Today Payments Request for Payment

A Payer or Payee can use the same EIN, alias, or email address across multiple banks and multiple accounts

• Rails move money, (FedNow®, RTP®).
• The Identity Directory decides where and why, (designed to sit between FedNow® / RTP® / Same-Day ACH / card rails and accounting systems such as QuickBooks® QBO.)
• The Accounting Layer (SecureQBPlugin.com) proves what happened, (QBO QuickBooks®)

The correct platform design is to treat that alias not as a single account pointer, but as a directory-managed payment identity that resolves dynamically through rules, permissions, rail availability, and accounting intent

TodayPayments.com is the payment identity and orchestration layer that connects business aliases, multi-bank settlement accounts, real-time payment rails, and accounting systems into one unified Request-for-Payment ecosystem

Minimum ISO 20022 Request for Payment Data Fields Summary
A minimum ISO 20022 RfP™ includes key structured data elements such as message identification, creation date and time, requesting party details, debtor (payer) information, creditor (payee) information, instructed amount, currency, remittance information, requested execution date, payment purpose, and response requirements. These standardized fields ensure interoperability across FedNow® and RTP® networks while enabling consistent processing, validation, and reconciliation across financial institutions and accounting platforms.

Request for Payment (RfP™)is a secure, ISO 20022-based payment request that notifies a payer to authorize and complete a payment to the payee. It replaces static invoices with interactive, alias-based invoicing, where the payer receives the request through:
~ SMS/Text
~ Email
~ Quick Response Code (QR)
~ Mobile or Web Interfaces

Each RfP™ directs the payer to a hosted payment page, where they can pay in real time using FedNow®, RTP®, ACH, Credit Cards, or BNPL
