Help & FAQHow can we help?
Quick answers about your RT account, payments, cards and AI Shopping. Can’t find what you need? Email support@rt.app.
Getting started
What is RT?
RT.APP is a stablecoin-first money app for people, businesses and their AI agents. It brings together global USD accounts, Visa virtual cards, payments by card, bank transfer and USDC, and AI Shopping with your approval.
What is USDC?
USDC is a digital dollar. It’s designed so that 1 USDC is worth about US$1. You can hold USDC in RT, receive it and send it to another USDC wallet.
How do I open an account?
Join the waitlist with your account type, name, email and country. Our closed beta is full, and public onboarding is coming very soon. We’ll email you the moment your account is ready, then you complete the account checks for your country.
Should I choose a personal or business account?
Choose personal for your everyday money. Choose business to receive customer payments, pay suppliers and give your team and AI agents spending limits. You can join the waitlist for both.
Is RT available in my country?
It depends on your country, your account type and the checks we need to complete. Pick your country when you join the waitlist, and we’ll email you the next steps.
Can I try RT before I sign up?
Yes. Open the demo to explore a sample business workspace. It uses demo data only, and no real money moves.
Sending money
How can I receive money into my account?
Your global USD account comes with account details in your name for supported USD transfers, such as ACH and wire.
How do I add money to my account?
Give your account and routing numbers to your bank or employer. You’ll find them under Account details in the RT app. You can also receive USDC on the Base network at your wallet address.
How do I send money?
Open Send money and choose US bank transfer or Send USDC. Pick or add your recipient, enter the amount and check the review screen. To finish, enter the code we email you and your password.
How do I move money to my own bank account?
Open Send money, choose a bank account in the US, and pick your own account. Businesses can also link their bank under Add money.
Can I send money abroad?
Yes. Global Transfers sends money to bank accounts in 31 currencies. Your recipient gets local currency in the bank account they already have, and doesn’t need an RT account or a crypto wallet.
Can I send USDC from my account?
Yes. Open Send money and choose Send USDC. Pick or add the recipient’s wallet, enter the amount, then confirm. A USDC send can’t be reversed once it’s sent, so always check the wallet address and network first.
Why did my transfer fail or get cancelled?
Common reasons are wrong recipient details, a recipient account that can’t receive the money, the recipient’s bank sending the money back, a transfer over a limit, or a transfer that expired before it could finish.
When a transfer fails, is cancelled or is sent back, the money returns to your available balance. Check the transfer under Recent transfers in Send money, fix the details and try again. If you’re not sure why, contact support.
Why isn’t all my balance available yet?
Some money may still be clearing. Some may be set aside for a card purchase or transfer that hasn’t finished yet. If that purchase or transfer is cancelled, the money comes back to your available balance.
Getting paid (business)
How can customers pay my business?
By card, digital wallet, bank transfer and USDC, depending on your checkout setup, your eligibility and your region. You can also sell NFTs with our NFT checkout.
Who can accept payments with RT?
Accepting customer payments needs a verified business account. Personal accounts can pay, but can’t take payments as a merchant.
When can I use money from a customer payment?
Card payments are usually available right away, though some card sales become available after 48 hours. Bank transfer payments are available once they clear, usually in about 3 business days. USDC payments are available once the payment is confirmed on the network.
Can AI agents buy from my business?
Yes. You can accept direct USDC payments from people and from AI agents their owners have authorized. Each payment is linked to its order. See how it works.
Do I need a developer?
You can start with payment links. To build payments into your own product, use our developer APIs for checkout by card, bank transfer and USDC.
Can I take payments in person?
Not yet. Online bank transfer checkout comes first, and in-person tap to pay is next.
What does “Sent back by customer’s bank” mean?
The customer’s bank reversed a bank transfer payment, for example because there wasn’t enough money or the customer said they didn’t approve it. We take the amount back from your balance. If you’ve already spent it, we take it from your next payments, then from your linked bank.
Can a customer dispute a bank transfer payment?
There’s no dispute process for bank transfers. The only thing that can happen afterwards is that the customer’s bank sends the payment back.
What is a chargeback?
A chargeback is when a customer asks their card company for their money back. If your chargebacks go above 0.70% of your paid card sales over 60 days, we hold your payouts. Above 0.90%, we block the account.
How do I refund a USDC payment?
A USDC payment can’t be reversed, and there’s no refund button. A refund is a new, normal USDC send back to the customer: open Send money and choose Send USDC. Confirm their wallet address and network first.
How do I take payments on my WooCommerce store?
In the RT app, download our WooCommerce plugin, create a key and add your store’s website address. Try it in Test mode first.
What is Test mode?
Test mode lets you try payments without real money. Turn it on or off in your business settings. Payments keep the mode they were made in.
How do I give my staff access?
Invite them from Team in your settings. Each role sees only what it needs.
Cards
What cards does RT offer?
Visa virtual debit cards that spend from your RT balance. Get one from Cards in the RT app, then use it at compatible merchants.
Where does card spending come from?
From your available RT balance. Money that is pending or held can’t be spent until it’s available.
Can I freeze a card?
Yes. Open the card in the RT app and choose Freeze card. Unfreeze it any time, and your card number stays the same.
How many cards can my business have?
The Starter plan includes 2 virtual cards. The Growth plan includes unlimited cards and spend controls. Businesses can set limits per card and assign each card an owner.
AI shopping
How does AI Shopping work?
Connect your AI app to RT and add RT to the browser or phone you shop on. When your AI is ready to buy, RT pays with a one-time card or USDC. AI Shopping is in early access.
Does my AI need my approval to buy?
You decide. You set shopping rules, including how much your AI may spend. Purchases that fit your rules go through. Anything outside them waits for you to approve it in RT. Connecting an AI doesn’t let it spend on its own.
Can my AI see my card number?
No. RT fills a one-time card at checkout through our browser add-on or the RT app on your phone. Your AI never sees your card details.
Which AI apps can I connect?
Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and other AI apps, plus coding tools such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. Some AI apps only allow connections on paid plans. You can connect more than one.
Where can my AI shop?
At any online store that takes cards or USDC.
How do I stop my AI from shopping?
Open AI Shopping and choose Disconnect for one AI or all of them. You can also change or turn off your shopping rules.
What does the browser add-on collect?
Only what it needs to pay for a purchase you allowed. It doesn’t collect your browsing history. Read the RT Agent Checkout privacy notice.
Fees
How much does a personal account cost?
Nothing. Personal accounts are free, with no monthly subscription.
How much does a business account cost?
Starter is $0 a month, Growth is $499 a month, and Scale has custom pricing. Compare business plans.
Will I see the fee before I send money abroad?
Yes. When you send money abroad, you’ll see the fee, the exchange rate, the amount your recipient gets and an arrival estimate before you confirm.
What fees might I see on my business sales?
Fees for chargebacks, payments from international cards and identity checks on your sales. You’ll see each fee in your account.
Security & your money
Is RT a bank?
No. RT is a financial technology company, not a bank. We provide software for payments and card services through regulated partners. Percentagem Envolvente, Lda. (Portugal) serves the EU and EEA, and RealtimePay Inc. serves the United States and other regions.
How do you protect my account?
Each time you sign in, we ask for your password and a 6-digit code that we email to you. You can choose another way to get the code in Account settings, under Verification. We protect your data with encryption in transit, access controls and monitoring.
What should I never share?
Your password, verification codes, full card details or identity documents. Please don’t send them in support chats.
What if I see a payment I don’t recognise?
Freeze the card in the RT app straight away, then contact support@rt.app or call +1 844-604-1604.
