Instant payments started with real-time payments through the RTP® network in 2017 and expanded with the addition of the FedNow® Service, developed by the Federal Reserve, in July 2023. Leveraging the RTP network today prepares you for expansion of instant payment options. In the future, intelligent routing will direct each instant payment to the optimal network for each payment.
Send and receive instant payments of up to $1 million through the RTP network. Benefits include immediate settlement of funds, data-rich messaging and 24-hour access every day of the year.
The Federal Reserve launched the FedNow Service in July 2023, which will greatly expand the network for instant payments up to $500,000 over the next few years, particularly with smaller regional banks and credit unions.
Leverage the RTP network to receive payments and benefit from immediate reconciliation by sending requests for payment directly to clients.
