# Availing Payout Funds

The platform requires that the merchant explicitly requests for funds to be availed for payouts/disbursements. This way, the merchant has full control of what their collections/deposits are used for. When the merchant initiates this request on the platform, the finance team handles the request and when approved, the merchant will be notified via email.
