Payouts and money

# Payout method

How a firm actually sends the money: bank transfer, wire, or a payments provider that offers several rails. The method determines the paperwork, the fees and how long the transfer takes.

GFN’s figure

GFN pays traders through Rise (Riseworks), a payments platform built for paying contractors internationally. Within Rise you can choose ACH bank transfer, international bank wire or crypto.

- **Provider**: Rise (Riseworks)
- **Options**: ACH bank transfer, international bank wire, crypto
- **Paperwork**: A short contract is signed at the request stage
- **Account holder**: Must be the same person who bought, verified and traded the account

In detail

## Payout method, explained

Most firms route payouts through a third-party payments provider rather than paying from their own bank, because the provider handles contractor paperwork, sanctions screening and international transfer in one place.

Whatever the rail, the receiving account has to belong to the verified account holder. Paying a third party is the fastest way to have a payout stopped.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Rise payout](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/rise-payout) - A payout processed through Rise (Riseworks), a payments platform used to pay contractors internationally. The trader signs a short contract in Rise, then chooses how the money is delivered.
- [Bank transfer](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/bank-transfer) - A payout delivered to a bank account, either domestically through a local clearing system such as ACH or internationally by wire. Wires are faster to arrive and usually carry higher fees.
- [Crypto payout](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/crypto-payout) - A payout delivered in cryptocurrency rather than to a bank account. It settles independently of banking hours and is common among firms paying traders in markets where international wires are slow.
- [Payout processing time](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/payout-processing-time) - The gap between requesting a payout and the money arriving. It covers the firm's review, any identity checks, the payment provider's own processing and finally the settlement time of the chosen rail.
- [KYC](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/kyc) - The process of confirming who owns an account, using identity documents and supporting information. It is required before money moves, and it is the most common cause of a delayed first payout.
