Real-Time Push Payment


What is Real-Time Push Payment

The speed of business today requires instant, accurate, and flexible payment processing. Waiting on traditional bank transfers or batch settlements can put your business behind. That’s where Real-Time Push Payments come in—delivering funds directly and instantly.

At TodayPayments.com, we help businesses send and receive real-time payments through both the RTP® (Real-Time Payments) Network and The FedNow® Service. Whether you’re managing multiple branches, divisions, or subsidiaries across the U.S., we provide the infrastructure to get your funds where they need to be—instantly.

How a real-time push payment from a payer to a payee can be executed using either FedNow or RTP (Real-Time Payments):

  1. Scenario Overview:
    • Payer: The entity or individual initiating the payment.
    • Payee: The entity or individual receiving the payment.
    • Payment Amount: The amount to be transferred from the payer to the payee.
    • Real-Time Payment Network: Either FedNow or RTP, which facilitate instant fund transfers between financial institutions.
  1. Initiation:
    • The payer initiates the payment through their financial institution's online banking portal, mobile app, or another interface.
    • They specify the payee's information, including their account details (such as account number and routing information) and the payment amount.
  1. Validation and Authorization:
    • The payer's financial institution validates the payment request, ensuring there are sufficient funds and that it meets any relevant security checks.
    • Once validated, the payer's financial institution authorizes the payment to proceed.
  1. Transmission:
    • For FedNow:
      • The payment instruction is transmitted in real-time through the FedNow Service, which operates 24/7/365.
      • The payer's financial institution communicates directly with the payee's financial institution via the FedNow network.
      • The payment message includes information about the payer, payee, and transaction details.
    • For RTP:
      • The payment instruction is transmitted through the RTP network, also operating 24/7/365.
      • The payer's financial institution sends the payment message to the RTP network, which then routes it to the payee's financial institution.
      • The payment message contains standardized ISO 20022 data elements, ensuring interoperability and rich information exchange.
  1. Clearing and Settlement:
    • Upon receiving the payment message, the payee's financial institution verifies the transaction details.
    • Funds are immediately credited to the payee's account, reflecting the real-time nature of the transaction.
    • Simultaneously, the payer's financial institution debits the payer's account for the payment amount.
    • The transaction is settled between the financial institutions participating in the real-time payment network.
  1. Notification:
    • Both the payer and the payee receive real-time notifications confirming the successful execution of the payment.
    • The payer sees the deduction from their account balance, while the payee sees the addition of funds to their account.
  1. Completion:
    • The payment process is completed instantaneously, with funds transferred from the payer to the payee in real-time.
    • Both parties can immediately access and use the transferred funds for their intended purposes.
In summary, both FedNow and RTP enable real-time push payments, providing a seamless and efficient way for payers to transfer funds to payees instantaneously. These payments offer benefits such as speed, certainty, and enhanced transparency, making them ideal for various use cases, including person-to-person transfers, bill payments, and business transactions.
