Photo: SpotOn / Unsplash [Apex Network](https://giftcard.news/company/apex-network/) has introduced a Smart AI feature in its app to accelerate eligible gift-card resale transactions. In a September 23 announcement, the company said the workflow was designed to complete qualifying trades in under three minutes. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) The feature targets the initial response and processing stages after a user submits card details. Payout follows transaction approval, and Apex says timing varies with the card type, transaction information and required verification. The sub-three-minute figure is therefore a company claim for eligible transactions, rather than a guarantee covering every card or a measured average published with supporting test results. The announcement does not provide an eligibility list, a comparison sample or detailed processing benchmarks. Apex positions the update as part of the next stage of its gift-card trading service. It reports more than 300,000 users and over one million gift-card transactions, but those are broader platform totals rather than results attributable to the new feature. The confirmed change is a processing feature within the existing resale app. The release does not announce a new gift-card issuing program or establish its claimed industry-first status independently. ## In this article ### Companies * [Apex Network](https://giftcard.news/company/apex-network/) ### Sources and documents * [\[S01\] Original primary announcement](https://blog.apexnetwork.co/apex-network-becomes-first-multi-trading-platform-to-launch-smart-ai-for-gift-card-to-cash-in-under-3-minutes/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news) — Apex Network Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fapex-network-smart-ai-gift-card-resale-processing%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Apex+Network+adds+AI-assisted+gift-card+resale+processing&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fapex-network-smart-ai-gift-card-resale-processing%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Apex+Network+adds+AI-assisted+gift-card+resale+processing+https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fapex-network-smart-ai-gift-card-resale-processing%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Suzie Elis](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/suzie-elis-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Suzie Elis](https://giftcard.news/author/suzie-elis/) Journalist — Gift Cards & Digital Gifting Suzie Elis covers gift card products, digital gifting and distribution for Gift Card News.
