Compliance across the payout lifecycle
The recipient checks required before payment depend on the payout’s onboarding mode. With Verified payees only, recipients must complete the required checks before they can be paid. With Any payee, your organization handles compliance externally.1
Before a recipient can be paid
Recipient verification establishes who you are paying: identity checks, account ownership checks, sanctions screening, and AML checks. Required tax certificates — W-9 for U.S. persons and businesses, W-8BEN and W-8BEN-E for non-U.S. individuals and entities — are collected up front, so no one has to chase documents after money has already moved.

Before a payout is funded
Finance can review recipients, amounts, and totals exactly as they will be paid, then sign to lock the payout. Funding is a separate step gated by your organization’s own wallet, so creating a payout never moves money by itself.

When the payout is funded
Funding uses the payout details signed during finalization. The blockchain transaction provides a reference your team can use to verify the transfer.

After the payout
The complete record — creator, approver, recipients, amounts, checks that ran, funding time, and final status — is kept on the payout and can be exported for reconciliation, accounting, and audit review.

The questions finance and compliance teams get asked after a payout each map to a record Pvium already keeps:
Because these records are created as the payout happens, an audit is a matter of exporting what exists — not reconstructing what happened.
