What is Request-for-Payment (RfP) with Same-Day ACH?

How RfP Enhances Same-Day ACH Transactions

Request-for-Payment (RfP) Using Same-Day ACH – Instant A2A Transactions

Transforming Payment Collection with Same-Day ACH

Traditional invoicing and payment collection are slow, expensive, and prone to delays. Businesses that rely on paper checks, manual ACH processing, and wire transfers struggle with long settlement times, high transaction fees, and reconciliation inefficiencies.

With Request-for-Payment (RfP) using Same-Day ACH, businesses can:

✅ Request and receive payments faster than standard ACH with same-day processing
✅ Use ISO 20022 messaging for structured, automated, and compliant transactions
✅ Accept multiple payment options, including Same-Day ACH, RTP®, FedNow®, and Credit Cards
✅ Integrate a .html Payment Page directly on the Payee’s website for instant checkout
✅ Enhance payment workflows for B2B, C2B, and B2C transactions

With TodayPayments, businesses can automate payment collection, reduce transaction costs, and improve cash flow management.

As pioneers in recognizing the benefits of RequestForPayment.com, we have stayed years ahead of our competitors.

Our advanced solution, Today Payments' ISO 20022 Payment Initiation (PAIN.013), demonstrates how to create a Real-Time Payments Request for Payment file that sends a clear message from the creditor (payee) to its bank. Most financial institutions support the import of messaging and batch files for both FedNow® and Real-Time Payments (RtP), ensuring smooth processing. Once the file is correctly uploaded, the creditor’s bank processes the payment through a secure "Payment Hub"—with The Clearing House serving as the RtP Hub—and relays the message to the debtor's (payer's) bank. This streamlined approach not only accelerates transaction processing but also enhances transparency and reliability for all parties involved.
