FedNow Instant Request For Payment

What is FedNow Instant Request For Payment

FedNow, Instant Request For Payment and 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 and text messaging system connected to every transaction participant through all U.S.-based financial institutions.

FedNow, the instant payment service developed by the Federal Reserve, offers several features that can benefit businesses by enabling faster, more efficient, and secure payment processes. One such feature is the "Request for Payment" (RfP), which allows businesses (Payees) to request payment from their customers or clients (Payers). Here's how businesses can use FedNow's RfP feature:
