Instant Disbursements & Payouts
Send money to cards without obstacles
Send funds from bank accounts directly to debit cards, in real-time — without lengthy settlement times or operational overhead.
An introduction to Instant Disbursements
Sending money to a debit card (from a bank account) should be easy, but the reality is that ACH and RTP come with delays and are difficult to orchestrate. The result? Your users can’t send funds to their external debit cards when they need to. Astra’s API helps you process instant disbursements — removing obstacles from your platform and generating new revenue streams.
