Understanding RTP (Real-Time Payments Network)

Unreviewed registry note: The Real-Time Payments (RTP) network is the first modern core payment infrastructure built in the U.S. in over 40 years, launched by The Clearing House in 2017.

Unreviewed registry note: Widely used for instant merchant payouts (like Uber/DoorDash driver instant cashouts), payroll advances, peer-to-peer wallet transfers, and time-critical insurance claim disbursements.

  2. Step 2 Unreviewed registry note: Identify instant payout actions you initiated from gig economy platforms, digital wallets, or payroll advance apps.
  3. Step 3 Unreviewed registry note: Verify the timestamp, which reflects instant clearing at the exact second of transfer.
