1-day payment terms

Note: This article primarily applies to Ramp Administrators. Cardholders may find other articles in the Payments, limits, and statements section to be more applicable.

Overview

1-day terms* (or daily payments) are a payment configuration on the Ramp Card. The key components of 1-day terms are:

  1. Payment frequency: payments are pulled automatically each day from your Ramp Business Account to cover settled transactions from the previous day.
  2. Limit: Your limit is generally equal to 100% of the available balance in your Ramp Business Account.

  • What is the Ramp Business Account?
    The Business Account‡ is an account where you can store funds that can be used to pay Card statements, for Bill Payments and Reimbursements.

The Business Account cannot be used to receive external payments, receive transfers from bank accounts that are not linked to Ramp, or make payments outside of the Ramp platform.

The Business Account is a deposit account offered through First Internet Bank of Indiana, Member FDIC (FIB). Ramp is not a bank, and all bank services are provided by FIB.

  • Does the Business Account offer FDIC Insurance?
    Yes – the Business Account offers multimillion-dollar FDIC coverage provided through First Internet Bank of Indiana, Member FDIC‡. Ramp Business Account customers with a deposit account provided by FIB can use the ICS service provided by IntraFi Network LLC to have funds placed into FDIC-insured bank accounts across a network of FDIC-insured banks. Deposits are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum allowed by law. 
  • Does the Business Account have any fees or minimums associated with maintaining it?
    No – there is no minimum balance requirement and no fees required to maintain the Business Account.
  • How do I make transfers into the Ramp Business Account?

    There are several ways to transfer money into the Ramp Business Account. They can be split into two categories:

    Manual Transfers: 

    There are two different options to make a one-time deposit into the Business Account

    ACH Deposits

    To transfer money to the Business Account from one of your linked bank accounts, navigate to Business Account > Transfer Funds. From there, you can select which bank account you would like to withdraw from and what amount you would like to transfer.  Note: You are only able to make ACH deposits from a linked commercial / business bank account. We do not support transfers from consumer bank accounts at this time.

    Wire Transfer

    To make a wire transfer into your Business Account, you can navigate to Business Account > Wire instructions to see the relevant Account/Routing numbers to send the wire transfer to. The daily cutoff time for Ramp to recognize inbound wire transfers is 5 pm ET. Note: These account/routing numbers are only able to be used to receive inbound wire transfers. Any ACH transfers using these account/routing numbers will not be recognized.

    Automated Transfers: 

    There are two different options to make automated deposits into the Ramp Business Account: Target Balance and Recurring.

    Setting up automations can feel a bit complex at first, so we’ve provided detailed instructions and examples to guide you through the process. Take a moment to review the steps carefully to ensure your automations work exactly as you expect. When setting up an automation, you will also see a summary of the expected behavior. 

     

    Target Balance Automation

    The Target Balance Automation ensures your Business Account balance is maintained at a specific level. Ramp will automatically transfer funds from your linked bank account when your balance drops below your desired target.

    Steps to Set Up a Target Balance Automation:

    1. Choose a Target Amount: This is the balance you want to maintain in your Ramp Business Account.

    2. Set a Trigger: Decide when Ramp should check your balance. You can choose:

    • Day of the Week: Ramp checks your balance on a specific day each week.
    • Account Balance Changes: Ramp checks your balance whenever it changes (e.g., after a payment).

    How It Works:

    • Day of the Week Example:

    • Target Balance: $100,000

    • Trigger: Every Monday

    • Current Balance: $25,000

    On Monday, Ramp sees your balance is $75,000 short of the target. Ramp automatically transfers $75,000 from your linked bank account.

    • Account Balance Example:

    • Target Balance: $50,000

    • Trigger: Balance falls below $10,000

    • Current Balance: $20,000

    You make a bill payment of $15,000, dropping your balance to $5,000. Ramp initiates a transfer of $45,000 to bring your balance back to $50,000.

     

    Recurring Transfer Automation

    A Recurring Transfer Automation schedules regular deposits to your Business Account at intervals you choose. This is ideal for businesses with predictable cash flow needs.

    Steps to Set Up a Recurring Transfer Automation:

    1. Select a Transfer Amount: Decide how much money you want to transfer regularly.

    2. Set a Schedule: Choose how often the transfer occurs (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly).

    3. Link a Bank Account: Connect the account Ramp will use for transfers.

    Example:

    • Transfer Amount: $50,000

    • Schedule: Every two weeks

    Ramp will transfer $50,000 from your linked bank account to your Business Account every two weeks.

     

  • How long do deposits take to become available in the Ramp Business Account?
    • For ACH: ACH deposit settlement time depends on a number of factors including previous usage to date and information from your connected bank accounts§. They can settle as quickly as same-day for eligible deposits or as long as 5 business days. Each time you initiate a transfer, you will be able to see the estimated settlement date before confirming the transfer.
    • For Wire Transfers: Inbound wire transfers will become available in the Business Account as soon as they are received at FIB. FIB has a daily cut-off time of 5 pm ET, so any wire transfers sent after that time will not be recognized until the following business day. The cut-off time at the bank where the wire transfer is being initiated may be different, so please confirm with your bank when the wire transfer will be sent before initiating.
