Same-Day ACH
Same-Day ACH Payouts
Same-Day ACH delivers funds to any US bank account within 24 business hours through the Automated Clearing House network.
How It Works
When a payout is initiated with speed = "same_day", Coinflow submits the transaction to the ACH network using same-day processing windows. Funds typically arrive within the same business day if submitted before the cutoff time, or by the next business day.
NACHA Per-Transaction Limit
Same-Day ACH is subject to NACHA’s $1,000,000 per-transaction limit. If a payout exceeds this amount, Coinflow automatically downgrades the transaction to Standard ACH (2-3 business days). The effective speed is returned in the API response so your integration can inform the user.
Individual providers and receiving banks may enforce lower limits.
Implementation
Pass speed = "same_day" when initiating a payout:
{
"speed": "same_day",
"amount": { "cents": 500000 },
"account": "<bank-account-token>"
}
When amounts exceed the NACHA limit, the response includes the effective speed:
{
"signature": "...",
"effectiveSpeed": "standard"
}
