###### FAQs

## All your fleet questions, answered in one place

##### Which payment methods does Astra support?

Astra supports a wide range of bank and card payment “rails” included within simple, flexible solutions for your use case. Currently, Astra facilitates Visa Direct, Mastercard Send, ACH, RTP, and FedNow.

##### How does Astra differ from a payments gateway?

A traditional payments gateway will only relay transaction messaging and typically only for one payment type, leaving you to build most of the security, operations, and orchestration yourself. As a platform, Astra provides the technology and tooling you need out of the box.

##### What is the pricing model for the Astra API?

The Astra platform leverages transparent “cost plus” usage-based pricing of our API and payment capabilities. For more information on rates for your program, please contact sales.
