How it works

How payouts move through Blaze

Blaze carries payout requests and statuses. The money always moves through banks, never through Blaze.

For remittance companies

One integration for all your settlement banks

You hold drawing arrangements with the Bangladeshi banks you choose. Blaze connects to each of them, so you integrate once.

You name the settlement bank in every request, so your funding and reconciliation stay in your hands.
  1. 01

    You send a payout request and name the settlement bank.

  2. 02

    Blaze forwards it to that bank.

  3. 03

    The bank pays the recipient from your nostro account.

  4. 04

    Blaze returns the final status to you.

For local mobile wallets

One connection to receive from every bank and remittance company

Mobile wallets can receive remittances, but the foreign exchange has to settle through a bank. Blaze connects the senders to the wallets, and the banks settle.

Banks see in the Blaze portal exactly what to settle with each wallet provider, and the wallet provider sees every transaction. A bank that only settles for direct payouts gets a portal login, plus a webhook if it has one.
  1. 01

    A bank, or a remittance company connected directly, sends a wallet payout. Direct requests name the settlement bank.

  2. 02

    Blaze checks the wallet account, then sends the payout to the wallet provider.

  3. 03

    The wallet provider credits the beneficiary's wallet.

  4. 04

    The bank settles in BDT into the wallet provider's account at that bank, using the Blaze report or a webhook.

FAQ

Before you connect

Does Blaze hold our money?

No. Blaze only carries payout requests and their status. The money always moves through banks: from your nostro account at your settlement bank, and for wallet payouts, into the wallet provider's settlement account at that bank.

Who chooses the settlement bank for each payout?

You do, in each request. Blaze never moves a payout to a different bank on its own, because your funding and reconciliation depend on that choice.

Can we use a bank that isn't on Blaze yet?

Yes. Pick from the banks already on Blaze, or ask us to add the bank where you hold your nostro account. You still integrate with Blaze only once.

How do wallet providers get settled?

Banks settle in local currency into the wallet provider's settlement account at each bank, using the Blaze portal report, plus a webhook for banks that have one.

Who handles support and disputes?

Blaze does. Remittance companies and wallet providers bring questions to us, and we resolve them with the other side of the payout, so you deal with one team.

Do you work outside Bangladesh?

Bangladesh is live today, and the same setup can be repeated in other emerging markets.
