About Request Instant Payment
"Real-time" and "Instant Payment" are two related but distinct concepts in the context of payment systems, including RfP FedNow Request.
Real-time payments refer to payments that are executed and settled immediately, or nearly immediately, as opposed to traditional payment methods that involve delays and clearing periods. Real-time payments are processed in seconds and the recipient can access the funds instantly.
Instant payments, on the other hand, are a subset of real-time payments that are processed and settled 24/7/365, meaning they are available to users at any time. Instant payments offer the added convenience of allowing customers to send and receive payments anytime, anywhere.
In the context of RfP FedNow Request, the system enables real-time payments, which means that payments can be made and settled immediately. While this is not technically an "instant" payment system in that it only operates during business hours, it is still a significant improvement over traditional payment systems that can take days to process and settle.
