragmented
ACH, push-to-card, RTP, FedNow: different vendors, different APIs, different settlement windows. Managing them is a full-time engineering job.
Multi-rail routing is complex
Choosing the cheapest and fastest rail for each payout based on bank, amount, and time of day requires logic most platforms build poorly or not at all.
Smart payout routing. Every rail. One API.
PerfectPay automatically selects the cheapest and fastest payout rail for each worker based on bank support, amount, and time of day. One integration, every rail.
Multi-rail routing
FedNow, RTP, push-to-card, same-day ACH, and standard ACH. PerfectPay checks each worker's bank for rail support and routes to the fastest option available.
Cheapest rail selected automatically
When a worker's bank supports both FedNow and push-to-card, PerfectPay picks FedNow: same speed, fraction of the cost. You set the rules; the engine optimizes.
Instant delivery, 24/7
Weekends, holidays, 3am: payouts settle in seconds via FedNow and RTP. No more "pending until Monday" for workers who need funds now.
Retain more workers
85% of gig workers say they would accept more work from platforms that offer faster pay. Instant payouts aren't a perk; they're a competitive advantage.
