How Card-to-Bank Transfers Work Behind the Scenes


When a customer enters card details and clicks “Pay,” an entire system kicks into motion:
 
  • Card is validated (Luhn + BIN check)
  • Request goes to acquiring bank
  • Transaction is routed via Visa/Mastercard network
  • Authorization is received
  • Settlement is triggered to destination bank

With direct processors like PayEngineers DirectCash™, you skip the need for third-party acquirers and communicate directly with bank APIs or payment rails. This enables real-time cashout, refunds, and affiliate commissions to any IBAN or SWIFT account.
 

Fast. Transparent. Autonomous.
