Initial Payout Delays: - When setting up a new bank account in Stripe, your initial payout may take 7–10 business days to complete. This accounts for the necessary bank account verification processes.
Post-Setup Daily Payouts: - After the verification stage, daily payouts operate on a 2-day rolling basis. For example, a payment processed on Monday will appear in your account by Wednesday. This rolling schedule guarantees consistency without needing user intervention.
