To revolutionize payment communications by delivering real-time payment request solutions that empower businesses to send mobile-friendly, instant, and irrevocable digital invoices—settled in seconds with RTP®, FedNow®, and ISO 20022 messaging.

Instant, Irrevocable, and Mobile-Friendly Payment Requests

Today’s businesses can’t afford to wait for payments—or for customers to dig through emails or paper invoices. With Real-Time Payment Requests (RfP™), you can send a secure, scannable, or tappable payment prompt directly to the payer’s device—via mobile phone, email, SMS, or QR code.

Backed by FedNow® and RTP® payment rails and powered by ISO 20022 rich data messaging, each RfP™ delivers irrevocable good funds in seconds. Whether you're billing via POS, MOTO, ecommerce, or digital invoicing, this is the fastest, most secure way to get paid.

Real-Time Payment Request (RfP™) empowers payees to initiate a payment prompt directly to the payer—via mobile SMS, text, email, or a scannable Quick Response Code (QRC). Once the payer authorizes the transaction, funds are deposited instantly via RTP® or FedNow®, providing certainty of good funds with no risk of revocation.

This system dramatically shortens the time from invoice to cash, eliminates AR bottlenecks, and improves payer convenience by offering hosted payment pages with selectable funding options—ACH, BNPL, cards, or real-time.

Batching, Recurring Requests, and ISO 20022 Integration

Businesses can batch-send RfP™ messages or set up variable recurring requests using structured ISO 20022 files. Upload batch payment requests using Excel, .XML, or JSON, and automatically transmit them to banks and credit unions for real-time processing.

These requests can be scheduled, automated, or manually triggered—ideal for:

  • Subscription billing
  • Utility payments
  • Wholesale orders
  • On-demand service payments

With full integration into accounting platforms, RfP™ enables businesses to scale receivables with speed and security.

Real-Time Payment Request (RfP), also known as "Request for Payment," is an innovative feature that enhances digital invoicing by enabling real-time payments through various channels such as digital invoices, SMS, and texting. Here’s how it works and the benefits it offers:

How RfP Works

  1. Digital Invoicing:
    • Generation: Businesses generate digital invoices within their accounting software, such as QuickBooks Online (QBO) or QuickBooks Enterprise.
    • Delivery: These invoices can be delivered to customers via email or other digital means.
    • Payment Link: The invoice includes a payment link that customers can click to initiate a real-time payment.
  2. SMS and Texting:
    • Notification: Customers receive an SMS or text message notification about the invoice.
    • Payment Link: The message contains a link to the invoice and the payment portal.
    • Immediate Action: Customers can click the link and make an instant payment using FedNow or RTP.

Benefits of RfP

  1. Immediate Payments: Customers can pay immediately upon receiving the request, which improves cash flow for businesses.
  2. Convenience: The ability to pay via SMS or email links makes it easy for customers to settle invoices quickly and securely.

  • Payment Tracking: Payments are tracked and recorded automatically within QuickBooks, ensuring accurate and up-to-date financial records.

Use Cases

  1. B2B Transactions: Businesses can request payments from other businesses for services rendered or products supplied.
  2. C2B Transactions: Customers can pay for products or services immediately upon receiving an invoice or notification.
  3. Recurring Payments: Businesses can set up recurring payment requests for subscription services or regular billing cycles.
