Authvia Integrates Visa Direct to Enable Real-Time Payouts via Text and Messaging

Authvia, the leader in conversational commerce and text-based payment innovation, today announced it has integrated Visa Direct, Visa’s real-time¹ money movement platform, into its TXT2PAY® solution. Leveraging the combined technology of Authvia and Visa Direct, which facilitates the delivery of funds directly to eligible Visa debit cards in real-time, Authvia is enabling real-time disbursements across industries like healthcare, automotive services, insurance, and gig economy platforms through a single text message.

“Whether it’s sending a co-pay reimbursement to a patient, returning a deposit to a customer, or disbursing funds to a technician in the field, businesses need modern payout solutions that are fast, secure, and frictionless”

Through this integration, Authvia has expanded its TXT2PAY capabilities to include real-time outbound payouts to eligible Visa cards in select markets, enabling businesses to issue refunds, insurance settlements, payments, incentives, and reimbursements to consumers without requiring physical checks, apps, or portal logins. Using Authvia’s patented messaging commerce platform, recipients can verify their identity, confirm payout details, and, for eligible Visa card transactions, typically receive funds in real time—all within a familiar messaging thread.

“Whether it’s sending a co-pay reimbursement to a patient, returning a deposit to a customer, or disbursing funds to a technician in the field, businesses need modern payout solutions that are fast, secure, and frictionless,” said Chris Brunner, Founder and CEO of Authvia. “Our collaboration with Visa Direct reinforces our commitment to eliminating payment delays and delivering next-generation experiences through messaging.”
