SnapRefundās modern payment API simplifies account-to-account (A2A) payments, empowering insurance companies to automate money movement, significantly reducing processing times and improving profitability. Our payment API also connects to the physical world by providing a paper check mailing service, equipped with a multitude of shipping speeds and tracking options to ensure that you stay compliant with relevant insurance regulations and support all of your insureds, even those without bank accounts.
SnapRefund also leverages Plaidās secure service to act as an intermediary link between your bank account and our financial application. When you and your insureds link your external bank accounts to SnapRefund via Plaid, Plaid takes the account credentials you provide, encrypts any financial data requested (such as an account-holderās identity), and then supplies it back to SnapRefund through a secure connection.
