Direct Payouts
This module can be used to facilitate payouts to individuals or businesses using standard modes.
Decentro provides the capability to pay to bank accounts of customers, individuals, or businesses using any of the supporting modes of transfers.
The platform is expected to Add a Beneficiary to use the Nodal account for payouts. If this is not done, the transfer is rejected. Note: This is as per RBI guidelines.
The platform can Add a Beneficiary to use any other account but is recommended that transfers to the same customer can be done repeatedly without hassles.
Decentro recommends the platform Validate bank accounts before transacting to ensure the recipient is as per records.
Beneficiary
Add Beneficiaries
This API can be used to add registered beneficiaries against each virtual account to add, update, or delete them.

Once a beneficiary is added, the platform can use the beneficiary code to keep doing the payouts as required.
Settlements
Settlement is a bank account that will be mapped against a virtual account to which Decentro will auto-settle funds from its account if not settled by the platform on a pre-agreed basis. Please connect with us at [email protected] to have the settlement logic configured.
With this API, you can Add / Deactivate / Reactivate settlement accounts for sending money from the virtual accounts.
The settlement account needs to be an actual bank account and cannot be a virtual account or another nodal account.
Unlike payouts, Settlement is managed by Decentro completely.

Validate Bank Account
This API allows you to automatically validate a bank account by doing a penny drop (small deposit) transaction. This is a sync API and Decentro returns the response of the account immediately.
