Real-Time Payments Gateway


ACH Real-Time


What is ACH Real-Time

Real-Time 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 and secure. FedNow, ACH Real-Time and 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 and text messaging system connected to every transaction participant through all U.S.-based financial institutions.

Real-Time Payments (RTP) like FedNow, ACH Real-Time, and other instant payment systems enable immediate, irrevocable, and secure transfers that allow funds to be available instantly in the recipient’s account. Here’s a breakdown of how these systems work and their benefits:https://

Key Features of Real-Time Paymentshttps://

  1. Instant Transferhttps://
    • Immediate Availability: Real-Time Payments ensure that funds are available in the recipient’s account within seconds. This is beneficial for both personal and business transactions, allowing the recipient to access funds without delay.https://
    • 24/7/365 Availability: Unlike traditional ACH transfers, which are often processed in batches during banking hours, Real-Time Payments operate around the clock, including weekends and holidays.https://
  2. Irrevocabilityhttps://
    • Finality of Transactions: Once a Real-Time Payment is made, it is irrevocable and cannot be reversed by the sender, which adds a layer of security for the recipient. This finality is particularly advantageous for businesses that rely on prompt and assured payments.https://
    • Reduced Risk of Fraud: Since payments cannot be pulled back once settled, recipients have peace of mind that they won’t experience chargebacks, as commonly seen with credit card transactions.https://
  3. Securityhttps://
    • End-to-End Encryption: Real-Time Payments often use advanced encryption standards and fraud detection systems to ensure transactions are secure.https://
    • Intra- and Inter-Bank Transfers: These payment systems facilitate instant account-to-account (A2A) transfers within the same bank (intra-bank) or across different banks (inter-bank), providing flexibility and wide accessibility for users.https://

Examples of Real-Time Payment Systemshttps://

  1. FedNowhttps://

    • Broad Participation: FedNow enables financial institutions of all sizes to offer real-time payment solutions, allowing consumers and businesses to receive funds instantly from any participating bank.https://
  2. ACH Real-Time (Same-Day ACH)https://
    • Near Real-Time: While not as immediate as FedNow or RTP, Same-Day ACH offers faster settlement times compared to traditional ACH, typically within the same business day.https://
    • Cost-Effective Alternative: Same-Day ACH is often less expensive than other real-time options and is particularly suitable for payroll, business-to-business (B2B) payments, and bill payments that don’t require instant finality.https://
  3. Real-Time Payments (RTP) Networkhttps://
    • Real-Time Payment Infrastructure by The Clearing House: The RTP Network allows for real-time, account-to-account transfers across participating financial institutions. It provides flexibility and immediacy similar to FedNow, making it a viable option for intra- and interbank transfers.https://

Benefits of Real-Time Paymentshttps://

  • Enhanced Cash Flow: Businesses benefit from immediate payment availability, reducing cash flow constraints and enabling better financial planning.https://
  • Increased Efficiency: For industries that require urgent payments, such as healthcare, emergency services, and e-commerce, Real-Time Payments reduce delays and processing times.https://
  • Improved Customer Experience: Instant payments provide convenience and transparency, as customers can see funds credited to their accounts in real time, improving trust and satisfaction.https://
