Payouts enables users to seamlessly and instantly make withdrawals and refunds from the app or service that they are using. This is accomplished by opening and pre-funding an e-money account, from which funds can be sent to users requesting a payout. Today, Plaid partners with Railsr<sup>1</sup>, an authorised e-money institution, for the provision of e-money accounts to facilitate Payouts.
