Dwolla

Bank payment infrastructure for platforms

Visit Dwolla

Dwolla is a payments API provider that lets platforms and enterprises move money over US bank payment networks through a single integration. It addresses the operational complexity of managing multiple payment vendors and rail-specific logic by standardizing payment statuses, exception handling, and reporting across ACH, Same Day ACH, and real-time rails.

The platform supports ACH and Same Day ACH alongside real-time transfers via the RTP Network and FedNow Service, with intelligent orchestration that automatically selects the appropriate instant payment rail based on the recipient's bank. Security features include tokenization of sensitive financial data, instant bank verification, and continuous platform monitoring. Dwolla maintains SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3 reports. The API is available for web-based integration, and developer documentation is provided for building payment flows.

Dwolla is designed for platforms and enterprises embedding payments into their products, with use cases spanning real estate, lending, B2B payments, insurance, and healthcare. Pricing is custom and tailored to transaction volume, rails, and integration needs rather than fixed tiers.
