InstantRTP lets you send money in real time using ATM rails via routing and account numbers. It’s designed for fast, one-way disbursements to your borrowers or customers, often in seconds.

InstantRTP is best suited for situations that demand urgency, certainty, and convenience:

  • Fund loans immediately upon approval
  • Deliver refunds or reimbursements without delays
  • Make off-cycle disbursements (nights, weekends, holidays)

Borrowers appreciate the speed and trasnparancy. You benefit from reduced support inquiries and faster fulfillment.

  1. Collect recipient card or wallet data
  2. Securely tokenize and store credentials
  3. When a payout is needed, trigger the payment using the FLEX API
  4. The gateway validates, routes, and pushes funds via the payment networks
  5. Receive a status update: Success, pending, or failure

Typical turnaround time is less than 30 seconds, however it can take longer if problems occur.

  • Immediate disbursements
  • Always-on
  • No paper, no signatures
  • Predictable (nearly instant results)
