What is payout reconciliation?
Payout reconciliation is the process of confirming that every payout instruction submitted to
Smart Bulk Payments has been successfully processed and recorded.
Reconciliation enables organizations to compare internal payment records with completed
blockchain transactions and platform records.
Reconciliation Levels
Smart Bulk Payments supports reconciliation at multiple levels.
Reconciliation Level Description
Batch Review the overall status and summary of a payout batch

Batch Reconciliation
Every accepted payout batch receives a unique identifier.
Using this identifier, organizations can review:
● Batch status
● Number of recipients
● Successfully processed payouts
● Failed payouts
● Pending payouts
● Processing history
Batch reconciliation provides a consolidated view of each payment run.

Statements may include:

proof of payment.
This information supports:
