What is an Instant (RTP) payment?
What is an Instant (RTP) payment?
Instant payments are coming soon. When you choose Instant for a payment, and your vendor's bank accepts RTP, the money usually lands in your vendor's account within seconds. Instant is not available on US public holidays. You can always pay by standard ACH or domestic wire instead.
What happens if an Instant payment can't be delivered instantly?
What happens if an Instant payment can't be delivered instantly?
We only offer Instant when your vendor's bank accepts RTP. In rare cases, a specific account at that bank can't receive the payment instantly. We then send it by standard ACH so your vendor is still paid, and the Instant fee still applies.
What's the difference between SWIFT OUR and SHA?
What's the difference between SWIFT OUR and SHA?
With OUR, you cover all transfer fees, so your vendor receives the full amount. With SHA, fees are shared, and intermediary banks may deduct charges from the amount your vendor receives.
