    FAQs

    How does it work?

    A payout is raised by inputting a limited amount information such as name of recipient and contact details. There is no need to collect or input account details.

    An email is sent to the recipient to ask them to securely provide NatWest with the details of the account they want the funds to be transferred to. The payment is made as a Faster Payment.

    What technical resource is required?

    Payouts can be created within our NatWest Bankline proposition, which means no technical work is required on your side.
    Alternatively, you can choose to embed Payit within your existing business systems through our API solution, which would allow you to deliver the claim link through your method of choice – email, or your SMS, app or website – creating a fantastic experience for your payees.

    How much does it cost?

    Our charging structure is based on fixed rate per transaction, with discounts applied for large volumes. Please complete the form with your business details and we’ll happily contact you with details of pricing.
