The problems it solves

The hidden cost of disconnected payment systems

  • Split tender strains the checkout

    Rewards, a gift and a card are three tenders at the register. One failing can unwind the sale.

  • Reconciliation happens after the fact

    Processor, balance and partner each keep their own record. At month end, the differences are finance’s problem.

  • Paying vendors is manual work

    Suppliers, delivery networks and marketplace sellers each need their share of a sale. The manual queue grows with volume.

Common questions

No. Accrue works alongside your POS and either uses its processor relationships or calls your existing processor on your behalf. Accrue tracks the payment and keeps the wallet ledger. For payments run through your existing processor, refunds, disputes, and chargebacks stay with that processor, as they do today.

Closed-loop spend is a purchase paid from a balance you already hold for the customer, rather than over a card network. Settling it over ACH means those dollars can skip interchange, so you save money on each purchase.

Accrue runs the sponsor-bank relationships and the bank-payment orchestration underneath your program. Banking services are provided by Cross River Bank, Member FDIC. Accrue keeps a double-entry ledger reconciled continuously against money settled on its rails.

Accrue charges the difference to the customer’s saved card or bank account, so you still capture one payment. Balance, top-up, and rewards land as one ledger entry. If the backup charge fails, the payment declines.

For card-rail purchases, that single payment is captured on a single-use virtual debit card issued by Accrue.
