Pay on behalf of
your clients.

Payments On Behalf Of (POBO) lets platforms, payroll providers and treasury teams send payouts from one master account while every payment carries your client’s name as the ordering party. Your clients get local-looking payments in 40+ markets; you keep one integration, one balance and one reconciliation feed.

Why POBO

Your platform pays. Your client’s name shows.

Recipients and their banks recognise the payer they actually do business with, not an intermediary they’ve never heard of. That means fewer queries, fewer returned payments and cleaner compliance trails, without opening a bank account for every client.

Capabilities

Built for platforms that move money for others.

Client as ordering party

Each payout carries your client’s legal name and details as the remitter, so beneficiaries know exactly who paid them.

One master account

Fund a single USD, EUR or GBP balance and pay out for hundreds of clients without separate bank accounts.

Per-client sub-ledgers

Every client gets its own virtual balance and statement, reconciled automatically against the master account.

40+ payout markets

Pay suppliers, staff and partners on local rails like IMPS, UPI, SEPA, FPS, Pix and InstaPay.

KYB on every client

Underlying clients are onboarded and screened, with sanctions and purpose-of-payment checks on each payout.

Audit-ready reporting

Per-client reports and webhooks give you and your clients a complete trail for every payment.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does POBO mean?

Payments On Behalf Of: you initiate payments from your own account, but each payment names your client as the payer, so beneficiaries see who they actually did business with.

Who uses POBO?

Payroll and EOR platforms, marketplaces, payment service providers and corporate treasury teams paying for subsidiaries or clients.

Do my clients need their own bank accounts?

No. Funds sit in your master account with per-client sub-ledgers; Credible handles the naming and reconciliation on each payout.

How is compliance handled?

Each underlying client goes through KYB, and every payout is screened for sanctions and purpose of payment before it is released.
