For all of our payout examples we will use the example of a home service platform that connects independent contractors with homewoenrs. The platform sources the customer and takes payment for the completed job. The platform could say to their independent contractor “You can be paid in 2-4 days, or we can move money now to your debit card”. There is a cost to the platform to do this. As an example we will use $1.00. The platform could say “you can receive your $ within 15 minutes for an added fee”. That fee could be $2 or like QuickBooks, 1%. On a $1000 job the platform could see $9 in revenue.
