One of the most exciting enhancements to the RTP® network this year is the production availability of request for payment (RfP). For corporates, RfP provides a business with the ability to send a bill, along with the request for payment, directly to a customer’s banking app, so the customer can review the bill, and pay it all from the app. RfP allows bank and credit union customers to send payment requests to others over the RTP network. This is a game changer for the fragmented bill pay space, where some customers often have a lack of control when bills are paid. Customers sometimes pay through the bank’s app, some pay on the business’s website, some still pay by check, and others use third-party tools.
Hear how Verizon is working with Citi and BNY Mellon to offer Verizon customers the ability to receive their bill in their Citi online or mobile experience, and pay it instantly or schedule it for a later time.
Joining this episode of Payments Nerds is Andrew Haskell from BNY Mellon Treasury Services, Sant Srinivasan from Citi, and Attie Muse from Verizon.
