# US (ACH, Wire & RTP/FedNow)

> Step-by-step guide to adding a US bank beneficiary on Devdraft, so you can send payouts via ACH, Domestic Wire, or RTP/FedNow.

# Overview

Before you can send a payout to someone in the US, you need to add them as a recipient and provide their bank details. This guide walks through the full flow  from tapping **+** on the Recipients screen to submitting a completed US bank beneficiary.

## What You Need Before You Start

Have the following ready before you begin:

| Info                 | Notes                                                              |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Owner type**       | Whether the beneficiary is an **Individual** or a **Business**     |
| **Beneficiary name** | Name exactly as it appears on the bank account                     |
| **Bank name**        | e.g. Bank of America                                               |
| **Account number**   | The recipient's US bank account number                             |
| **Routing number**   | The recipient's US bank routing number                             |
| **Billing address**  | Street address, city, postal code, and state on file with the bank |
| **Payment rail**     | Which of ACH, Domestic Wire, or RTP/FedNow you intend to use       |

***

## Step 1 — Start Adding a Recipient

From the **Recipients** tab, tap the **+** icon in the top-left corner.

  Recipients screen → tap **+**
</Frame>

## Step 2 — Choose the Recipient Type

The **Add Recipient** popup opens with four destination types:

| Option                  | Description                         |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **International bank**  | ACH, Wire, SEPA, PIX, SPEI and more |
| **Stablecoin wallet**   | Send to a wallet address            |
| **Zambia bank**         | Bank account in Zambia              |
| **Zambia mobile money** | Airtel or MTN in Zambia             |

Select **International bank**.

***

## Step 3 — Choose the Country / Account Type

A second **Add Recipient** screen lists the supported account types:

* **US Account** — ACH & Wire, routing + account number
* European (IBAN) — SEPA, IBAN + BIC
* Mexican (CLABE) — 18-digit CLABE account number
* Brazilian Account — PIX, PIX Safe & TED
* Argentine Account — Transfers 3.0 (CVU, CBU or alias)
* Colombian Account — ACH Colombia bank transfer
* International SWIFT — Cross-border wire via SWIFT/BIC

Select **US Account**.

***

## Step 4 — Choose the Payment Rail

Select which US payment rail this beneficiary will be paid through:

| Rail              | Speed             | Fee         | Notes                              |
| ----------------- | ----------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **ACH**           | Next business day | 1.5%        | Standard, lowest-cost option       |
| **Domestic Wire** | Same business day | \$20 + 1.5% | Faster, higher fixed fee           |
| **RTP / FedNow**  | Receive same day  | \$5 + 1.5%  | Sends on weekends and holidays too |

<Tip>
  The payment rail determines how quickly the recipient gets paid and what fee applies — choose based on the recipient's urgency, not just cost. RTP/FedNow is the only rail of the three that sends on weekends and holidays.
</Tip>

## Step 5 — Owner Details (1/2)

The **Owner** screen collects who the beneficiary is. Start by selecting **Account Owner Type**: **Individual** or **Business**. The fields below change depending on your selection.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Individual">
    | Field                      | Required | Notes                                               |
    | -------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Account Owner Type**     | Yes      | Select **Individual**                               |
    | **Display name**           | Optional | Only visible to you — e.g. *"Wise EUR account"*     |
    | **Beneficiary name**       | Yes      | Name exactly as it appears on the bank account      |
    | **Bank Name**              | Yes      | e.g. Bank of America                                |
    | **Account Category**       | Yes      | e.g. Savings or Checking                            |
    | **Recipient Relationship** | Yes      | Your relationship to this recipient (e.g. Employee) |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Business">

    | -------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Account Owner Type**     | Yes      | Select **Business**                                 |
    | **Business Name**          | Yes      | The registered business name                        |
    | **Beneficiary name**       | Yes      | Name exactly as it appears on the bank account      |
    | **Bank Name**              | Yes      | e.g. Bank of America                                |
    | **Account Category**       | Yes      | e.g. Savings or Checking                            |
    | **Recipient Relationship** | Yes      | Your relationship to this recipient (e.g. Employee) |
    | **Business Industry**      | Yes      | The recipient business's industry                   |
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Warning>
  A profile picture placeholder and **"Add a name first"** prompt appear until you enter a Business Name or Beneficiary name — the Continue button stays inactive until the required fields on this screen are filled in.
</Warning>

Once all required fields are filled in, tap **Continue** to proceed to Bank Details.

***

## Step 6 — Bank Details (2/2)

The final screen collects the recipient's actual bank account and billing address:

| Field              | Required | Notes                                             |
| ------------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Account Number** | Yes      | The recipient's US bank account number            |
| **Routing Number** | Yes      | The recipient's US bank routing number (9 digits) |
| **Street Line 1**  | Yes      | Billing street address                            |
| **Street Line 2**  | Optional | Apartment, suite, or unit number                  |
| **City**           | Yes      | Billing city                                      |
| **Postal Code**    | Yes      | Billing ZIP/postal code                           |
| **State**          | Yes      | Select from the state/province picker             |

<Note>
  Double-check the account and routing numbers before submitting — an incorrect number is the most common reason a payout fails or is misdirected.
</Note>

Once every field is complete, tap **Add Bank Beneficiary** to save the recipient.

***

## What Happens Next

Once saved, the beneficiary appears on the **Recipients** screen with a **Bank** label under their name, and is ready to receive a payout on the payment rail you selected in Step 4.

<Info>
  If you need to send this recipient a payout on a different rail later (e.g. you added them for ACH but now need RTP/FedNow), you'll need to check whether the app lets you edit the existing beneficiary's rail or requires adding them again with the new rail selected.
