FAQs
Which card networks are eligible for push-to-card services?
Visa and Mastercard networks are accessible with Cross River’s push-to-card API calls.
Are there currently any limitations for international push-to-card solutions?
Funds can be transferred to international Mastercard or Visa debit or prepaid cards only from a Cross River owned domestic (U.S) account.*
Does use of push-to-card require partners to prefund an account?
Yes. Cross River’s Operating System (COS) and Cross River’s reserve accounts can be used for new customers to prefund their P2C transactions.
Does the push-to-card program work with credit cards?
Push to card programs are generally used with debit cards. Cross River partners most often use the P2C program to push funds from a bank account to an eligible debit or prepaid card number.
Is there a transaction amount limit for push-to-card?
While each card network adheres to established limits for transactions, Cross River collaborates with partners to help establish the recommended program framework and limits at the time of implementation.**
Does push-to-card support purchase transactions for merchants?
No. Push to card network gateways like Visa Direct were created with the purpose of modernizing money transmissions. Their primary goal remains to empower consumers to send money globally, not for the purchase of goods and services.
How large is the demand for push-to-card?
The transaction volume for near real time disbursements rose over 45% from 2014 and 2018. Fund disbursements are expected to be an $80 trillion (about $250,000 per person in the US) opportunity.
