Apiture, a leading provider of digital banking solutions, today announced the availability of real-time payment capabilities for its community bank and credit union clients. With this enhancement, Apiture clients can enable their consumer and business account holders to send and receive payments instantly, 24/7/365, through The Clearing House’s RTP® network and the Federal Reserve’s FedNow® Service.
As demand for faster, more reliable payment experiences continues to grow, real-time payments adoption is steadily increasing, especially among businesses. Over half of American companies were already using RTP and FedNow in 2024, according to a study from U.S. Bank, with adoption projected to reach 80% by 2026. As real-time payments shift from a competitive advantage to a customer expectation, offering this capability is becoming increasingly important for community banks and credit unions to compete with larger financial institutions.
“Whether to support company payroll, bill payments, gig worker payments, early wage access, government disbursements, or P2P transfers, real-time payments have emerged as a highly effective way for consumers and businesses to instantly send and receive account-to-account payments,” said Chris Cox, chief operating officer at Apiture. “This represents another step in our ongoing mission to help community and regional financial institutions deliver the features today’s consumers and businesses need and expect.”
