Normal Cerivio payout releases 17 days after an order is placed. Need the cash sooner? Opt into Early Payout and we advance the net payout minus a small fee (2-3% depending on tier). No paperwork, no additional bank, no personal guarantee.
POST /api/v1/early-payout/request (or click "Accelerate" in your seller SPA).Compare to invoice factoring (Aldermore, Bibby: 3-5% fee + 1.5-2.5% service charge) or a fintech factoring line (Wayflyer, Uncapped: 6-12% for 6 months). Cerivio Early Payout is priced for the 17-day duration only — you pay for the days you actually use.
