Attributes of Instant Recurring Payments for your business using instant payments

An "upfront on-time standing approval" for instant recurring payments is essentially a pre-authorization given by the payer to their financial institution. This authorization instructs the financial institution to execute future payments automatically without requiring the payer to review and approve each individual Request for Payment (RfP) or invoice. Here's how this process typically works:

  1. Establishment of Standing Approval:
    • The payer provides explicit consent to their financial institution to set up a standing approval for recurring payments. This can usually be done through the bank's online banking platform, mobile app, or by filling out a form.
  1. Authorization Details:
    • The payer specifies the details of the authorization, including the frequency of payments, the maximum amount allowed per payment, the duration of the authorization, and any other relevant terms and conditions.
  1. Verification and Confirmation:
    • The financial institution verifies the standing approval request and confirms the terms with the payer. This may involve additional authentication measures to ensure the security of the authorization.
  1. Initiation of Recurring Payments:
    • Once the standing approval is in place, the financial institution automatically initiates recurring payments according to the specified schedule. This can include payments for bills, subscriptions, memberships, or any other recurring expenses.
  1. Funding from Payer's Account:
    • On the scheduled payment dates, the financial institution debits the necessary funds from the payer's account and transfers them to the payee's account. This process occurs instantly and without requiring any manual intervention from the payer.
  1. Notification and Confirmation:
    • Both the payer and payee receive notifications or confirmations of the payment transactions. This ensures transparency and allows for tracking of payments on both ends.
  1. Reconciliation and Oversight:
    • The payer can monitor their account statements and transaction history to ensure that all payments are processed correctly. They can also review and manage standing approvals as needed, making adjustments or canceling authorizations if necessary.

By setting up an upfront on-time standing approval for instant recurring payments, the payer can enjoy the convenience of automated payments while maintaining control and oversight over their finances. This streamlines the payment process and eliminates the need for manual approval of each individual payment request.
