Want your store's payouts to reach your bank account in minutes instead of days?
The instant transfer system moves money between banks within minutes using an alternate identifier — your mobile number, national ID number, or email address — instead of a full account number or IBAN. That means fewer typing errors for your customers and faster bank transfers to your store. In this guide, you'll learn how to add an alternate identifier to your bank account on Salla and how it appears to your customers.
To activate instant transfers on Salla, add a bank account to your store, turn on the alternate identifier option, choose the identifier you prefer (mobile number, ID number, or email), enter it, and click save. Your instant transfer details then appear automatically on your store's checkout page.
