Ask Us Anything About Our Fraud Prevention API
What type of security best practices for Sila’s API payment data are there?
All of Sila’s APIs come with customer due diligence best practices, including Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB) and other ingrained compliance.
While payment data collected through the Sila API is secured by the Sila platform and our partners, each client will have to follow payment data best practices to ensure this data is secure.

At this time, the Sila platform alone only supports U.S. bank accounts and credit unions. But you can send money internationally when you partner Sila with any of our international money transfer API partners, such as Corpay, Currencycloud, and Thunes.
