User Capabilities
Last updated: June 17, 2026
Depending on your program configuration, users may be enabled for up to real-time account-to-account settlement, account-to-card gross debit eligibility, and unlimited daily card-to-card transfers. The actual capabilities granted to any given user are determined by a multitude of factors including but not limited to the User's KYC status, the User's activity on the platform, your program's setup, and Astra's internal risk assessment.
If a user is downgraded, their capabilities will be reduced to the lowest available tier for each payment type:
Account-to-Account —
max_settlement_speeddrops toT+4, the slowest settlement window.Account-to-Card (Gross Debit) —
is_eligiblebecomesfalse, disabling access to instant disbursements.Card-to-Card —
transfer_count_limitis capped at1transfer per day.
You can check the current capabilities for any user at any time via the List Capabilities for a User endpoint.
