Q3 Wrapped: Powering Smarter Payouts, Every Step of the Way

From building smarter infrastructure to unlocking brand-new payout options, Q3 was about one thing: creating more possibilities for you - and your recipients. Here’s how we’ve been pushing the boundaries of the Runa Platform to optimize performance, expand your reach, and set the pace for what’s next.

Expanding Possibility: More Ways to Reach, Reward, and Retain

New Horizons with Runa Pay to Card

Payouts with Runa just got even more flexible. You can now send Pay to Card payouts in EUR-to-EUR, expanding your reach across Europe with the same speed and simplicity you’ve come to expect.

Whether it’s:

• USD to USD
• USD to anywhere
• GBP to GBP
• Now, EUR to EUR

You only need your recipient’s email address to start sending funds - no friction, no delays, no problem.

More Flexibility, Smarter Cost Control

We’ve also introduced configurable fee controls for Pay to Card. While there are minimal fees for Pay to Card payouts, senders now have the option to pass those fees on to recipients.

This gives you more flexibility in how you fund your program - and ensures that both you and Runa can operate sustainably. The configurable mechanism applies to:

• Fixed transaction fees
• FX percentage-based fees
• Any type of Pay to Card payout

You decide how it works for your business model.

You can store up to 20 key-value pairs (strings only), and we’ll return them every time you query that order. It’s not visible to recipients - just smart infrastructure for your internal systems.
