Requesting For Payments


What is Requesting For Payments

Requesting For Payments is an exciting new service brought about by the Faster Payments Initiative of the FedNow US Federal Reserve providing payments that are instant, final (irrevocable - "good funds") and secure.

Real-Time instant payments, are defined simply as: Irrevocably collected funds in a bank account and usable immediately by the owner of the account. Our "Good Funds" payment gateway allows for instant real-time digital payments that are immediate, irrevocable, intra-bank and/or interbank account-to-account (A2A) transfers that utilize a real-time messaging system connected to every transaction participant through all U.S.-based financial institutions. Funds are available for use by the receiver and real-time confirmation is provided to both you ("the sender") and receiver in seconds. Most Good Funds transactions are "Credit Push" versus "Debit Pull."

Recurring invoicing with a "Requesting for Payment" approach using real-time payment methods is a convenient way to automate regular payments between parties. Here's how it can be implemented:

1.     Set up Recurring Invoices: The payee sets up recurring invoices specifying the details of the transaction, including the amount owed, frequency of payment (e.g., monthly, quarterly), description of goods or services, payment terms, and any other relevant information. This can typically be done through invoicing software or accounting platforms that support recurring billing.

2.     Send Payment Requests: Instead of waiting for the payer to initiate the payment each time, the invoicing software automatically sends payment requests to the payer at the scheduled intervals. These payment requests can be sent via email, text message, or through the chosen invoicing platform or payment app.

3.     Real-Time Payment Authorization: Upon receiving the payment request, the payer can authorize the payment in real-time using their preferred payment method. This may involve setting up a recurring payment authorization with their bank or payment provider, specifying the payment amount and frequency.

4.     Real-Time Payment Processing: Once the payer authorizes the recurring payment, funds are transferred from the payer's account to the payee's account in real-time or within a matter of minutes, depending on the specific real-time payment system used. The payment is processed automatically according to the predefined schedule.

5.     Confirmation and Record Keeping: Both the payer and payee receive immediate confirmation of each recurring payment transaction. The payment details are automatically recorded and reconciled by the invoicing software or accounting platform, simplifying record-keeping and financial management.

By implementing recurring invoicing with a "Requesting for Payment" approach using real-time payment methods, businesses can streamline the billing process, reduce manual intervention, and ensure timely and consistent payments. This approach is particularly beneficial for subscription-based services, membership dues, rent payments, and other recurring expenses.
