A local payout is the final delivery of funds to a Recipient through a domestic payment route in the destination country, even though the original payment began abroad. The cross-border provider or its partner arranges the local credit in the payout currency.

What should be verified?
Check the supported bank, account currency, transaction limit, cut-off, payment reference and whether the quoted Recipient amount is estimated or fixed. A local payout does not guarantee instant or same-day credit.
For Philippine peso transfers, the local leg may use a participating domestic system. BSP maintains current information on Philippine payment systems and participants.
A local payout can simplify the Recipient’s incoming bank entry, but it does not erase the cross-border transaction behind it. Compare the approved Quotable Payments route on total debit, expected Recipient amount, timing and the evidence available for reconciliation.
