Bare-metal APIs

Directly from the Federal Reserve

Major financial networks like Visa and FedACH have evolved over decades. Often, technology companies try to hide or abstract away their complexity, which limits what you can build. We take a different approach and strive to expose the full power.

We connect you directly to the Federal Reserve, Visa, and other networks so you can can get unfiltered access, more stability, and a flexible implementation.

Transparent data

Fewer dependencies

Stability and redundancy

Faster build times

Flexible solutions

Embed financial services that scale

Increase customers store and send billions of dollars a month through powerful and flexible tools.

Move money faster and more reliably

Programmatically send and receive ACH, wires, real-time payments, and even physical checks.

Fast by default

Same-day ACH means funds land in as little as a few hours.

Predictable timing

Submit at any FedACH window.

Settlement tracking

Get up-to-date settlement information directly from the Federal Reserve.

Correlated returns

Returns are automatically correlated using unique trace identifiers.
