Jack Henry Rapid Transfers

What is Jack Henry Rapid Transfers?

Jack Henry Rapid Transfers enable lightning-quick money movement, allowing both business and retail users to enjoy near-instant results when transferring funds between the user’s own accounts, also known as “Me-to-Me transfers”. In addition to the benefits of swift money movement, this also allows for:

  • Instant transfers between accounts from different financial institutions
  • Moving money from digital wallets or prepaid debit cards to a primary bank account

How does it work?

Through partnership and integration with Moov and the Moov Wallet, as well as Mastercard Send and Visa Direct, we can offer near-instant transfers to and from debit-card based accounts for both retail and business customers. Rapid transfers really are much faster, because they’re sent over card rails rather than traditional ACH. The shift to the fast lane dramatically cuts transfer completion times.

How does Jack Henry Rapid Transfers stay secure?

Moov and Jack Henry perform a validation — called an account name inquiry — with the card brand to ensure the name on the card matches the name of the end user at the financial institution. The end user must also complete a 2FA security code verification. Adding an external debit card is an action that requires step-up authentication within Banno.

Additionally, Jack Henry Rapid Transfers will be considered a high-risk action by Jack Henry.

Beyond the advanced validation practices that Moov and Jack Henry perform, Moov’s cloud-based native processing engine enables ongoing transaction monitoring across its entire network of transactions, not just those limited to your financial institution.
