  Well done guys! Question though, if a debit can settle out of my checking account through my debit card (ie my Simple account) in minutes at a traditional merchant (gas station), why do you credits take 1-2 days to settle?
  • mtamizi 12y ago
    (ceo of Balanced) Under promise. Over deliver. That's the best way to answer that. :-) We have partnerships and direct ATM network integrations to clear in real-time for ~55% of debit cards. I didn't want to promise that until we've done enough volume to see that clearing time for ourselves instead of basing it what our partners have communicated to us. Once I have enough data/proof, I'll update the language to reflect the faster speed.

      Totally fair! Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

  Are there plans to raise the $2500 limit at some point or is this some type of system restriction with Debit Card transactions? Also, is there a total daily limit?
  • mtamizi 12y ago
    No daily limits. Visa limits the transactions to $2,500 per transaction. Other networks don't have as well defined of a limit. We set the $2,500 limit in the API to set a reasonable expectation. We'll learn more about the limits over time and document it here: https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/603 https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/603
