You can use the Circle API [sandbox environment](🔗) to exercise various types of payout behaviors, such as transaction failure or transaction returned.
No Real Payouts
The [sandbox environment](🔗) will allow any payout amount (except magic amounts specified below) to any bank account. Successful requests will **never send money to a bank account**.
