With Yoco Payouts, getting paid is simple. Choose how you’d like to receive your money – within minutes, the next morning, or on a set day each week. However you run your business, Yoco makes sure your hard-earned cash gets to you quickly and securely.
✨ Please note: We are required by law to confirm your identity and verify your business before we can start paying you out. These checks also help us keep the Yoco payment network and community safe from fraud and financial crime.

Payout types
Yoco currently offers four convenient ways to get paid:
Please note:
Standard payout is the default payout type for Original, Starter and Core Plans.
You must have a minimum balance of R10 to get paid out by Yoco.
Fast Payout comes free with the Accelerate Plan.
1. Standard Payout
Yoco reconciles your transactions at midnight every day.
Your payout reflects in your account after 1–2 business days (bank dependent).
Card transactions processed after midnight are added to the following day’s payout total.
Sundays and public holidays delay the Standard Payout process.
Standard Payout Schedule
Transaction happens before midnight on: | Yoco pays you out on: | Payout reflects in your bank account on: |
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday/Thursday |
Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday/Friday |
Wednesday | Thursday | Friday/Saturday |
Thursday | Friday | Saturday/Monday |
Friday | Saturday | Monday/Tuesday |
Saturday | Monday | Tuesday/Wednesday |
Sunday | Next business day | 1–2 days later |
Public holiday | Next business day | 1–2 days later |
✨ Sundays and public holidays are not considered banking business days, so the payout process only starts on the next business day. For example, if there’s a public holiday on a Friday, Yoco will submit your Thursday payout to the bank on Saturday, and you will receive the money in your account on Monday or Tuesday, depending on your bank.
2. Weekly Payout
Your payout reflects in your account by 8am on your chosen day of the week.
Your payout day can be any day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday.
Weekly Payout is not affected by public holidays.

3. Fast Payout
Your payout reflects in your account by 8am the next day, seven days a week (including Sundays and public holidays).
Fast Payout is free on the Accelerate Plan.

4. Instant Payout

Your requested amount is deducted from your eligible balance and paid into your bank account immediately.
Any remaining balance is paid out according to our Standard Payout schedule.
