Introduction

How funds flow on PayMongo — from accepted payment to wallet, and from wallet to payout or disbursement.

Move money on PayMongo. Collect payments into a wallet, top it up from a bank or e‑wallet, and send funds back out — to your own account, to a supplier, to thousands of contractors in a single batch upload, or out to a customer scanning a QR code. One API and one ledger handle every flow, across every rail.

PayMongo runs a set of money‑movement rails in the Philippines — every BSP‑supervised network (InstaPay, PESONet, QR Ph) plus our own internal wallet‑to‑wallet rail — and the same primitives extend outward. Forex unlocks cross‑border payouts and multi‑currency wallets; bills payment unlocks B2B settlement.
