Request for Payments


What is Request for Payments

A "Request for Payment" (RFP) is a term used to describe a payment request in various payment systems, including FedNow, real-time payments, and the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. However, the specific features and implementation of RFPs can vary between these systems.

  1. FedNow:
    • FedNow Service is a real-time payment service in the United States offered by the Federal Reserve. In the context of FedNow, an RFP can be initiated by a payee to request payment from a payer in real-time. The RFP typically includes details such as the amount due, payment request date, and other relevant information.
    • RFPs in the FedNow system can streamline payment processes by allowing for instant payment initiation and approval. These requests are typically handled in real-time, facilitating quick and efficient payment transactions.
  1. Real-Time Payments:
    • In the broader context of real-time payment systems, such as Faster Payments in the UK or other similar systems worldwide, RFPs are also used to initiate payment requests in real-time. The process is similar to FedNow, where a payee generates an RFP with payment details and sends it to the payer for approval and immediate execution.
  1. Automated Clearing House (ACH):
    • ACH is a network used for electronic funds transfers in the United States. While ACH is not a real-time payment system, the concept of RFPs can still be applied. In ACH, an RFP might be used by businesses or billers to request electronic payments from customers' bank accounts. These requests are typically processed in batches on specific days, not in real-time.
In summary, the term "Request for Payment" refers to a payment request mechanism in various payment systems, including FedNow, real-time payments, and ACH. The main difference is the speed of payment processing, with FedNow and real-time payment systems allowing for instant payments, while ACH processes payments in batches. The specific procedures and technical standards for handling RFPs can vary based on the payment system and regional regulations. RFPs aim to simplify payment requests, reduce errors, and improve efficiency in payment transactions.
