Transport
Pay your drivers in seconds, not two business days.
Drivers and carriers run on cash flow. Astra sends driver pay and factored invoice funds straight to a debit card, with an optional fee that becomes a new revenue line.
What instant payouts change for a fleet platform
Win and keep drivers
Drivers go where the money lands first. If you pay in two days and the next platform pays in seconds, you lose them.
Turn payouts into revenue
Apply an optional fee to instant transfers. Drivers who want their money now pay for it, and a new line appears on your P&L.
Stop running settlement by hand
Nothing to fund ahead of every weekend and holiday, and no balance to re-size as volume grows. Astra pushes each payout the moment it is due and debits an account of your choosing the next business day.
Driver pay
Pay drivers the moment the load closes
Push earnings to a driver’s external debit card in seconds over Visa Direct or Mastercard Move. Funds are available immediately, on nights, weekends, and holidays, and transfers fail at roughly 4 basis points against about 1% on standard ACH. Add an optional fee for instant access and the payout becomes a revenue line.
- Back up option
- Push earnings to a driver’s external debit card in seconds over Visa Direct or Mastercard Move. Funds are available immediately, on nights, weekends, and holidays, with a failure rate a fraction of ACH’s. Add an optional fee for instant access and the payout becomes a revenue line.
The driver never leaves your app
A driver authorizes faster payments, links a debit card, and requests the payout, all inside your product. Astra's PCI-compliant form collects the card details, so card data never touches your systems. If you are already PCI compliant, use your own form instead.
No pre-funding
Astra credits the driver's card the moment the payout is due and debits an account of your choosing the next business day. Your balance keeps earning where it sits, and weekends and holidays stop being your team's problem.
Invoice Factoring
Fund factored invoices in seconds, not days
When a carrier factors an invoice, the advance should arrive as fast as the approval. Push the advance to the carrier’s debit card instantly, or to their bank account over RTP or FedNow on the same integration. Carriers get their cash flow. You get a reason to win the account.
