To modernize accounts receivable with instant, secure real-time collections integrated into every business process—eliminating friction, delays, and uncertainty.

TodayPayments.com is a great platform for Real-Time Collections. We help businesses get paid faster through hosted RfP™ links, ISO 20022 batch processing, and direct integration with QuickBooks® QBO. Our FedNow® and RTP® payment rails deliver final Good Funds instantly, empowering businesses to control cash flow and reduce AR exposure.

Real-Time Collections Are Changing the Way Businesses Get Paid

In the fast-paced world of business, waiting to collect payments is no longer acceptable. Traditional invoicing models delay cash flow, increase AR aging, and expose businesses to risk.

With Real-Time Collections powered by FedNow® and RTP®, companies can send Request for Payment (RfP™) via text, email, QR codes, or ecommerce checkout, and receive instant, irrevocable Good Funds—24/7/365. These transactions reconcile automatically in QuickBooks® QBO, ensuring accuracy, visibility, and speed.

Real-Time Collections allow merchants to receive customer payments immediately after issuing a Request for Payment (RfP™). These requests are delivered through hosted payment pages, text messages, or ecommerce triggers, with funds settling in under 10 seconds. Seamlessly connected to QuickBooks® QBO, this process enables real-time ledger reconciliation and eliminates manual entry errors.

Ideal for POS, MOTO, or ecommerce transactions, Real-Time Collections offer unmatched flexibility and security for both merchants and payers.
