Instant Settlement empowers our fintech customers by enabling them to access funds instantly, removing the burden of relying on their own capital or waiting 2-5 days for ACH debits to clear. Sila pre-funds the consumer’s digital wallet within seconds facilitating smoother, more efficient transactions, enhancing financial flexibility and cash flow management. While everyone is rushing to RTP (65% coverage) and FedNow both of those instant payment systems are limited by the number of banks that adopt a particular instant payment rail while Sila’s Instant Settlement doesn’t rely on banks to adopt anything and instead, it is applicable to 100% of ACH transactions on its platform.
One of the key features of Instant Settlement is its risk management approach. Customers utilizing the service are required to maintain sufficient funds in a reserve wallet to cover any potential return risks, thus ensuring accountability and mitigating financial liabilities. This unique approach makes Instant Settlement a compelling option for scenarios where ACH is the preferred method, but return risks are minimal, such as payroll processing, back-office money movements, B2B transactions, or cash transactions at brick-and-mortar locations ("good funds").
"With Instant Settlement, we are revolutionizing the way businesses and individuals access and manage their funds," said Shamir Karkal Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Sila. "We understand the importance of transaction speed in today's fast-paced business landscape, and by offering Instant Settlement, we are providing our customers with a competitive advantage that sets them apart in their respective industries."
