Once you receive payments into your Flutterwave account, your funds are automatically settled to you within 1-5 business days depending on the settlement schedule. You can decide to have your funds sent to your bank account manually, at a time of your own choosing, using Flutterwave transfers, instead of the default automatic settlement. 

Enable manual settlements

To enable manual settlements, simply login to your dashboard and follow these steps: 

- Go to Settings

- Click on ‘Business Preference’

- Navigate to About

- Scroll down to “How do you want to get your earnings?” and select “Settle to my payout balance”

Once this option is enabled, funds you subsequently receive will be settled to your payout balance, which you can then use for transfers to any bank account of your choosing at any time. The payments you receive in your Flutterwave account will be accumulated until you choose to transfer them out.
