Fintech developer Tom Wang releases a technical guide to US payment rails, correcting widespread search-engine errors regarding transaction caps. The guide details API payloads, ISO 20022 message formats, and legal regimes for ACH, RTP, FedNow, and Fedwire. It provides engineers with accurate integration data, including the updated $10 million limits.
