The best answer depends on the magnitude of the payments. Are we talking about penny/dollar payments or O($100) or O($1000) payments?

I'd be interested in your recommendation for dollar amounts as it's actually likely to be 100s at a maximum really. Thanks
With small payouts, a significant percentage of the payments will be taken by the middlemen.

With large payouts, people will have to wait a long while before the first payment, and may end up believing its a scam.

If you dont mind can you describe what you are doing?

Hi, sorry for the secrecy. Without going into too much detail, i'd be taking larger payments from businesses and paying chunks of multiple of those payments each to individuals. Similar perhaps to adsense. Ie a single individual wouldn't just get say 10% of a single payment but of several.
