Top Integration

Made With Your Customers In Mind

All Neural Payments solutions are built to enhance your customer's experience while also retaining your businesses branding. Forget 3rd party apps and off-network flows, the process is white labeled and owned by your business.

"Anyone can build a fast connection. The hard part is building a fast connection that's actually safe. We designed the Neural Payments Hub to eliminate the 'spaghetti code' typical of legacy banking technology. With one integration you get a single, clean pipeline for FedNow - send, receive, and request for payment - that's ready in as little as 30 days.

But because we're obsessively paranoid about security, that pipeline is armored with our Fraud Rules Engine. It acts as a real time firewall, handling step-up authentication, send/receive limits and time-based restrictions automatically. We took on the complexity and the risk so you can just take on the transactions."

- Daniel Norton, Neural Payments Co-Founder & CTO

FedNow and Neural Payments At A Glance

Still have questions? Read below to see how we're integrating the Neural Payments Hub with FedNow.

What is FedNow?

FedNow is the Federal Reserve’s real-time payment network, allowing financial institutions to send and receive instant payments 24/7/365. It supports both consumer and business transactions, enabling immediate settlement between accounts.

What types of payments can we send through Neural Payments and FedNow?

We support peer-to-peer (P2P), account-to-account (A2A) and request-for-payment (RFP) payments through FedNow. Whether you're looking to enable consumer instant transfers or internal transfers across business accounts, our platform handles it securely and in real-time.

Is FedNow safe for Banks and Credit Unions to offer?

Yes, but it requires robust and thoughtful fraud controls. Because FedNow operates 24/7 with immediate settlement, banks and credit unions must implement advanced risk mitigation. Neural Payments solves this through our Fraud Rules Engine, which protects your institution from threat actors without compromising instant access.

What is a Payments Hub?

A payments hub is the core technology that enables the seamless movement of money between senders and recipients. Neural Payments' engine goes beyond simple transactions, providing a fast, secure, and flexible platform that integrates seamlessly with your financial institution’s digital systems. It empowers users to send payments instantly to any bank account, debit card, or popular fintech wallet, giving recipients the freedom to choose how they receive funds—no need for a shared app or platform.

With Neural Payments, you’re not just processing payments; you’re delivering a modern, customer-focused experience that enhances trust and satisfaction.

How does your Fraud Rules Engine Work?

Neural Payments' advanced fraud rule engine combines real-time monitoring, machine learning, and customizable rules to minimize fraudulent activity while ensuring smooth payment processing. Here's how it works:

  • Real-Time Detection: Transactions are analyzed instantly to detect unusual patterns, such as abnormal amounts or suspicious accounts.
  • Customizable Rules: Your financial institution can tailor fraud rules to match your risk tolerance, ensuring maximum protection with minimal disruption.
  • Proactive Updates: Our engine continuously learns and adapts to emerging fraud threats, keeping your institution one step ahead.

The result? A safer payments experience for you and your customers without sacrificing speed or convenience.

How does Neural Payments mitigate fraud risks with FedNow?

All payments through our FedNow integration are monitored and gated by our Fraud Rules Engine, which includes:

  • Customizable thresholds and velocity limits

  • PCI-compliant iframe protection for front-end experiences

  • Real-time transaction scoring

  • Support for tiered user limits based on account risk profile

Our system enables Compliance Officers to tailor fraud logic to your institution’s risk appetite, giving you real-time control without introducing latency.

“Compliance Officers can rest assured that all money movement exceeds industry standards of consumer protection.”

Can we adjust fraud settings specific to FedNow payments?

Absolutely. You can configure rules specific to FedNow transactions, including maximum dollar amounts, frequency caps, originator/recipient logic, and even block/allow lists. These settings are controlled via your admin dashboard.

What’s required to get started with FedNow through Neural Payments?

If you're already a Neural Payments customer, activation is simple:

  1. Request FedNow activation via your account manager.

  2. Complete the compliance and rule configuration onboarding.

  3. Begin sending and receiving instant payments, fully white-labeled.

If you're a new customer, we’ll handle the full process, including integration with your core system and digital banking provider.

What digital banking platforms are supported?

Neural Payments integrates with most leading digital banking providers, including:

  • Q2

  • Alkami

  • Apiture

  • FIS
    ...and many more. If your provider isn’t listed, reach out, we likely already support them.

For a full list of our current digital banking support, follow the link here. Don't see your institution? Reach out anyway, we're always looking for pilots to work with in integrating to new platforms.

Can I add features from Neural Payments' FedNow integration into my banking app's current FedNow access?

Since our FedNow solution is built for the Neural Payments Hub, integration with our underlying payment technology will still be required to access our FedNow features.
