Treasury Prime supports sending and receiving instant payments through the Federal Reserve’s FedNow Service at select partner banks, enabling real-time gross settlement 24/7/365.
FedNow availability varies by bank partner and requires bank approval. Contact your relationship manager to discuss availability and any associated costs.

​
FedNow key features

  • Instant Settlement: Payments settle within seconds, 24/7/365
  • Irrevocable: Like wire transfers, FedNow payments cannot be reversed once sent
  • High Value Limits: Supports large payments (please discuss limits with your bank)
  • Rich Data: Payments include enhanced remittance information

​
Managing FedNow payments

FedNow processes payments instantly, with funds available to recipients within seconds of initiation. Unlike ACH transfers that take 1-3 business days or wire transfers restricted to bank business hours, FedNow operates 24/7/365.

​
Identifying FedNow transactions on accounts

You can identify FedNow transactions on accounts by checking the fednow_id field in the Transaction object. This field contains the associated FedNow transaction ID.

​
Identifying FedNow Send/Receive transactions from /fednow endpoint

The payment_type field indicates the direction of a FedNow payment. Inbound FedNow Receive payments appear as credit, while originated FedNow Send payments display as debit.

​
Account closure and FedNow

When a ledger account is closed, it’s marked as inactive in the FedNow system. Inactive accounts automatically reject any incoming FedNow payments at the network level and cannot originate any FedNow payments.

​
FedNow webhooks

​
FedNow send webhooks

Creating a FedNow Send payment will trigger the fednow.create webhook. As the FedNow payment progresses through different statuses, the system will trigger the fednow.update webhook for each status change.

​
FedNow receive webhooks

Inbound FedNow payments will trigger the fednow.create webhook when new incoming payments are received, and fednow.update when their status changes.
