An introduction to Accelerated Bank Transfers

One of the most common ways of transferring funds is via ACH (Automated Clearing House). That being said, the transfer structure isn’t totally risk-proof, while standard timelines just aren’t up to snuff. With Astra, ACH transfers come with improved fraud detection and — you guessed it — speed.

Optimize ACH transfers for faster clearing

Protect your product from fraud and make it super easy for your customers to send large sums of money, with real-time settlement.

Connect bank accounts

Quickly and easily add source and destination bank accounts to end-user profiles via your existing connections.

  • Add accounts through Plaid or MX

  • Me-to-Me, Peer-to-Peer, Business-to-Business, Consumer-to-Business

  • Integrate optional rules like Sweeps, Refills, Recurring Routines, and more
