FAQ: General
- What’s the difference between push to card & pull to card?
- A push-to-card transaction means you are pushing a payment out of an account, a pull-to-card transaction is pulling money into the account.
- How is this different from products like Venmo or CashApp?
- Jack Henry Rapid Transfers offer near-instant “me-to-me” transfers for funding the user’s bank account held by your financial institution or for sending money to one of their external accounts – all from their primary digital banking app.
Venmo, CashApp, and Zelle® are peer-to-peer payment platforms designed to send money from one person to another, and such payments do not constitute ‘rapid transfers.
FAQ: Functionality & experience
- What type of transactions can be made?
- Jack Henry Rapid Transfer is for me-to-me transactions only – such as emegency fund transfers, moving funds between a prepaid debit card and bank account, or just transferring funds between personal bank accounts.
- How do Jack Henry Rapid Transfers differ from traditional ACH transfers in terms of speed and cost?
- 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 and allows processing 24/7/365. In fact, with rapid transfers, money movement that once took days to complete can now be done in a matter of seconds.
- Are there limits on transaction amounts or frequency for Jack Henry Rapid Transfers?
- Moov has velocity limits by default; however, as the financial institution, you have the flexibility to configure your own limits, including the maximum transfer amount and the number of transfers allowed per day.
- What about cross-border money movement?
- This feature will not be included in the initial launch of Jack Henry Rapid Transfers. However, this is on the product team’s radar, as we acknowledge the challenges this presents for end users.
- Are Jack Henry Rapid Transfers irrevocable?
- Yes, as with other platforms offering similar services, once a transfer is sent, it is final and cannot be reversed.
Note: Outgoing OCTs (Original Credit Transfers) are considered irrevocable. However, AFTs (Account Funding Transfers) can result in chargebacks, which may impact the receiving financial institution. An incoming AFT can be disputed by the originating financial institution, so while the intent is finality, there are scenarios where reversals may occur.
- Does Jack Henry Rapid Transfers support real-time payments (RTP)?
- No, we are not utilizing RTP for Jack Henry Rapid Transfers.
- What about fraud and security?
- When a debit card is added, 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 of 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.
Jack Henry Rapid Transfers will present a high-risk action when adding a new card or when making a transfer.
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.

- What happens if there are insufficient funds for a payment?
- If funds are not available, the payment will fail instantly. Note: ACH transfers can fail for various reasons, many of which aren’t known until the funds are collected by the originating financial institution.
