In corporate treasury management and fund collection scenarios, eligible businesses can also receive payments through a corporate bank account. Companies can initiate payouts to employees, contractors, suppliers, creators, affiliate partners, and platform merchants through a unified management dashboard or API. Core functions include bulk payments, smart routing, transparent exchange rates and fees, payment status tracking, and financial reconciliation.1380
