nbkc Bank Partners with Interchecks for Instant Push-to-Card BaaS Payments
On October 23, 2025, nbkc bank announced a partnership with Interchecks to add instant push-to-card payment capabilities to its banking-as-a-service platform. nbkc, operating as a BaaS sponsor bank, integrates Interchecks' disbursement technology to offer real-time payment delivery directly to recipients' debit cards. The partnership allows fintechs and non-bank companies using nbkc's platform to provide compliant, instant disbursements without building their own payment rails. Push-to-card functionality addresses growing demand for real-time payouts in use cases such as insurance claims, gig economy payments, and lending disbursements.
Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed. The integration strengthens nbkc's competitive positioning in the BaaS sponsor bank market by expanding beyond traditional account and card services into faster payment modalities. For end users, the change means near-instant access to funds compared to traditional ACH timelines.
