Payment methods
The payment methods available for a given Moov account depend on the linked funding source as well as the capabilities on that account. For example, if your account isn’t linked to a verified bank account, you won’t have the ability to send funds with the ach-debit-fund
payment method.
Once you’ve added a bank account or card and it’s been verified, your account will automatically be updated with the new payment methods available to you. You can see what payment methods are available using the following:

Sending to a bank account
After linking a bank account, the corresponding Moov account will automatically have the following payment methods:
ach-credit-standard
: Can only be the destination of a transfer, taking between 3-4 business daysach-credit-same-day
: Can only be the destination of a transfer, receiving funds within 1 business dayrtp-credit
: Can only be the destination of a transfer, receiving funds in near real-time
In other words, any Moov account with a connected bank account can receive funds. However, until that bank account has been verified via micro-deposits or instant account verification, it cannot be debited.
Funding from a bank account
Once the sender party Moov account has the send-funds
capability enabled and a verified bank account, the following payment method will be available:
ach-debit-fund
: Can only be the source of a transfer
The ach-debit-fund
payment method indicates ACH funding of a payout, or adding funds to a Moov wallet.

You can also use a verified bank account to fund a collection transfer (for example, a bill payment). Moov accounts with verified bank accounts and the transfers
capability will receive the following payment method:
ach-debit-collect
: Can only be the source of a transfer
The ach-debit-collect
payment method indicates destination entity pulling funds (for example, a bill payment where the utility company is pulling funds from someone else’s account).

card-payment
: Can only be the source of a transfer
Moov wallet
Any account with the wallet
