Orum Teams Up with Visa Direct to Launch Faster Payments

Written by Bryan McCarty | Feb 26, 2025 1:20:36 AM

Orum is enhancing the capabilities of our Deliver API solution to include real-time fund transfers to and from bank accounts via debit card, powered by Visa Direct. 

Deliver is the simplest API for fast, reliable payments. The best-in-class money movement solution allows businesses and financial institutions to integrate quickly to a single API that optimizes and orchestrates payments across FedNow, RTP, Same Day ACH, ACH, Wires – and now Visa Direct.

U.S. customers are now able to use Deliver to reach over 99% of bank accounts in the US via a linked debit card. 

 

These card payments are often referred to as Original Credit Transaction (OCT), or push to card, and Account Funding Transaction (AFT), or pull from card. With Orum’s Deliver API businesses can support a variety of use cases such as making immediate payments for cash advances or enabling quick settlement of transactions for insurance or refunds. In today’s world of real-time expectations, users expect fast, seamless payment experiences. And with today’s announcement, you can deliver just that.

At Orum, our mission is to make money move — we are thrilled to add Visa Direct to Orum’s Deliver API. We’ve heard our customers loud and clear, and built this game-changing solution to empower businesses to move money across millions of additional accounts. At Orum, we are obsessed with customer feedback, and the demand for card rails to be added into a unified solution was evident. We’re proud to partner with Visa, continue innovating on our Deliver API, and expand our innovative offerings.
