# Payment Initiation

Disburse funds at scale with a CSV upload or the Mass Payments API.

Payment initiation is paying out from a Yoursafe business account. You prepare a batch of payments, check it, and release it. The batch can be a file you upload, or one your own system submits.

## [Mass Payments Upload](/en/uploading-csv-files)

Upload a CSV, check the rows, and release the batch.

## [Mass Payments API](/en/mass-payments-api)

Create and manage payout batches from your own backend.
