Send FedNow® vs. Same-Day ACH – Which Payment System is Best for Instant Invoicing?
Send FedNow® vs. Same-Day ACH – Instant Payments with Request for Payments (RfP) Mobile Invoicing
Why Businesses Need Faster & More Reliable Payments
In today’s economy, businesses can’t afford payment delays. Whether it’s paying suppliers, receiving payments from customers, or managing payroll, traditional payment methods are slow, costly, and inefficient.
🔹 ACH transactions can take 1-3 business
days to process.
🔹 Same-Day ACH requires batch processing and
banking cut-off times.
🔹 Manual invoicing causes delays and
missed payments.
Now, businesses can eliminate these problems with Send FedNow® instant payments using Request for Payments (RfP) mobile invoicing. This real-time payment system allows payees to send invoices and receive payments instantly—24/7/365.
💡 Imagine sending an invoice via mobile and receiving funds in seconds!
What is Request for Payments (RfP) Mobile Invoicing & How Does It Work?
Request for Payments (RfP) is a digital invoicing tool that allows businesses to send real-time payment requests, prompting customers to approve and complete transactions instantly.
Instead of waiting for customers to manually process ACH payments or credit card transactions, RfP ensures invoices are paid immediately—without delays or processing fees.
How RfP Mobile Invoicing Works:
1️⃣ The business (payee) sends a
payment request via RfP from a mobile device.
2️⃣
The customer (payer) receives an instant payment notification.
3️⃣ The payer reviews the request and approves the
transaction in real-time.
4️⃣ Funds are
immediately transferred, and the payee receives confirmation.
💡 This eliminates unpaid invoices, chargebacks, and bank processing delays.

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.
