Payments and accounts

Integrate with Fire and automate your payments.

Get paid and pay out across multiple accounts and currencies using the Fire Payments API to automate payment processes. Open as many accounts as you need to manage your payment automation.

Why automate your payments?

Automate large volumes of payouts to save time, reconcile instantly and streamline your payment processes.

Efficient and reliable

Open additional accounts in real-time. You can open a new euro or sterling Fire account via the web interface, or through the API, triggered by events from your own systems.  

Transfer funds instantly between your euro and sterling Fire accounts.

Segregation of funds and instant reconciliation

Instantly open as many euro and sterling Fire accounts as you need, on demand, to support segregation of funds, streamlined reconciliation and enable faster identification of payments.  

Each Fire account has a unique IE IBAN or UK account number.

Quicker settlement, same-day payments

Automating bank transfers can reduce settlement times, allowing your customers to access their funds quickly. Internal transfers between your Fire accounts are immediate and convenient.

Additionally, using the Fire Payments API ensures that payments received into your Fire accounts automatically prompt updates in your systems via event-driven webhooks.

Reduced administration, saved time

Fire enables automated inter-account transfers which can support segregation of funds, as well as automated bulk payments to third parties such as suppliers, customers or staff.

Reduce reconciliation processing times, and manual tasks. Fire helps you to automate payouts based on your own business logic, triggering payouts at certain times or as funds are received into your account.

Use Cases
