AI In Every Payment

AI Is How The Platform Works, Not A Side Feature

AI sits inside the payment flow itself. It scores every payment before money moves, and your rules decide what happens next.

Scores Every Payment

Each payment gets an AI Risk Score from 1 to 10, built from the sender’s history and fraud metrics, before it is sent.

Reads The Signals

New devices, recent credential changes, unusual amounts and recipient risk all feed the score in real time.

Acts On Your Rules

Approve, hold, reject, suspend the user or ask for step-up authentication. Your team sets the thresholds.

Rules

Per-transfer limit $1,500

The Payments Hub

One Integration For Every Payment Rail

FAQ

Everything Banks And Credit Unions Ask Us

What is Neural Payments?

Neural Payments helps banks and credit unions futureproof their payments strategy. Its AI-powered payments hub powers FI Payouts for the institution itself, P2P, account funding and FedNow access inside the institution’s existing digital banking app, without rebuilding the stack.

How does Neural Payments use AI?

AI is part of how every payment moves. Each payment gets a Neural Payments AI Risk Score from 1 to 10 before it is sent, based on the sender’s history and fraud signals such as new devices, recent credential changes, unusual amounts and recipient risk. The institution’s rules decide what happens next: approve, hold, reject, suspend the user or ask for step-up authentication.

Does Neural Payments replace Zelle?

No. Most of the institutions we work with already offer Zelle, and Neural Payments sits alongside it. We fill the gaps Zelle does not cover, such as business payouts, push-to-card and small-business payments.

How does Neural Payments work with Visa and FIS?

For Visa, Neural Payments sends push-to-card payments through Visa Direct and adds controls on the business cards an institution already issues. For FIS, Neural Payments connects into the FIS Money Movement Hub.

What is a payments engine?

A payments engine is the core technology that moves money between senders and recipients. The Neural Payments engine connects ISO 8583, ISO 20022 and API-based rails so a single integration can reach bank accounts, debit cards and digital wallets.

Who can receive payments?

Anyone. Recipients do not need to bank with the sender’s institution. They choose to receive funds to a bank account, a debit card or a digital wallet, with no app download.

Which payment networks does Neural Payments integrate with?

ACH and RTP, FedNow, debit card networks for push-to-card, and popular digital wallets.

Which financial institutions is Neural Payments built for?

Community banks and credit unions modernizing their digital offering, mid-sized banks focused on fraud reduction and real-time payments, large institutions that need a scalable engine, and non-traditional providers that need payouts and account funding.

Which digital banking platforms are supported?

Neural Payments integrates with most leading digital banking providers, including Q2, Alkami, Apiture and FIS. If your provider is not listed, ask; it is likely already supported.
