Stellar Disbursement Platform
The Stellar Disbursement Platform is a blockchain-based solution that makes sending cross-border payouts at scale easier, faster, and cheaper. Wallets are automatically created for receivers, removing setup barriers and helping your organization expand your reach.
Benefits
Send payments of any size, anytime. Settle near-instantly, 24/7/365, with network fees as low as a fraction of a U.S. cent per transaction.
Reach receivers using only a smart phone. Digital wallets are created on-demand – no prior setup or blockchain knowledge needed.
Send different types of payouts – payroll, cash assistance, gig work – to local wallets with flexible, region-specific cash-out options for receivers.
Start benefiting from onchain transactions in days, not weeks. Customize your setup with flexible deployment options and easily extend operations to new regions.
Independently audited and designed for security, the platform allows sending organizations to manage user permissions, while keeping receivers’ personal data off chain.
Track funds in real-time, with every payment recorded on the Stellar blockchain for complete traceability and auditability.
Key Features
Receivers are guided to create a digital wallet via SMS or email invitation – no prior wallet or blockchain knowledge needed. Existing wallet addresses are also supported.
Send up to 10,000 payments of any amount in a single batch by simply uploading a list of receivers to the platform.
Track key metrics in real-time directly from the dashboard, with insights on both aggregate and individual payment performance.
Choose from four levels of user permissions to ensure privacy and control: Owner (full access), Financial Controller (send payments), Viewer (read only), and Developer (technical access).
