New Features

​

Payment Posted Confirmation

We’re excited to announce posted, a new payment status that closes the loop on payments by confirming when they have successfully landed in your users’ accounts.

With real-time account data, Method now provides a level of visibility that was previously unavailable in the U.S. financial system. By knowing if and when a payment has been applied, you can deliver timely and actionable updates to your users—boosting confidence and creating a seamless payment experience.

Key highlights:

• Enabled for all payments: The feature is live for all teams and payments processed via Method’s V2 API (version: 2024-04-04) going forward.
• No action required: Start using this feature immediately—just consume the new status in your integration.
• 75% coverage: We expect approximately 75% visibility into posted status, with improved coverage as more accounts are subscribed to updates.
• Unlock new use cases: Use the posted status to notify users via push notifications, emails, or in-app messages, keeping them informed and engaged.
• Account subscription required: In a future release, the posted status will only be available for accounts subscribed to updates.

New Method Brand

We’re excited to introduce Method’s new visual identity, marking a new chapter in our journey under the same thesis we had on day one: consumer financial data is a walled garden, and we’re going to be the ones to open it up.

The updated design features:

• A new icon and wordmark
• A refined color palette centered around Method Opal: a bold, fresh, and vibrant cyan
• A new website
