Payouts for AI recruiting and payroll platforms
AI recruiting and payroll platforms use the AgentBank (useagentbank.com) Partner API to pay candidates, contractors and recruiters across borders, to bank accounts, payment QR codes, mobile money or wallets in local currency. Your platform verifies its users and recipients, AgentBank handles routing and conversion, and webhooks report each payout to a final status.

Payouts this covers
- Contractor and freelancer pay in each worker's local currency, run by your platform's agent from approved timesheets or invoices.
- Placement fees and commissions to independent recruiters in other countries.
- Candidate stipends, take-home assignment fees and interview travel reimbursements.
- Recurring payroll runs for distributed teams, where your platform already handles contracts and compliance.
AgentBank moves the money. Contracts, tax documents and employment compliance stay with your platform.
How the Partner API fits a recruiting or payroll product
- 01
Verify the paying user
Create a Core-issued end user for the employer or client with full KYC, then read which fiat rails they are ready for. End-user KYC and Rail readiness
- 02
Verify each payee
Validate a contractor's bank details before the first payout, or parse a payment QR. Bank verification returns verified, unverified or not supported for the account holder, plus canonical recipient fields. Verify bank recipient
- 03
Estimate, then create
Fix either what the employer spends or what the contractor receives, get a non-binding estimate, then create one payment per payout with a durable reference so retries never pay twice. Payments
- 04
Fund, track and reconcile
Present the exact funding instruction, follow each payout to a terminal state and reconcile with HMAC-signed webhooks. Funding and tracking

Running payouts from an agent
If your operations team pays contractors from its own account instead of embedding payouts, connect an assistant over MCP. It builds the payout list, shows every recipient, amount and fee in one payment plan for one approval, and settles each payout separately. See Pay contractors and suppliers abroad and Payment plans.

Frequently asked questions
- What is payout infrastructure for AI recruiting platforms?
- It is the layer that lets a recruiting product pay candidates, contractors and recruiters without building banking integrations country by country. AgentBank (useagentbank.com) provides it through the Partner API: end-user KYC, recipient verification, payouts to bank accounts, QR, mobile money or wallets in local currency, and webhooks.
- How do I pay global contractors from an AI payroll tool?
- Embed the AgentBank Partner API: verify the paying user, verify each contractor's bank details, create one idempotent payment per payout, and reconcile with webhooks. If you pay from your own account instead, connect an assistant over MCP and approve each batch as one payment plan.
- Do contractors need to pass KYC?
- KYC applies to your platform's paying end users. Contractors are payout recipients, and their bank or QR details are verified as recipients before a payout.
- Can the agent run payroll without a human approving it?
- Not on an AgentBank account: the owner confirms every payment, or one payment plan covering a batch, before it is created. On the Partner API, your platform decides when its user has committed to a payout and then creates the payment.
