# Add a payout setting

`POST /merchants/{merchantId}/payoutSettings`

Sends a request to add a payout setting for the merchant account specified in the path. A payout setting links the merchant account to the [transfer instrument](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/legalentity/latest/post/transferInstruments) that contains the details of the payout bank account. Adyen verifies the bank account before allowing and enabling the payout setting.

If you're accepting payments in multiple currencies, you may add multiple payout settings for the merchant account.

Use this endpoint if your integration requires it, such as Adyen for Platforms Manage. Your Adyen contact will set up your access.
