Wave already vets its merchants to make sure they are legitimate users, and that the funds moving to them are goodfunds. He said that, from Wave’s point of view, the funds are those the firm plans on paying out anyway, so it’s up to Wave to make sure its risk engines are tuned to accelerate when those funds move.
Chime also offers no-fee paycheck advances that make funds available to workers as soon as the deposit is initiated by the payroll provider and the bank is alerted. The brand has been popular with young professionals.

We know when a transaction qualifies as goodfunds,” he emphasized. “We If the transaction has to be reconciled at the end of the process, shouldn’t it also be reconciled through every step in between as well? “We We know when to release money out the ‘other’ door; we know how to push value back through the network.”
This was done to simulate a fraudster’s tactic of stealing most parts of an identity but changing components for misdirection (thus allowing them to have goods, funds or services delivered to themselves rather than to the legitimate consumer).
Instead, it’s a lack of certainty that goodfunds are on the way — and when they’re expected to arrive. When funds settle isn’t much of a friction, since, with that information in hand, decisions about cash and working capital can be made. Limits have also been raised for those payments.
“The beauty of the virtual card is that it’s the only payment modality today that solves the four biggest challenges in [the] payment process: speed, goodfunds, reconciliation [and] fraud risk,” explained Blair Jeffery, chief operating officer at payments processing company Noventis.

In the B2B payments world, the uncertainty over when goodfunds will post to a supplier’s account has kept innovation at an impasse. It’s why, when asked, all suppliers say they’d love to be paid faster, but they’d love even more to know when goodfunds will be available for them to spend.
As Ingo Money CEO Drew Edwards told PYMNTS , “There are enough rails in place today to provide ubiquity, choice and instant access to goodfunds for consumers. We need to give payors more options to deliver choice, and more ways to build trust with the consumers and SMBs that the funds they get instantly will not be clawed back.”.
A payment is the embodiment of goodfunds to an authenticated buyer and supplier, along with the detailed data that travels with it. But as longtime readers of PYMNTS and of my columns know well, faster is only one piece of the overall value of making or receiving a payment.
All too often, cardholders with goodfunds backing them up see their cards declined. “Most issuers are using a form of neural networks as a foundation of how they determine whether or not to authorize a card from a fraud perspective,” said Parker.

Everyone agrees that consumers and businesses need and want fast options for moving money between parties.
Businesses wait to be paid by their buyers — not knowing when the money will actually be received, if it is goodfunds and sometimes how much they’ll get. So do their corporate customers: certainty that there are goodfunds and certainty about when they can access the money. Businesses spend a lot of time waiting too.

To me, given the financial stress that people who take out payday loans face, that seems like a pretty good track record.
