Cross River Launches Request for Payment (RfP) to Power Smarter, Real-Time Money Movement
A leader in instant payments and an early adopter of the RTP ® network, Cross River moves over $1 billion monthly in real-time disbursements across RTP ® and FedNow combined. However, while outbound payments have become instant, inbound funding has lagged — dependent on ACH and wire transfers that operate on batch processing and limited banking hours. Now, Cross River will be one of the first financial institutions to support RfP on the RTP ® network, paving the way for faster and more reliable pay-in options.
'The current reality of money movement is imbalanced — payments go out in seconds, but pay-ins often take a day or more,' said Adam Goller, EVP and Head of Fintech Banking at Cross River. 'RfP is a smarter, more flexible way to receive incoming funds. It gives our partners greater control over timing, real-time visibility into each transaction, and reduces the need for overfunding or constant balance monitoring — all while delivering a better experience for the end user.'
RfP allows businesses to send a secure, digital request for payment — enabling payers to authorize and send funds instantly with greater control, a significant step forward in streamlining the payment experience and reducing friction in how money moves. With RfP, businesses will be able to instantly fund digital wallets and accounts, reduce operational friction from delayed deposits, and improve customer experience with smooth, real-time pay-in options.
Plaid, the first to implement RfP functionality with Cross River, will enable real-time pay-ins for Carvana customers. This integration allows car buyers to complete purchases instantly and seamlessly — eliminating the friction typically caused by traditional bank transfers.
'Instant payment rails unlock huge value for businesses and end customers by reducing friction, accelerating funding, and boosting conversion,' said Brian Dammeir, Global Head of Payments and Financial Management at Plaid. 'Through our partnership with Cross River, Plaid Transfer now offers instant pay-ins, instant payouts and Same Day ACH, as part of a full solution with best-in-class account linking and optimized conversion, so customers can tailor bank payments across their business.'
Built on Cross River's proprietary API-based banking core infrastructure, COS, the RfP solution was developed with security, transparency, and compliance at its core. Each RfP is presented to the recipient by the receiving financial institution for explicit authorization, ensuring full control over every transaction. This adds a critical layer of security and trust, while improving the user experience on both ends of the exchange.
Cross River is continuing its mission to modernize financial services and provide real-time tools that reflect the pace of today's economy. This new capability reflects Cross River's commitment to building a more inclusive and modern financial system — where speed and safety go hand in hand.

CyberCube Flags Sectors at Highest Risk for Scattered Spider Attacks
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CyberCube, the global leader in cyber risk analytics, has identified Manufacturing, Education, IT, and Retail as the sectors most at risk of attacks from Scattered Spider, the versatile extortion crew behind the recent spate of high-profile hacks. Scattered Spider has evolved from a newly identified social‑engineering crew in 2022 into one of the most aggressive ransomware‑and‑extortion outfits on today's threat landscape. Since April this year, Scattered Spider has been moving swiftly across industries, leaving financial losses in its wake. The group has expanded its campaigns across seemingly unrelated sectors, including retail, insurance, and airlines, using sophisticated social engineering tactics such as help desk impersonation and authentication bypass to infiltrate high-value corporate networks. Cyber risk exposure managers can leverage CyberCube's Portfolio Threat Actor Intelligence (PTI) solution to pinpoint organizations in their portfolios most at risk of being targeted by Scattered Spider. CyberCube has analyzed a portfolio of approximately 15,000 companies from key global markets, segmenting them into risk tiers based on their exposure to Scattered Spider, specifically their technology footprint and observed security weaknesses. The analysis found that 2% of companies with revenues over $500 million across eight key cyber (re)insurance markets — USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, and Singapore — face the highest likelihood of being targeted by Scattered Spider. CyberCube identified 287 high-risk companies (2%) that use three or more technologies frequently targeted by Scattered Spider, combined with security lapses the group is known to exploit. Notably, high-risk companies also tolerate security conditions that may allow the threat actor to complete critical steps across the attack lifecycle and ultimately achieve their objectives. Medium-risk companies (1,037, or 7%) use at least one of the group's preferred technologies and exhibit security weaknesses that could enable only partial progression through the attack lifecycle. In a blog published online, CyberCube has also provided an industry breakdown of the high-risk companies for potential Scattered Spider attacks. William Altman, Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence Services and blog author, said: 'CyberCube's analysis reveals both a current cluster of elevated risk in the market and a strategic opportunity for cyber (re)insurers to act preemptively by managing exposure and incentivizing better security before Scattered Spider strikes again. For portfolio managers, our findings reinforce the need to move beyond broad sector assumptions and focus on mapping technological and security posture overlaps across seemingly unrelated sectors and insureds.' Portfolio Threat Actor Intelligence (PTI) harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to map the behaviour of cyber threat actors and the technologies they most frequently target. It is included as part of the CyberCube Concierge Threat Intelligence service — a first-of-its-kind offering designed specifically for the unique needs of cyber (re)insurers, built by experts in cyber threat intelligence, risk, and insurance.
