From a Press Release dated June 9, 2025, Fort Lee, NJ Cross River Bank has launched its Request for Payment (RfP) solution, a new feature designed to enable secure, real-time inbound payments via the RTP® (Real-Time Payments) network.
It enables a faster way to move funds via new payment rails than traditional ACH, wire, or check. In addition to providing support for sending instant payments, Modern Treasury also supports the ability to access the “Request for Payment (RFP)” capability at a growing number of banks.
While more speed may mean more endorsement money for athletes, it means faster settlements and more efficient business for commercial banking customers. Faster payments recently made their American debut, with The Clearing House (TCH) instituting the inaugural transaction on the first new payments and clearing system in the U.S.
For small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) eying RTP, Waterhouse said there’s a looming impetus in the form of instant credit card settlement. Certainly the current economic environment has trained a spotlight on the ways speedier payments can help, well, everybody.
According to Russ Waterhouse , executive vice president of Product Development and Strategy at The Clearing House (TCH), the surge in digitization brought on by the COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the evolution of a range of RTP (Real-Time Payments) network advancements, including instant payroll, merchant settlements and tokenization.
However, the banks that have been and will be successful are the ones that see faster payments as the “new normal” for payments, clearing and settlement — and with the “new normal” comes new ways to do everything, from account-to-account payments to transfers across borders.
The rise of Zelle , and any number of peer-to-peer (P2P) payment options, has increasingly brought consumers on board with the need for speed in payments — where settlement is marked by seconds and minutes, not hours or days. Is it prime time for real time, especially for B2B?

The rail was built on the ISO 20022 messaging standard, which sends data and payments together. The ability to send a request for payment via RTP can help smooth reconciliation, he noted. . Leveraging requests for payment could really help in those situations.” .
I don’t have to think about the bank clearing and settlement cycle. For online transactions, he told PYMNTS, merchants can prod consumers to consider an alternative form of online payment, done across real-time rails and through a request for payment. It’s to the merchant’s benefit to get money sooner,” he said.
The solution leverages the RTP network from The Clearing House for real-time payments clearing and settlement capabilities, allowing suppliers to receive instant access to funds, as well as detailed information about the transaction.
However, these modern payment options require trade-offs between speed and costs. ACH is economical but slow, wire transfers are quicker but costly, and credit cards, though convenient, come with extended settlement times and high fees.

As an example, say a customer has a bill due today.
“Learning, connectivity and liquify management, the way that settlement is handled — it’s all been improved and improved and improved,” Hay said. “I They can take the best of breed and incorporate new features like request for payment, which opens up even more use cases.” I think the U.S. is in a good position.
Its initial launch will include core clearing and settlement functionality and some key value-added features, such as a Request-for-Payment (RfP), and over time it will enhance features in subsequent releases to continue to meet industry needs.
Faster Payments is beginning to evolve now that it is more than a decade old, and developers are looking to add new features and capabilities to the technology. Based on their assignments, these workers often experience varying payment frequencies and month-to-month amounts.
