Answers before you ask

FAQ

How do I pick the right rail?

ACH for cost, Fedwire for large same-day transfers, RTP for instant delivery around the clock. See Transfer Routes for cross-border routing and conversion through Foreign Exchange.

Can non-US companies use USD rails?

Yes, non-US businesses can hold Infinite Accounts with their own US routing and account numbers, provided through chartered, FDIC-insured partner banks, and move dollars on domestic US rails, subject to onboarding and compliance review. Eligibility depends on entity type and jurisdiction.

What are Infinite’s cutoffs and limits?

Infinite’s cutoffs and per-account limits are shared during onboarding. For settlement windows, see the ACH, Fedwire, and RTP glossary entries.

What happens when an ACH payment returns?

A webhook carries the return code, and the return reconciles against the original payment. For returns at scale, see Global Mass Payments.

Can we send USD payments on weekends?

Yes, over RTP, which settles 24/7/365. Other rails follow their own operating windows. See the RTP glossary entry.
