Request To Payment


What is Request To Payment

Request To Payment is an exciting new service brought about by the Faster Payments Initiative of the FedNow US Federal Reserve providing payments that are instant, final (irrevocable - "good funds") and secure.

Real-Time instant payments, are defined simply as: Irrevocably collected funds in a bank account and usable immediately by the owner of the account. Our "Good Funds" payment gateway allows for instant real-time digital payments that are immediate, irrevocable, intra-bank and/or interbank account-to-account (A2A) transfers that utilize a real-time messaging system connected to every transaction participant through all U.S.-based financial institutions. Funds are available for use by the receiver and real-time confirmation is provided to both you ("the sender") and receiver in seconds. Most Good Funds transactions are "Credit Push" versus "Debit Pull."

Implementing a Request to Pay (RTP) functionality with Real-TimePayments.com can streamline the invoicing and payment process for businesses, offering efficient and convenient payment options for both payers and payees. Here's how Request to Pay might work within the Real-TimePayments.com ecosystem:

  1. Creation of Invoice and Request to Pay:
    • Businesses create invoices within Real-TimePayments.com's invoicing platform, specifying the details such as the amount owed, due date, and payment terms.
    • The invoice includes a "Request to Pay" option, which triggers the RTP process.
  1. RTP Delivery:
    • The RTP notification is sent to the recipient via email, SMS, or through Real-TimePayments.com's secure portal.
    • The RTP contains details of the invoice and instructions on how to make the payment, including available payment methods and timing.
  1. Recipient Response:
    • Upon receiving the RTP notification, the recipient reviews the invoice details and selects their preferred payment method.
    • Real-TimePayments.com offers various payment options, including real-time payments, ACH transfers, and other supported methods.
  1. Payment Initiation:
    • If the recipient selects real-time payments, the payment is initiated instantly through the Real-TimePayments.com platform, ensuring immediate funds availability to the payee.
    • If ACH transfer is chosen, the payment is processed through the ACH network, typically taking 1-2 business days for funds to settle.
  1. Confirmation and Reconciliation:
    • Once the payment is made, both the payer and payee receive confirmation of the transaction.
    • Real-TimePayments.com automatically updates the invoice status and reconciles the payment with the corresponding invoice, providing real-time visibility into payment processing.
  1. Integration with Business Processes:
    • Real-TimePayments.com's RTP functionality integrates seamlessly with businesses' invoicing and accounting systems, streamlining the payment reconciliation process.
    • Businesses can track and manage RTP transactions within their existing workflows, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual efforts.

By leveraging Real-TimePayments.com's Request to Pay functionality, businesses can offer recipients a streamlined and flexible payment experience, with options for real-time payments, ACH transfers, and other payment methods. This enhances cash flow management and accelerates receivables processing, ultimately improving the overall efficiency of the invoicing and payment process.
