FAQs

How do risk and compliance features vary by industry?

Aeropay adapts its risk and compliance features to each vertical. Gaming platforms benefit from real-time fraud detection on high-volume deposits and withdrawals. Subscription businesses use durable bank connections and balance checks to reduce failed renewals. Healthcare and wellness merchants rely on Aeropay’s compliance controls to accept cashless payments in heavily regulated environments.

How does Aeropay help prevent duplicate accounts and identity fraud?

Aeropay combines bank-verified identity data (name, phone, address) with device fingerprinting and transaction history to ensure each user is legitimate. This reduces risks from synthetic identity fraud, account takeovers, and duplicate sign-ups, all of which are growing challenges in digital payments.

How does Aeropay’s AI help detect and prevent fraud?

Aeropay’s models analyze billions of data signals across the network, flagging suspicious behaviors such as duplicate account creation, unusual transaction velocity, or mismatched identity details. These models retrain continuously, adapting to new fraud patterns as they emerge. Businesses benefit from cutting-edge fraud protection without needing in-house machine learning teams.

How does Aeropay ensure compliance with U.S. payments regulations?

Aeropay is registered as a money transmitter where required, operates under BSA/AML standards, and complies with NACHA operating rules. The platform includes KYC/KYB onboarding, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting, helping businesses remain compliant while processing pay by bank at scale.

How does Aeropay handle ACH return codes and failed payments?

ACH returns are a common pain point, with industry-wide failure rates between 1–3%. Aeropay reduces these by validating account data during bank linking and checking balances before a payment is processed. As a result, R03/R04 invalid account returns drop by up to 66%, and R01 insufficient funds returns by over 40%, leading to higher approval rates and fewer operational costs.

How does Aeropay reduce fraud in bank-to-bank payments?

Fraud in ACH and bank payments often stems from stolen credentials, duplicate accounts, or insufficient funds. Aeropay addresses these risks by verifying bank accounts at onboarding, running balance checks before transactions, and applying AI fraud models trained on millions of data points. This reduces insufficient funds returns by more than 40% and eliminates chargebacks entirely.

How does Aeropay guarantee settlement?

If a payment is returned for insufficient funds or another ACH return reason, Aeropay still guarantees that the merchant gets paid. This removes financial risk for businesses and ensures confidence in scaling pay by bank as a reliable addition to cards.

How does Aeropay keep pay by bank transactions secure?

Aeropay builds security into every layer of the payment flow. Transactions use bank-level encryption, tokenization, and multifactor authentication to ensure credentials are never exposed. Real-time monitoring and AI-driven fraud detection add another layer of protection, while Aeropay undergoes SOC 2 Type II audits annually.

What are guardrails, and how do they help businesses manage risk?

Guardrails are configurable rules that businesses can set to control risk in real time. Examples include flagging transactions above $1,000, blocking high-velocity activity, or requiring stronger verification for new users. Guardrails work alongside Aeropay’s fraud models, giving businesses flexibility to tailor risk settings without sacrificing approval rates.
