Coinbase Business Launches Global Payouts and Payment Links to Transform B2B Payments
Coinbase Business has introduced two new tools—global payouts and payment links—designed to streamline how businesses send and receive digital payments in USDC. These features provide instant settlement, low transaction fees, and seamless API integrations, allowing global companies to manage cash flow and expand operations with greater efficiency.
Traditional B2B payments have long been hindered by high fees, sluggish processing times, and complex cross-border systems. Coinbase’s new tools remove these barriers by offering quick, gasless transactions on networks such as Base, eliminating chargebacks, and minimizing processing costs. Businesses can now send payments to vendors, freelancers, or partners worldwide—or receive customer payments—through secure, crypto-native workflows.
“Your business moves quick—your money should too,” said Sid Coelho-Prabhu, Head of Product at Coinbase Business. “Global payouts and payment links redefine how companies handle transactions, giving them a reliable, scalable foundation to grow in a digital-first economy.”
Takeaway
With Global Payouts, businesses can now send wallet or even an email address, funding payouts from on-platform balances or connected bank accounts. Recipients without wallets can claim payments by opening a Coinbase account, simplifying access for international vendors and contractors. The system eliminates multi-day wire delays and currency conversion friction while providing settlement finality in seconds.
The new Payouts API enables automation of bulk or recurring payments, allowing businesses to trigger transactions on demand or according to custom schedules. Contact management tools within Coinbase Business further enhance accuracy and reduce operational overhead, making the platform well-suited for enterprises managing large-scale disbursements.
These enhancements transform cross-border business payments into a near-instant process, with settlement speeds measured in seconds rather than days and with zero Transaction fees for recipients on Base.
Takeaway
Coinbase Business also introduced Payment Links, allowing companies to create a simple link that customers can use to send USDC payments instantly. The feature accepts hundreds of wallets—including Base, MetaMask, and Phantom—and settles payments in under a second, with no network fees or credit card charges.
Developers can integrate the upcoming Payment Links API to dynamically generate links at scale for apps or e-commerce flows. The result is a frictionless payment experience that enables global sales without the typical 3% card-processing fees or exposure to chargebacks.
All USDC balances held on Coinbase Business are automatically enrolled in USDC Rewards, currently earning 4.1% APY, with the ability to cash out anytime to via Wire or ACH. The platform also supports accounting integrations through QuickBooks, Xero, and CoinTracker for seamless reconciliation and reporting.
Takeaway
Together, the global payouts and payment links capabilities make Coinbase Business an all-in-one hub for corporate treasury and merchant operations. Businesses can automate vendor payments, streamline customer billing, and flow within a single, regulated environment. This positions Coinbase Business as a powerful tool for companies viewking real-time global settlement using digital dollars.
The new tools are part of Coinbase’s broader strategy to unify its merchant answers under one brand. Over the coming months, Coinbase Commerce will merge into Coinbase Business, consolidating its custody, payments, and cash-out features into a single product experience for business customers.
Built on Coinbase Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) infrastructure, the platform offers enterprise-grade scalability and compliance, serving large e-commerce platforms and institutions such as Shopify. These integrations enable merchants and developers to embed crypto payment capabilities into their applications while maintaining transparency and regulatory integrity.
