Attributes of Request FedNow Payment for your business using instant payments

An upfront on-time "standing approval" using Request FedNow Payment is indeed an instruction or set of instructions provided by a payer to pre-authorize their financial institution to pay future Request for Payments (RfPs) without requiring the payer to review and approve each individual RfP.

Here's how this process works:

  1. Authorization Setup: The payer initiates the process by providing an initial authorization to their financial institution to authorize future payments through FedNow. This authorization is typically a one-time setup process.
  2. Payment Parameters: During the setup, the payer specifies parameters for the standing approval, such as the maximum payment amount, payment frequency, duration of the approval (if applicable), and any other relevant instructions.
  3. Automated Payment Processing: Once the standing approval is in place, the payer's financial institution is authorized to automatically process future payments initiated by the payee (such as invoices or payment requests) without requiring manual intervention from the payer.
  4. Real-Time Authorization: When a payee initiates a Request for Payment (RfP), the payer's financial institution verifies the standing approval and, if the parameters are met, authorizes the payment in real-time through the FedNow network.
  5. Funds Transfer: Upon authorization, funds are transferred in real-time from the payer's account to the payee's account via FedNow, ensuring immediate payment settlement.
  6. Confirmation: Both the payer and the payee receive instant confirmation of the payment transaction, providing assurance of payment completion.

Benefits:

  • Convenience: Payers benefit from a streamlined payment process without the need for manual approval of each payment request.
  • Efficiency: Standing approvals reduce administrative burden and processing time for both payers and payees, enabling faster payment processing.
  • Predictability: Payees can rely on timely payments, improving cash flow management and financial planning.
  • Security: Real-time authorization and instant payment settlement enhance transaction security and reduce the risk of payment delays or errors.

Overall, upfront on-time standing approvals using Request FedNow Payment streamline payment processing and provide a convenient and efficient way for payers to authorize future payments without the need for manual intervention.
