Businesses today need faster, smarter ways to collect payments. With RTP® Request for Pay (RfP™) and real-time ISO 20022 messaging, merchants can send structured payment requests and track outstanding invoices in real time. Combined with free reconciliation dashboards, this solution drastically improves AR visibility and reduces collections friction.

For subscription services or monthly billing, merchants can implement “Set It and Forget It” autopay with RTP®. With a one-time standing approval, customers don’t need to authorize each transaction—making payment collection seamless and timely.

Batch uploads in .XML, .JSON, or Excel formats also allow AR departments to scale their invoicing and reconciliation without manual labor, with full compatibility across all U.S. banks and credit unions.

Call us today and receive the .csv or .xml FedNow® or Request for Payment (RfP) file you need—all during your very first phone call! We guarantee that our comprehensive reports integrate flawlessly with your bank or credit union. As pioneers in recognizing the benefits of RequestForPayment.com, we have stayed years ahead of our competitors. Although we are not a bank, our role as an "Accounting System" within the Open Banking ecosystem enables us to work with billers to create effective RfP files that seamlessly upload to the biller's online banking platform. U.S. companies rely on our expertise to learn how to deliver the RfP message directly to their bank with precision.

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.
