What does a payout account contain
How to create a payout account
Payout account Settings
A payout account is a designated bank account where funds are transferred from Hubject to you, the CPO or your sub-CPOs bank accounts. It is used to receive earnings from the EMPs base on the charging sessions transactions.
Hubject will use the payout accounts to distribute earnings efficiently. These accounts should be linked to an IBAN and currency. They are essential for ensuring timely and accurate financial transactions.
The payout accounts are also associated with the EVSEIDs (Charging Stations ID) and on a later step will be necessary to link the charging stations included in your EVSEData to the payout accounts. This will let us know where to transfer the earnings when a CDR is received.

The following scenarios illustrate how to use the two types of payout accounts:
Managing three public charging stations located in Electric Str.
(Own Payout Account)
The CPO SuperCharging has installed three public charging stations on Electric Str., and EV drivers from an EMP subscribed to the offer on the HBS platform have begun using them.
The charging stations will generate the CDRs and transfer them to the CPO backend. The CPO will then forward the CDRs to the HBS platform, where they will be rated based on the prices specified in the NGP offer.
After the CDRs are rated, the Financial Service tool will generate an invoice and send it to the EMP. The invoice will include the CDRs generated on the last month. The EMP will then proceed to make the payment requested on the invoice to Hubject.
Hubject will verify the payout account associated with the EVSEs (charging stations) listed in the CDRs and transfer the earnings accordingly. Since the charging stations are owned by the CPO itself, Hubject will transfer the earnings to the IBAN account specified in the CPO's own payout account.
Managing charging stations from PRYCA supermarket chain
(External Payout Account)
Let's consider that CPO SuperCharging is overseeing the charging stations situated in the parking facilities of a supermarket chain named PRYCA. While the charging stations are owned by PRYCA, they are managed by CPO SuperCharging on behalf of the supermarket chain.
Since the charging stations are utilizing SuperCharging's backend, the CDRs will be sent to it following a successful charging session. The CPO will subsequently transmit these CDRs to the HBS platform, where they will undergo rating based on the prices outlined in the NGP offer applicable to these charging stations.
After the CDRs are rated, the Financial Service tool will generate an invoice and send it to the EMP. The invoice will include the CDRs generated on the last month. The EMP will then proceed to make the payment requested on the invoice to Hubject.
Hubject will confirm the payout account linked to the EVSEs (charging stations) listed in the CDRs and transfer the earnings accordingly. As the charging stations are owned by PRYCA supermarket, Hubject will transfer the earnings to the IBAN specified in PRYCA's external payout account.
