Galileo Launches Bank Transfer Services for Fintech Companies
Galileo Financial Technologies, a subsidiary of SoFi Technologies, Inc., a global fintech leader, is launching wire transfer services for other fintech organizations. This development will enable these companies to provide fast, reliable fund transfers for their customers, furthering Galileo’s commitment to improving the financial experience.
This new service includes the Galileo Bank Transfer API, which connects directly to the Fedwire Funds Service for fintech companies that are members of the Community Federal Savings Bank (CFSB), subject to CFSB approval. The API provides a fast and scalable solution to the growing market demands for rapid financial transactions. It also promotes cost-effective transfers, bypassing traditional banking barriers and expanding opportunities for growth and business collaboration.
The enhanced service simplifies incoming and outgoing transactions, offering a reliable way to transfer money. Especially useful for large and time-sensitive transactions such as real estate payments, college tuition, or vendor services, the service also provides full transparency on fees and the ability to track transactions.
