Your payout balance contains funds that are available to you for transfers and payments. Your payout balance must be funded for you to be able to initiate transfers from your Flutterwave account. You can fund your payout balance by:

• Receiving payments in different currencies which is then settled to your payout balance, if enabled

• Making a transfer to your virtual account number

• Wallet transfer from a different currency.

This guide shows you how to fund your Flutterwave balance via your virtual account number and wallet transfer.

Funding via virtual account numbers

1. Log in to your Flutterwave dashboard

2. Navigate to ‘Balance’, then click the ‘Fund balance’ button

3. You'll see a list of virtual bank account numbers you can transfer to

4. Copy the account number and make a transfer from your mobile banking app. The funds will be added to your payout balance

5. You can proceed to make transfers (single or bulk) to bank accounts, mobile money wallets, and other Flutterwave accounts.

You can only fund your NGN balance by making a transfer to your virtual account numbers. To fund other currency balances, initiate a currency transfer.

• Navigate to the Payments page and click on ‘Transfer’

• Select ‘Transfer between currency balances’

• Select the balance you wish to transfer from and the recipient’s currency.

• Upload your CSV file and follow the steps to complete the transfer.
