Why Your First Payout Takes Longer

A brief overview of why first payouts take longer and how your Maroo payout schedule speeds up after your initial transaction.


Why Is My First Payout Taking Longer?

If you’re processing your first payment through Maroo, you may notice that the initial payout takes a bit longer than expected. This is completely normal and part of a standard process designed to keep your account secure.

What’s Happening Behind the Scenes

When your first payment is processed, Maroo (through our payment partner) performs a one-time review of your account. This review helps ensure that:

  • Your account is set up correctly

  • All required information is verified

  • Payments are processed securely and in compliance with regulations

During this time, your first payout may be placed on a temporary hold of up to 7 business days. This is a standard industry practice for new accounts.

What to Expect Moving Forward

The good news is that this review only happens once. After your first payout has been successfully completed:

  • Future payouts are typically much faster

  • Card payments are usually deposited within 1–2 business days

  • Your payment flow becomes more consistent and predictable

What Should You Do?

If your first payout is currently processing, there’s no action needed on your end. The funds will be automatically released once the review period is complete.
