# Payouts

> Review transfers out, download receipts, and start a new transfer without writing any code.

Payouts are transfers from your Pila balance to bank accounts. On this page you review past payouts, download receipts and start a new transfer.

</Frame>

The **Total Payout** card shows the total value paid out. Each row shows the **date**, **recipient**, **amount**, **type** (`MANUAL` means it was sent from the dashboard) and **status**.

## Make a transfer

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check the mode and your balance">
    Confirm the top bar shows the mode you intend, and that your available balance covers the amount.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Transfer">
    At the top right of the Payout page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the recipient and amount">
    The recipient's bank account, then the amount.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm with your payment PIN">
    The payout then appears at the top of the list. Set a PIN first under [Business settings](/dashboard-guide/home/settings#change-your-payment-pin) if you have not.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Always confirm the resolved account name before sending. A transfer to the wrong account cannot be reversed from the dashboard — recovery depends on the receiving bank.
</Warning>

## Filter payouts

Select **Filter**, choose a range under **By Date**, then select **Filter**. Select **Reset all** to clear.

## Statuses

| Status | What to do |
| - | - |
| `PROCESSING` | Wait. It is with the receiving bank. Do not re-send. |
| `SUCCESSFUL` | Settled. |
| `FAILED` | Did not go through, and funds are not debited. Check the recipient details and try again. |

<Tip>
  If a payout sits in `PROCESSING` far longer than usual, note its reference and contact [support](/support) rather than retrying. Retrying a transfer that later settles means paying twice.
</Tip>
