When Instant Payout Makes Sense
Not every practice needs it every day — but when you do, it's there.
Payroll Timing
Payroll due Friday but payout doesn't land until Monday? Initiate an instant payout Thursday afternoon and it's in your account before close.
High-Volume Periods
End of month, post-holiday — when a spike in collections builds up in your Stripe balance, instant payout lets you access it immediately.
Weekend Cash Flow
Standard ACH doesn't move over weekends. If you collect Saturday and need funds Sunday, instant payout is the only option that works.
How It Works
Three steps from dashboard to bank.
Check Available Balance
Log into your billing dashboard. Your current Stripe balance — patient payments collected but not yet paid out — is shown at the top.
Initiate Instant Payout
Admin-level staff click "Instant Payout," confirm the amount and the 1.5% fee, and submit. Requires admin role — billing-only staff can't trigger transfers.
Funds in ~30 Minutes
Stripe processes the transfer through the debit network. Funds appear in your linked bank account in approximately 30 minutes.
How Instant Payout Is Built
Transparent, secure, and only available when you need it
~30-Minute Deposits
Initiate an instant payout and collected funds reach your bank account in approximately 30 minutes — any day, including weekends and holidays.
Role-Gated Access
Only practice owners and admin-level staff can initiate payouts. Billing staff can view balance and history but cannot trigger transfers.
1.5% Transparent Fee
Instant payouts carry a 1.5% fee on the transferred amount. No hidden charges. Standard payouts (2–3 business days) remain free.
Any Linked Bank Account
Works with any US bank account connected to your Stripe account. The same account used for standard payouts — no additional setup required.
On-Demand, Not Automatic
Instant payout is triggered manually when you need it. Collections continue building in your Stripe balance between payouts.
Payout History in Dashboard
View a full log of standard and instant payouts — amount, date, fee, and destination — from your billing dashboard.
Standard Payout vs. Instant Payout
Use standard when timing allows. Use instant when it doesn't.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does the money actually arrive?
In most cases, funds arrive in approximately 30 minutes. Timing can vary slightly by bank, but Stripe's instant payout network covers most major US financial institutions with near-real-time transfer.
Does instant payout work on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Unlike standard ACH transfers that only process on business days, instant payouts move through debit networks that operate around the clock, including weekends and federal holidays.
What is the fee?
Instant payouts carry a 1.5% fee on the transferred amount. For example, a $1,000 instant payout costs $15. Standard payouts (2–3 business days) have no additional fee.
Who can initiate an instant payout?
Access is role-gated — only practice owners and staff with admin billing permissions can initiate a payout. This prevents unauthorized transfers and keeps financial controls where they belong.
Is there a minimum or maximum payout amount?
Stripe's instant payout minimums and maximums apply (typically $1 minimum, with limits based on your account history). Your available balance in Stripe must cover the payout amount plus the 1.5% fee.
