This guide walks you through the process of configuring fund disbursements in your Basefund transactions.

Adding a Receiver

  1. Select "Add Receiver"

    • In the transaction details view, locate the Receiver(s) section

    • Click the "Add Receiver" button

  2. Choose and Configure the Receiver

    • Select a Participant Organization from the drop-down list of your contacts

    • Specify their Participant Type (e.g., Ratings Agency, Insurer, Bond Counsel, etc.)

    • Complete the "Amount to be Received" and "Purpose" fields

    • Select a Clearer from the drop-down under "Receiving Money From"

    • Select the appropriate payment rail from the Transaction Method drop-down

  3. Manage Receiver Contacts

    • After clicking "Create," you'll be prompted to add a contact associated with that Receiver

    • Contacts who already have a BaseFund account will be automatically invited

    • To invite new participants, click the paper airplane icon to the right of their name

Important Notes

  • All organizations must be added to your contacts before they can be selected as transaction participants

  • Each receiver must be linked to a funding source (typically a Clearer) to establish the complete flow of funds

  • The system maintains a clear audit trail of all disbursements for security and compliance purposes

  • Receivers will only have visibility into their specific role in the transaction
