The Future of Instant Mobile Payments Has Arrived

Request for Payment (RfP™) via FedNow® and RTP® is transforming how
businesses get paid—instantly, securely, and with full payer
control. Welcome to a smarter way to invoice and collect money
in real time.
How RfP™ Works with FedNow® and RTP®
Mobile Payments
Alias-Driven Payments—No Routing Number Needed
Instead of requiring sensitive account and routing numbers, Request for Payment (RfP™) allows merchants to use aliases such as:
- Mobile phone numbers
- Email addresses
- QR codes (Quick Response Codes)
- Assigned payee identifiers
These aliases direct the customer to a hosted payment page, enabling them to complete real-time payments using FedNow®, RTP®, or other rails like ACH, Cards, and BNPL.
Multi-Channel Invoicing: Email, Text, SMS, and QRC
Merchants and service providers can send RfP™ invoices through:
- Mobile Text (SMS)
- Email links
- QR codes for POS or delivery
- Clickable Pay-Now buttons in invoices or portals
This enables payment completion in under 10 seconds—direct from the customer’s mobile device to your bank account.
