Businesses and Individuals will be using, instant Real-Time Bill Pay, via Request for Payments.
Definition: FedNow ™ instant payments are real-time payments: FedNow - Federal Reserve instant payments. Financial institution’s customer-facing systems for services like bill payment, cash management, peer-to-peer (P2P) payments, and emergency disbursements. Messages such as request for pay, request to pay, payment confirmations, and remittance detail are used to create frictionless customer-facing interactions.
Implementing recurring instant payments with acknowledgment from payee to payer in both RTP (Real-Time Payments) and FedNow systems involves several key steps and considerations:
1. Understanding RTP and FedNow: RTP is a real-time payment network operated by The Clearing House (TCH), allowing instant payments between participating financial institutions. FedNow is a similar system operated by the Federal Reserve, offering real-time payment services.
2. Recurring Payment Setup: The payer (the one making the payment) needs to set up recurring payments with their bank or financial institution. This involves specifying the payee (recipient), payment amount, frequency, and duration of the recurring payments.
3. Acknowledgment Mechanism: An acknowledgment mechanism needs to be established to ensure that the payee confirms receipt of each payment to the payer. This acknowledgment could be in the form of a notification, message, or confirmation initiated by the payee's bank upon receiving the payment.
4. Integration with RTP and FedNow: The payer's bank or financial institution must integrate with both the RTP and FedNow systems to facilitate instant payments. This integration enables the bank to initiate and process payments in real-time through these networks.
5. Payment Routing: Once the payer initiates a recurring payment, the payment instruction is routed through either the RTP or FedNow network, depending on the infrastructure used by the payer's bank. The payment is then transmitted to the payee's bank for processing.
6. Acknowledgment Handling: Upon receiving each payment, the payee's bank must ensure that the payee acknowledges receipt. This acknowledgment is then communicated back to the payer's bank, confirming successful delivery of the payment.
7. Exception Handling: In case an acknowledgment is not received within a specified timeframe or if there are any issues with the payment, appropriate error handling mechanisms should be in place to address these exceptions. This may involve retrying the payment, notifying the payer, or investigating the cause of the failure.
8. Regulatory Compliance and Security: Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and implement robust security measures to protect sensitive payment information and prevent fraud or unauthorized access.
By following these steps and considerations, financial institutions can implement recurring instant payments with acknowledgment from payee to payer in both RTP and FedNow systems, providing a seamless and secure payment experience for their customers.
