FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is FAST?

Fast And Secure Transfers — Singapore’s real-time interbank rail with PayNow proxies.

How fast is FAST?

Real-time. Actual settlement time is disclosed pre-approval and confirmed by signed webhook once the beneficiary bank acknowledges the credit.

Which countries can I reach through FAST?

SG. Availability is beneficiary-bank-dependent; the router falls back to wire if the beneficiary bank is not on FAST.

What currencies are supported on FAST?

SGD is the primary settlement currency for FAST. Multi-currency corridors are supported where the rail permits.

What limits apply on FAST?

Rail-specific ceilings apply; the platform surfaces them pre-approval. Higher-value transactions are automatically routed to wire.

Is FAST available 24/7?

Real-time rails (including FAST) operate around the clock. Batch and wire rails follow the local banking window.

How do I integrate FAST?

You don’t. KeyBS Pay abstracts rail selection: submit a payout to POST /v1/payouts and the router picks the fastest eligible rail. Use "method": "auto" (default) or force a specific method where policy requires.

Is FAST regulated?

Yes. KeyBS Pay routes FAST payouts only through partners licensed for the destination corridor.

Can I get a FAST settlement report?

Yes. Per-rail, per-corridor reconciliation reports are available in the dashboard and via API export.

What happens if a FAST payout fails?

Failed payouts return a signed webhook event with a machine-readable reason code. Funds remain in the source ledger and can be re-routed or refunded.

How is pricing set for FAST?

Quote-based, disclosed in full pre-approval. No undisclosed intermediary-bank deductions on eligible local rails.

Can I use FAST for consumer payouts?

Yes, where the beneficiary and route policy permit consumer flows. Stablecoin routes are business-only.

Are there cutoffs on FAST?

Real-time rails have no cutoffs. Batch and wire rails follow local banking-day windows; cutoffs are shown at quote time.

Does FAST support idempotent retries?

Yes. Every KeyBS Pay payout carries an Idempotency-Key so retries after transient errors are safe.

Which industries use FAST most?

Marketplaces, cross-border trade, workforce and NGO programs are the largest users of FAST on the KeyBS Pay platform.
