  • pull: linked bank account -> Sila wallet/Priority ledger account. Also referred to as an "issue" transaction.
  • push: Sila wallet/Priority ledger account -> linked bank account. Also referred to as a "redeem" transaction.
  • internal transfer: Sila wallet -> Sila wallet. Also referred to as a "ledger_to_ledger" or a "book transfer."

  • Note: Priority requires that cutoff times are earlier than the NACHA schedule to allow time for transactions to process and be sent forward to the ACH Network.
