Payout Descriptor

Understand how payout descriptors work across different payment methods on BlindPay.

Overview

Payout descriptors determine how the sender's name appears on the recipient's bank statement when they receive payments through BlindPay. The descriptor varies based on the payment method and the receiver's account configuration.

ACH

For ACH payments, the payout descriptor depends on the receiver's virtual account setup and configuration:

Named Account Configuration

To enable named accounts for a receiver, you need to:

  1. Specify which receiver (customer) you want to enable named accounts for
  2. Allow BlindPay 5 business days to process and enable this feature

Once enabled, recipients will see the receiver's actual name on their bank statements instead of BlindPay's name.
