↑ 0%Galileo Financial Technologies has enabled SoFi to offer instant bank transfers via the FedNow Service, allowing SoFi members to move money in seconds between their SoFi accounts and other US banks at any time, including weekends and holidays. Unlike most banks using FedNow Service, which only support receiving payments, SoFi enables both sending and receiving through Galileo's payment technology. The service provides 24/7 instant transfers, eliminating the typical two-to-three-day wait for ACH transfers to clear. Galileo's direct connection to FedNow Service positions it to extend these capabilities to other fintechs and businesses through SoFi Bank as a partner bank. This allows partners to launch instant payment experiences without establishing their own network connection.
