There are so many ways to send money – FASTER! Payments such as Same Day ACH (SDA), Real-Time Payments (RTP), Push-to-Debit, Wire Transfers, and the pending arrival of FedNow. This 60-minute session will identify the different types and help you recognize the benefits and drawbacks of each one and the basics of how they work (with some examples).

Real-time payments over the RTP network provide consumers and businesses with the ability to conveniently send payments directly from their accounts 24/7, and to receive and access funds sent to them over the RTP network immediately.

Push to Debit is an option out there as well, in near real-time—even on holidays, weekends, and outside of normal business hours—push funds from your business to a user’s bank account through the associated debit card.

Wire transfer is expensive but a means to send a payment fast with immediate settlement. Lastly, the Same Day ACH (SDA) functionality (on banking days) as another means to send money “faster” will be discussed, including the late-night ACH to provide payment details after banking hours.
