How do disbursements work? The process explained
A disbursement is money a business pays to a recipient, such as wages, a vendor payment, a customer refund, a loan advance, or a payout to a marketplace seller. Although the details vary, most disbursements move through the same core stages, from approval and calculation to transmission and reconciliation. Founders, finance leads, and product teams need to understand when money leaves the business, how they reach the recipient, and how each payment is recorded. Finix is an integrated payments platform and certified direct processor that helps growing businesses accept payments and send payouts from one place.
