Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Instant Payments API and how does it work?

Cybrid's Instant Payments API enables instant fund transfers by connecting to both the Real-Time Payments (RTP) network, operated by The Clearing House, and the FedNow network, operated by the Federal Reserve. These networks allows businesses to send, receive, and settle payments in real-time, 24/7, without relying on traditional banking hours. 

By embedding the Instant Payments API into your platform, you can facilitate secure, immediate payments with real-time confirmation. This integration streamlines payment workflows, enhances efficiency and provides faster access to funds for both individuals and businesses.

How quickly can I implement the Instant Payments API into my platform?

With Cybrid's Instant Payments API, you can integrate real-time payment functionality into your platform in as little as 8 weeks. This rapid implementation allows you to start processing secure, instant payments without long development cycles. 

Cybrid’s infrastructure ensures seamless integration with both RTP and FedNow, reducing complexity and providing a straightforward setup process. The API is developer-friendly, allowing you to customize and test your workflows in a sandbox environment before going live.

What are the benefits of using the Instant Payments API?

The Instant Payments API offers several advantages: 

  • - Instant Fund Transfers: Process payments in real-time, 24/7, through RTP and FedNow.
  • - Broad Coverage: Access over 70% of U.S. banks with RTP and additional institutions via FedNow.
  • - Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Automate payment workflows, reducing manual errors and improving accuracy.
  • - Secure Transactions: Benefit from real-time fraud monitoring and compliance with industry standards.
  • - Customer Satisfaction: Provide a seamless and reliable payment experience for both individuals and businesses.

By leveraging Cybrid’s API, you can modernize your payment infrastructure and stay competitive in today’s fast-paced economy.

Are there limitations to using RTP to move funds?

Yes, there are some limitations. Both RTP and FedNow are currently limited to transactions within the United States and do not support cross-border payments. Cybrid’s domestic and cross-border payment platform can help overcome those limitations (Ask us how!).

Additionally, there are transaction amount limits set by each network and may vary by financial institution. 

Both RTP and FedNow primarily support credit transfers and do not currently offer direct debits. 

Despite these limitations, RTP and FedNow provide fast, reliable and secure options for domestic payments.

How is RTP different from other payments?

RTP and FedNow differ from traditional payment methods like ACH or wire transfers in several key ways:

  • - Instant Fund Transfers: Payments settle in seconds, 24/7, unlike ACH which processes in batches and can take days.
  • - Cost Efficiency: Lower transaction fees compared to wire transfers, which are limited to business hours and often incur higher costs.
  • - Real-Time Confirmation: Immediate payment status updates enhance transparency and trust.
  • - Additional Features: Support advanced capabilities like payment requests and message attachments, providing more flexibility than other methods.
