Funding instructions

Share your own account coordinates — ACH, wire, or Passport Payment ID — so a payer sends money to you.

Funding instructions are how you get paid into a Passport Account without initiating the movement yourself. You share your account's coordinates with a payer, and they push the funds to you.

This is the opposite of Collect, where you pull funds from a payer you're authorized to debit. With funding instructions, the payer initiates — you just share where to send and then track what arrives.

How inbound money lands

  • ACH and wire credits arrive from outside the platform on the routable details of your account. Each is recorded as an External Credit: auto-matched credits post automatically, while credits that can't be confidently matched wait for review before funds are applied.
  • PPI (BOOK) transfers happen entirely inside PCE. There's no external rail and no matching step — the funds settle to your account instantly as a completed transaction.

Don't treat inbound funds as final too early

An ACH credit can arrive but still sit in review, and the sending bank may show it as "sent" before it posts to you. Wait until the credit is accepted and posted (or, for BOOK, the transaction is COMPLETED) before treating funds as available. See External Credits and Transaction lifecycle.
