Verified steps

  1. Authenticate with your Increase API key and confirm your account has Real-Time Payments (RTP) enabled
  2. Submit a credit transfer via POST /real_time_payments_transfers with amount up to 1000000000 cents (the TCH RTP per-transfer limit is $10,000,000, raised effective 2025-02-09)
  3. Poll GET /real_time_payments_transfers/{id} or handle the real_time_payments_transfer.completed webhook to confirm settlement
  4. On rejection, inspect the rejection.reason field — TCH rejection codes include ACCOUNT_CLOSED, INVALID_CREDITOR_ACCOUNT_NUMBER, and LIMIT_EXCEEDED
  5. For LIMIT_EXCEEDED, verify the transfer amount does not exceed $10,000,000 per transaction; for account-based rejections, surface the reason to the user and do not automatically retry
  6. Implement idempotency by reusing the same idempotency key on retries for transient failures only
