# Card Payouts

Send funds to your recipient's debit or credit card using Payouts. Please note card payouts are only available to Visa and Mastercard cards.

If you have any questions about creating payouts, reach out to your Finix Point of Contact or [Finix Support](mailto:support@finix.com).

## Step 1: Create a Recipient Identity

The first step for making a payout is creating a [`RECIPIENT` Identity](/api/identities/createidentity) to represent whom you'll send funds to. The Identity resource helps manage bank accounts, cards, payout history, and the details of your customers. You can create either `PERSONAL` or `BUSINESS` Recipients.

## Step 2: Add a Payment Instrument for the Recipient

PCI Level 1 Compliance
Creating `Payment Instruments` and passing payment details (account number, card number, etc.) directly via the API should only be done for testing purposes and by PCI Level 1 compliant entities. If you aren't a Level 1 PCI-compliant entity, you must use our [Tokenization Forms](/guides/online-payments/payment-tokenization/tokenization-forms) or [Mobile Tokenization](/guides/online-payments/payment-tokenization) to accept payment details and comply with PCI regulations. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Finix point of contact or email the [Finix Support team](/guides/getting-started/support-at-finix/).

Now that we've created an `Identity` for our recipient, we'll need to create a `Payment Instrument` using the recipient's card details. A `Payment Instrument` represents the recipient's payment method that will receive funds. When creating `Payment Instruments` for Payouts, `attempt_bank_account_validation_check` must be set to `true`.

If you have any questions about creating `Payment Instruments`, reach out to your Finix Point of Contact or [Finix Support](mailto:support@finix.com).

## Step 3: Verify the Payment Instrument

Now that we've associated a payment instrument with a recipient, we'll need to verify whether or not the card is eligible to receive push-to-card disbursements.

Luckily, you've already done most of the heavy lifting. Just make making the following request to the `Verifications` endpoint. The `Verification` resource that gets returned includes a set of general attributes and details about the card in question (e.g. card type, issuer information, etc.).


```shell Verify a Payment Instrument

## Step 4: Verify and Onboard the Recipient Account

Now that we've associated a `Payment Instrument` with our recipient's `Identity` we're ready to provision a recipient account. This is the last step before you can begin paying out a recipient `Identity`. Luckily you've already done most of the heavy lifting - make one final POST request, a `Merchant` resource will get returned.


```shell Create Merchant
curl https://finix.sandbox-payments-api.com/identities/IDh3wzPh9tFjodGvzyy23anK/merchants \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

        }
    }
}
```

## Step 5: Send Payout

Next you'll need to create a `Transfer`. A `Transfer` represents any flow of funds either to or from a `Payment Instrument`. In this case a payout to a debit or credit card.

To create a `Transfer`:

- Include the ID of the `Payment Instrument` of the previously tokenized card as the `destination`.
- In `amount`, set the funds to send in cents. In the below example, $150.00 is getting paid out.


The recipient of the card payout must be:

- an `Identity` whose `identity_roles` includes `RECIPIENT`
- an approved `Merchant`
