Speedy payouts to accounts in Russian banks (via BESP)​

You can make speedy payouts to accounts in Russian banks through the BESP system. A speedy payout takes place within an hour, a regular one—from 2 hours to 1 banking day (the crediting period depends on the recipient's bank).

The fees for regular and speedy payouts differ and are fixed in your agreement with Smart Glocal.

How to enable​

To be able to make speedy payouts to accounts in Russian banks through the BESP system, contact your manager at Smart Glocal.

How to make a payout via BESP​

In the payout request, pass true in the ru object in the is_fast field, and your payout will be sent through BESP.

If you do not specify this parameter, a regular payout will be sent.

Example​

"bank_account": {
  "system_type": "ru",
  "ru": {
    "bik": "044525971",
    "account": "40817810100000270411",
    "full_name": "Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich",
    "description": "Wire for agreement № 5015553111 Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich VAT exempt",
    "is_fast": "true"
  }
}

What can go wrong​

  • If you send a payout in a way that is not in your agreement with Smart Glocal, the payout will not go through. The response be received as a routing_internal_error.
  • If you send a speedy payout to a bank that is not connected to the BESP system, the payout will be sent as a regular one, but you will be charged the fee set for a speedy payout.

Payout refund​

The payout you sent to a Russian bank account may be refunded. In this case, you will get a refund within 5 days.
