Real-Time Payment Request
What is Real-Time Payment Request
Real-Time Payments is an exciting new service brought about by the Faster Payments Initiative of the FedNow ™ US Federal Reserve providing payments that are instant, final and secure. FedNow, Real-Time Payment Request 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.
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
- 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.
- 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
- Immediate Payments: Customers can pay immediately upon receiving the request, which improves cash flow for businesses.
- Convenience: The ability to pay via SMS or email links makes it easy for customers to settle invoices quickly and securely.
- Reduced Processing Time: Real-time payments reduce the time needed for processing payments, compared to traditional methods.
- Enhanced Security: Secure payment links and real-time processing minimize the risk of fraud and enhance transaction security.
- Improved Customer Experience: The convenience of paying through a simple link improves customer satisfaction.
Integration with QuickBooks
- QBO and QuickBooks Enterprise: These platforms can integrate with FedNow and RTP services via plugins such as SecureQBPlugin.com. This integration enables businesses to send RfP through digital invoices, SMS, and texting.
- Payment Tracking: Payments are tracked and recorded automatically within QuickBooks, ensuring accurate and up-to-date financial records.
Use Cases
- B2B Transactions: Businesses can request payments from other businesses for services rendered or products supplied.
- C2B Transactions: Customers can pay for products or services immediately upon receiving an invoice or notification.
- Recurring Payments: Businesses can set up recurring payment requests for subscription services or regular billing cycles.
