Payment Rails
Payment Rails are the underlying payment infrastructure that connects businesses to banks, payment networks, and financial institutions so money can move through the right payment channel. They support different transaction types, including ACH, wire transfers, real-time payments, card-based transfers, and cross-border transactions, giving businesses flexible ways to send and receive funds.

Payment Rails for Different Payment Needs
Businesses rarely rely on a single way to move money. Some transactions need ACH, others require wires, while time-sensitive payments may need real-time payment rails.
Payment rails give businesses access to multiple payment networks and payment channels without building separate infrastructure for every transaction type.
