Marketplace wallets and stored value, on an FCA-authorised EMI licence." url: "/uk/marketplaces/marketplace-wallets" --- # Give every seller *a wallet* A stored balance each seller can hold, receive their splits into, and withdraw when they choose — in multiple currencies, on one ledger. The account layer that turns your marketplace into a platform. *Marketplace building blocks.* ## Sellers want a balance, not just a payout they can't control Direct payouts push every sale straight out, so sellers can't hold a balance, top up, or choose when to withdraw — and you can't offer wallet-to-wallet transfers, held balances for reserves, or a currency account per seller. The account layer a platform needs simply isn't there. ## How marketplace wallets run on Fynex A real account for every seller, on your platform. 1. **A stored balance per seller** — Each seller gets a balance that receives their splits and payouts, held safely on our licence until they choose to withdraw — not pushed out on every sale. 2. **Multi-currency, one ledger** — Hold and move a balance per currency in a single ledger, so a seller earning in three currencies keeps three balances without three tools. 3. **Withdraw, transfer, or hold** — Sellers withdraw on demand, you hold reserves against refunds, and balances move wallet-to-wallet — the account primitives a platform runs on. ## The same job, with the leaks closed Point tools solve part of it. Fynex runs the whole thing on one platform. | The problem | Other platforms (Direct-to-seller payouts) | Fynex | |---|---|---| | Let sellers hold a balance | Every sale is pushed straight out as a payout. | A stored balance each seller controls. | | Hold balances per currency | One currency, or a separate account per market. | Multi-currency balances on one ledger. | | Hold reserves against refunds | No place to hold funds between sale and refund. | Reserve balances held on our licence. | | Move money between accounts | Not supported without another provider. | Wallet-to-wallet transfers, built in. | ## Questions, answered ### What is a marketplace wallet? A marketplace wallet is a stored balance you give each seller on your platform — their splits and payouts land in it, they can hold funds there, and they withdraw when they choose rather than receiving every sale as an immediate payout. Fynex holds those balances safely on its FCA-authorised EMI licence. ### Can sellers hold balances in more than one currency? Yes. A seller can hold and move a balance per currency on a single ledger, so someone earning in USD, GBP and EUR keeps three balances in one account instead of stitching together separate tools per market. ### How is a wallet different from a payout? A payout sends money out of your platform to a seller's bank; a wallet is an account on your platform where the seller's money lives until they act on it. Wallets let you offer held balances, reserves against refunds, wallet-to-wallet transfers and on-demand withdrawals — the account layer a payout alone can't provide. ## The rest of the marketplace money layer Every building block below runs on the same platform. Start with one, or run the whole stack. - **Split payments** — Divide one payment across sellers, your fee and partners — by rule, in real time. - **Escrow & held funds** — Hold a buyer's payment until the work is delivered, then release it to the seller. - **Delayed capture** — Authorize a card at checkout and capture the payment later, when you're ready. - **Platform commission** — Take your cut automatically at settlement — set your take rate once and keep it. - **Seller onboarding & KYC** — Verify sellers with built-in KYC and KYB, inside your own signup — without the drop-off. - **Payout scheduling** — Pay sellers on schedule or by rule — mass, instant or timed, in any currency and rail. - **Balance management** — One ledger for every balance, split, hold and payout — reconciled to the transaction. - **Cash** — Multi-currency accounts and balances across the whole platform. ## Find what you're leaking, for free Send us your setup.
