:::

With Cross River's modern platform and easy-to-use APIs, you can create custom banking solutions.  Built on the OpenAPI specification, our APIs are clear, consistent, and simple to integrate. Use tools like cURL, Swagger or Postman to test endpoints in our sandbox environment. This helps you tailor your solution to fit your business needs. Our API endpoint request examples are provided in multiple codes: cURL, Node.js, Python, Ruby and Go.

Stay updated with real-time events using our webhook system. No need to for API polling to constantly check for updates. Our webhooks notify you instantly about important changes like account updates and transaction statuses.
